[QUOTE="Livin, post: 645534, member: 38627"] While I respect your personal opinion - no opinion is ever wrong, it is clear that much of information you have posted is based on [B]lack[/B] of XBMC experience. Let me briefly explain... Both points you make here are interesting... a. Not sure how many skins you tried but many of the skins "flow" very differently than others. There are very few skins that are clones (only changing gfx) - unlike MP where most of the skins are simply the same template and change GFX b. XBMC has been flying past MP on development speed. More devs, more skinners, more users, more scripters, etc. a. MP's Moving Pictures is already built-into XBMC. It is up to each skinner on if/how they want to implement the features. They can pick and choose and change the look'n'feel anyway they want. So in reality... XBMC is far more flexible in this area since it is built-into the core code, it can be extended and/or customized by the skinner. b. I think new users have an advantage with MP based on the Config app, which XBMC does not have. There are less things to install/config with XBMC so from that perspective it is easier but a basic config is easier on MP. I know not a single person that has a problem playing content on XBMC... it has properly played ALL content I have used, including content packed in ISO, spread across multiple RARs (without extracting), etc... which MP simply cannot do without a 3rd party add-on. XBMC uses FFDshow is a a great and VLC is highly regarded... so if you have problems playing content on XBMC the problem is your content, not XBMC or VLC's issue. [/QUOTE]
