[QUOTE="RickDeckard, post: 301085, member: 25876"] Something along those lines would make more sense. One of the points that makes me want to use MP over XBMC (apart from the great TV server obviously) is the fact that you can fine tune which codecs to use. XBMC only offers the built-in ones, which don't always work great and are certainly not the best concerning performance. However, MPC HC offers similar (or even more) control over the codecs to use, and it does work more reliably - especially with MKV files or H.264 TS files. Often a file doesn't play with MP1, but works great when played in MPC HC with the same codecs configured. What would be even better is if MPII would offer a similar level of codec control as can be found in zoomplayer's "Smart Play" functionality. Zoomplayer offers the possibility to define one or more codecs per stream type (AC3, DTS, H.264, MPEG2 PS, MPEG2 TS, ...) and then zoomplayer builds a graph automatically based on the streams it encounters in the file that's being played. And yes, XBMCs GUI looks better and is more responisive, but I'm sure that this will be dealt with properly in MPII. [/QUOTE]
