MediaPortal 1 and 2 look great - and everyone raves about the feature set. I'd love to use either of them, but with all the smart devices on the market today - smart blu-ray players, smart TV's, roku devices, etc, etc - it makes no sense to connect a PC to every TV where I want access to my media library. I can't take MediaPortal (either version) seriously until it supports UPNP and/or DLNA so that every TV in my house already has access to the media served up by the MP server sitting on my media PC on my work room.
Oh - and one more thing - when you get around to adding DLNA support, don't forget on-the-fly transcoding so that these "smart" (stupid) devices can play my MP4 files - most of them will only play MPEGv2 video with AC3 audio wrapped in a very few container formats (WTV, TS, etc).
yes, saw that, but the development seems stopped and lacks the most important thing (imho):live tv.
There is plenty of upnp MEDIA servers, but, as far as i know, only dvbviewer serves live tv.
