[QUOTE="powermarcel10, post: 883746, member: 108759"] XBMC is a really great piece of software.. Specially for (what we call in Dutch) "house, garden and kitchen" users.. I mean users without a lot of interest in configure things or don't know how to do.. I think that XBMC has a lot better "out of the box experience" but what you have is what you get and it is not that highly costomizible as Mediaportal is.. About the out of the box experience of MP; I think that this could be a lot better.. It would be nice if the (new) user can make a kind of default installation and after doing that; Mediaportal should be complete installed.. So give the users the option to choose skins and plugins in the installation, let the user select folders, and let codecs be configured fine out of the box. If a new user installs MP it looks a bit boring in my opinion with the default skin and the missing good plugins like moving pictures tv series and online videos.. also a nice skin like streamedmp or avalon should be the new default skin of mp.. I really can't believe that there are a lot of people who finds the default skin nicer than the ones I said.. So why putting so much work in it? skins like avalon(nis) and the upcoming titan skin are looking a way better.. but ofcourse thats personally.. It is the first impression a user get and I think that this impression could be a lot better out of the box.. It can be scared of new users because they have to do so many things to create a complete program.. This is XBMC doing much better I think.. Maybe you think; why are you nog using XBMC? well that's simple.. Mediaportal is for me sooooo much better! if you invest some energy and time in it's plugins, skins and other configure possibilitys, it has so many things to offer.. You can change so many things the way you want it.. XBMC is very limited in a lot of things.. Conclusion; If you want a "simple", stable and fast program that is nice and working great out of the box, and you are limited in time to gef the best out of your HTPC; choose xbmc! In all other cases; MEDIAPORTAL!! (also for (better) tv support..) [/QUOTE]
