[QUOTE="LastMar, post: 12347, member: 10501"] I personally think a better reference system would be Meedio.... I'll prolly get flamed for saying so but I think MP is more like Meedio in a lot of ways. Anyway, aside from some recording and scheduling issues, I don't have any major problems with MP.... just some things I'd like to see changed that will probably be changed over time anyway. (Features that automatically set themselves up but also allow a lot of user control if needed, for example the TV tuning) I'm mainly talking about copying things from MCE that aren't handled really well to begin with in MCE, at least from a user control perspective. For example, the way files are saved. The way you have to do it in MCE is horrible; should it be done the same way in MP? Of course not. MCE doesn't seem to recognize the fact that its parent system is still a PC at heart, and not everything can be a "hide all computer aspects from the user" WebTV/TiVo clone..... With the Explorer and My Programs plugins, among others, MediaPortal allows a lot of file browser implementation that isn't possible under MCE. Also, the very fact that they are indeed plugins allows those who do not want this functionality, to have the option of not using it. (In fact, the plugin-based nature of MP is one of the things that separates it most from MCE in the first place.) As such, MediaPortal has the ability to surpass MCE in several respects, in that it can be more than a simple GUI and background process, and can over time further integrate into a PC as a replacement shell.... For those who would want such function. [/QUOTE]
