[QUOTE="Vimes, post: 857231, member: 87494"] you will always get a "fringe" element in any forum whose demands and comments are beyond being simply unreasonable or inappropriate. Sadly that is inevitable. It can be difficult to separate enthusiasm shown for another media application without drawing comparisons to MP, as we are within the MP forum and I was using MP before I tried XBMC. After finding no solution for this issue... [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/jittery-video-gets-worse-over-time-lots-of-frames-dropped.106244/#post-852260[/url] ... I felt that I had little choice but to look for an alternative. As I have noted I was astounded at how easy it was to configure XBMC. To install it as a complete package and get up and going within minutes with no need to bother with any codecs and be able to make all the settings by using my remote from within the GUI was fabulous. It found and categorised all my movies and TV shows without issues, no plugins needed. It seems a very light and well packaged media application, it starts up within 2 seconds. My Son was able to download the XMCBuntu edition and thus have a fully working media application without needing to buy an operating system. It is difficult not to enthuse about the virtues of XBMC. The next edition "Frodo" will have a built in TV function. MP is a great media application and it can only get better in time, although I'm not sure that having MP 2 only support Windows 7 (AFAIK) is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
