[QUOTE="emphatic, post: 857252, member: 24365"] I often try XBMC as testing stuff is fun, but as I have a family that depends on the HTPC to not have too drastic changes etc, "jumping over" is hard, in my case for the following reasons: [B]The TV Series plugin for MediaPortal is unrivaled[/B]. I watch A LOT of shows, and very few of these are picked up in XBMC, probably due to my lack of folder structure, in MePo, everything is perfect with very little interaction from me. Same goes for movies, but XBMC works OK here, but scraping takes way too long (as I don't have scene releases with .nfo files. My MCE remote gives me everything I can think of in MePo, in XBMC I can't remap buttons and only basic navigation and playback works. No context menu support, no zoom button support etc. MePo really shines here IMHO. With every new XBMC release I cross my fingers and hope that my remote has more functions than UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, OK, BACK, PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, SKIP, VOLUME, but I'm always disappointed.
