[QUOTE="TritonT, post: 282561, member: 26020"] I have tried XBMC for Windows, MeediOS and many other media centre solutions and most of them have merits. One has a really good underlying structure, one has a great singleseat DVB, etc. However, they all lack the ambition of MediaPortal II. For example no other project is attempting such an extensive client-server architecture, including TV, radio, IPTV, IP radio, music database etc. To me it is not important what XBMC for Windows can (or indeed can’t) do now, what is important is that the project has no ambition to do what I want a media centre to do in the future. I think it is pretty clear that MediaPortal will be progressing regardless of the status of any other projects. It is also pretty clear that it is not going to port to Linux anytime soon either. The fact that there are a number of open source projects out there now should be seen as a positive – the more projects, the more code already written and available for use. [/QUOTE]
