[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 645558, member: 10723"] Did you take a look at all the options MovingPictures offers? Because to me it seems that you did not look into its configuration. It allows the user to change a lot [I](like creating sections - one for kids movies, one for partents, etc)[/I], and these options are [B]not tied[/B] to any specific skin. No offence, but now you do. :) I have quite a large collection of sample material to test mediaplayback. These are samples created directly by devices from vairous brands such as (HD) camcorders, digi-cams, dvb-receivers, other TV-applications as well as official movie trailers from the web and"handmade" files using a _lot_ of different codecs/encoders. With some of these I can trigger small issues like corrupted video as well as major issues like missing audio, multipe audio streams played at once and even application crashes. I use these samples when testing MP versions before release, and when testing new codecs. My previous post was not meant to imply that XBMC has a bad player included. What I want to show is that there is no such thing like a "flawless codecpack / player". There will always be media where the[I] (included) [/I]codec in use does not work. For that you can now blame the filter used to play the media, or the encoder. At the end, the user does not care. He wants that his media plays. If you use a player which has the filters inbuilt, then this is great for users because they do not have to care about which filters to install. But once the media from a user does not play.... he has a major issue. Imagine what our users would think if we told them that its not the fault of MP, but of the TV providers that TV is not working for them. Even though it is the truth because the broadcaster does not follow the mpeg2 standart completelly, it would be simply ridiculous if we would say that to the users. Same with all mediaplayback. Unless the stream is "broken", it is the "fault" of the filters used to play the media, if playback fails. We all know what the source of that "media" is. and the team was simply not interested to support that. ;) but as you said yourselfe. someone in our great community created a extension to make it possible. Extensions are a strong part of MediaPortal. And in MP2 they will continue to be that. [/QUOTE]
