[QUOTE="Efros, post: 54174, member: 18068"] As someone above said its a hobby, MP is by no means for the complete noob, but once configured can be used by one. The most important thing to me is that pretty much it does what I want it to, play videos, tvguide (updated using windows scheduler and the update.bat in the xmltv directory), will dl and load torrents to azureus and will monitor those torrents on a remote pc (many thanks fcsobel), gives me my weather and when I'm homesick that of my homeland, gives me an excellent fron end to my music collection if a bit slow at times. Since I put MP on my machine I rarely watch cable TV, either I'm watching videos or listening to music. In the last six months I have listened to more music than I had done in the previous 5 years. Come the new year I will be building a new machine with a much faster CPU a second tuner card (even though I don;t watch much TV I have still had the occasional clash with 3 shows at the same time grrrrr!), and a much better audio setup. Next step will be rigging up an external dvd-rw in the living room connected by firewire to the PC in the basement, allowing me to get rid of my ageing dvd living room player. Mp is not perfect but for me its the best I've tried. [/QUOTE]
