[QUOTE="Vimes, post: 883691, member: 87494"] I personally did not have an issue at all with the separate panel but for people like my Son and brother they can change skins etc without ever having to leave the one single window, changing skins and it also does not need the XBMC to restart. They no longer need to do anything other than use their remote controls. No mouse or keyboard is required. My Son uses his iPhone to control XBMC. For me it was spending much more time within the config of MP and the codec pain that was very very frustrating and totally negated with XBMC. As I just place XBMC on suspend it simply sleeps until activated and thus the start up thing is not really important to me. The only slight issue I have had with XBMC is the need to use the advance and retard feature for the subtitles, if needed. That is simple enough and can be done live whilst watching the film etc. [/QUOTE]
