[QUOTE="dir, post: 489577, member: 24485"] Don't be fooled by the slick user interface. It looks great, but the backend is a nightmare. MeediOS might be improved from Meedio, but from a quick look on the MeedioS forums, the plugins are still the same and that's where you end up spending hours and hours and hours. I spent years with Meedio and ended up spending about 9 hours each week fiddling with it, because the plugin authors would keep changing, tweaking, fixing/breaking and updating their plugins constantly. Sometimes one update would break others, or introduce new strangeness or bugs. Each plugin author has different points of view on how configuration should work, and even the syntax for doing things like importing can be different between plugins - like, for example, one might need you to specify "*.avi, *.mov, *.mpg" and another will need it as "*.avi;*.mov;*.mpg". But neither would tell you which is correct or produce an error, and you'd end up trolling through the forums for hours working out each little problem. Nice front end. But unless you like constant fiddling with micro-techie-detail little bits all the time, "ferget it!" Just my user experience. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
