[QUOTE="marv, post: 770755, member: 88694"] [b]AW: Is mediaportal going to survive the new xbmc[/b] [USER=104815]matejdro[/USER]: if you need tv support, then mp will be your choice. that's for sure. mp and xbmc work a bit differently (afaik). in xbmc there's no extra plugin for the movies like "moving pictures". you scrape your movies in xbmc (with a scraper you chose before - it's important to have a good one) to add them to the library. you can do a manual search in xbmc btw. or you can use an extra program (haven't tried any of them, because i don't need it). all other options and customizations possibilities depend which skin you have actually. within the library you can search by genre, year,...have additional infos from the actors, get a link to the trailer and so on. how this will be arranged in xbmc depends totally on your skin. the plugins (in xbmc called addons) are totally easy to manage. you do once find your video addons (within xbmc through addon manager - they are all tiny python scripts and need 2 sec. to download) and enable auto-update. that's it. you are always up-to-date. can't be easier than that. there's actually an addon for mce remotes to configure and map the keys in xbmc directly, but i didn't need that either. i used to edit the xml, which isn't very user-friendly. i agree with you.
