I am really happy with Mediaportal, especially the RC3 has matured very much.
I have setup many HTPCs with hardware acceleration. Unfortunately not all files play with DXVA enabled codecs, and even worse, if you try to play such a file with DXVA enabled, most of the time corrupts the display. It would be nice if internal media player had the following feature: Check if file can be played with DXVA acceleration (that would require some parsing of the file, if it is H.264 L4.1 or not etc). If it can, use a system configured DXVA codec. If not use a system configured non-DXVA codec. Since internal video player already has some video file testing features (for example to check if it will use H.264 or MPEG2 codec), i think this could be extended to support such a feature.
