[QUOTE="emphatic, post: 1140119, member: 24365"] For me as well, Kodi looks great until I try to use it beyond the initial awe provided by the snappy GUI. MePo pros: * TV-Series plugin gives me perfect results with very little work, in Kodi, I'd have to rename/sort all of the media in my series directory manually to have it picked up nearly as neat. * Same thing with Moving Pictures and IMDB+. * The backend configuration is so powerful and intuitive. * The remote section effortlessly allows for super easy setup without third party applications. * The picture quality is noticeably better. MePo cons: * Crashes everytime I close it * Music section is horribly outdated to the point I no longer play music with my HTPC, I use my AVR's phone app instead. I wish it could have an online supported plugin like Moving Pictures or TV-Series where you wouldn't even need proper tags. Kodi pros: * Fast, pretty GUI * Runs on more than Windows Kodi cons: * Very anal about media naming. Picks up two shows in my TV-Series folder, but not all seasons. I have plenty more and MePo NEVER fails here. * Same as above for my movie folders. * Remote support is a joke. If the scraping could be better, I'd might reconsider, cause I just have better things to do with my rare spare time then rename media files, lesser picture quality or not. I think the remote control issues annoying, but it's a one time setup annoyance, really. Emph [/QUOTE]
