[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 6083"] iam in the process of selecting hardware to build my htpc. i too am looking at mce2005 as a possible choice. I prefer mp at the moment. it is rough around the edges but it is very new too. i believe in 6 months this will be a polished stable project. i am trying to be careful to purchase hardware that will work with allthe major htpc software out at the moment. i have played with meedio, media portal, and mce2004. i like media portal the best. it was eaisest to configure and worked well with all my xvid/divx videos. i had numerous codec issues with meedio, i have since resolved these and it is not directly meedios fault but with the same codecs, mp played everything that meedio could not. what i liked best in meedio was the tv series plugin that downloaded data form tvtome.com on each episode in a series. that was a beautiful plugin and i miss it. i hope someone will take a look at that feature and develop a similar plugin for mp. frodo, have u used mce2005? i the svideo playback better than in media portal? i want to buy the 150mce card but i have read reports that svideo is not working in mp. will this be resolved in the next build? i am planing to start putting to gether a dedicated pc for tv viewing. i like mp because it is open source and hopefully will use opensource codecs etc. i do not like that programs recorded in mce2005 with the new broadcast flag will not be able to be played back on anything except the pc it was recorded on. i want to be able to playback my recordings when and how i choose. this is why i support media portal. i am not a programmer, i am a pc technician. i cannot contibute other than reporting bugs and helping others on the forum. I can contribute money to the project and will do so in the next week (wed). i will contribute what i can when i can. I really want to see this app grow to become great. i like that it uses folder structure as well as xml or id3 tag info. mce does not, and meedio does not easily either. i just want to match the live tv side of things with the same level as mce2005 which i hear is quite good. i really appreciate the hard work and effort that is put into media portal.
