[QUOTE="ManOnMoon, post: 180979, member: 23182"] Hi guys, I think I'm searching now around two years for the "perfect" mediacenter software. On essential point for being perfect is that I can pick and choose my music without switching one the TV. After some experiments with a small secondary TFT display I came to the point that it makes more sense to use a display or device that is already available. So in my opinion using a PDA or a mobile is the best solution for that. So the question was what do I need to be displayed on this remote. In my opinion that are the central features: - Playlist - Actual playing - Coverart So I began the search for a Mediacenter with this capabilities: - XP and VISTA MCE with NetRemote can - LinuxMCE does - Xlobby comes with a great PDA remote interface - ITunes can be controlled with Salling Clicker in a great way - Media Portal does not have any stable solution for this Honestly besides these requirements Media portal is unbeaten - it has a great TV engine and a great range of features and plug-ins. It is nearly possible to configure everything with MediaPortal but its a shame that there is no equal functionality. If anyone has a glue to achieve this goal I would greatly appreciate this efforts! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
