I agree, I think Streamed MP is definitely one of the most stylish skins available right now, and I think it's much more attractive to the typical type of person that would be interested in setting up MediaPortal. Plus, with it's installer, it is by far the easiest skin to setup. And because it includes MP-TVSeries and Moving Pictures, it streamlines the setup process that much more.1) Although it's a BETA skin, it works very well and looks to have a handle on all of it's existing issues. Blue3/Blue3Wide are not without their own issues as well. StreamedMP is leagues ahead of Blue3 in terms of style, professionalism, and "sexy" factor.Very good guide, but there are two things that are bothering me.
1) Asking newbie users to use BETA skin. Not good as it brings its own issues into play.
For something that is more stable I'd maybe suggest Monochrome or Indigo. I would definately not suggest Blue3 or Blue3Wide though as it is still not even distributed with support for the most popular plug-ins (including the ones mentioned in this guide).
Excellent point about the installer. That's another reason why I chose to put StreamedMP in this guide. It makes installation/configuration of the skin and two of the most useful MP plugins all very simple. All the more reason for HTPC users to wanna use StreamedMP: streamlined installation.
