    MediaPortal to do the same.
    It would help if you could specify more clearly what you mean by "the same".

    In other words, are there specific things that you know or have heard XBMC can do that you would like to be able to do with MP? Examples would help.

    Have you tried and failed to find ways to get MP to do some or all of the above things? If so, short descriptions of your experiences would help.

    You should consider to look at MP2: it can be completely configured from the GUI, has a central server based MediaLibrary for all clients and recently the DLNA-Server plugin made a big progress, allows you to access your media items (audio, video and images) by many UPnP based clients.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.
