[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 645322, member: 10723"] Thanks for your comments Livin! :) MediaPortal started as an XBMC port. But the current code of MP 1.1 has not much in common anymore with XBMC. MediaPortal 2 was created from scratch, where we took an completelly new approach to avoid design flaws we have in MP1 and push the server / client concept for the entire mediaplayback/management (not just for TV). We definitly do not plan to turn it into an XBMC (PC) port. I do understand why you suggest that we should "team up" with XBMC, but truth is that I do not think that such is even wanted by XBMC team, nor that it would be a benefit for our application. Yes, XBMC is a great software, but I do not agree that it surpassed MediaPortal 1 in general [I](well, maybe different because of the various needs of users across the world -> US/Europe)[/I]. I know that it is hard to understand what a great application MediaPortal 2 will become. But I am sure that this will change with the infos and testbuilds we will release during the next months. Those who use XBMC right now, and miss features which MediaPortal offers since years, will either have to talk to the XBMC developers to incorporate these, or consider a switch to MediaPortal.
