Meedio sells out to Yahoo (1 Viewer)

[MrMario64]

There are some very talented people in the Meedio community who wrote plugins and skins.

Absolutely, and I hope many people will give MP a chance.
There will absolutely be issues for meedio users as you will first want to mimic how meedio was working for you.

After you get past this and learn how MP does things, and how you can make MP do the things you want I know for sure many will stick by MP.

Here's to open source and community!

One personal note:

Please don't post to Meedio threads and tell people to use MP, cause it's better or whatever. Whenever someone likes to use another HTPC app, he'll find his way. Maybe it's MediaPortal, maybe something else. No matter if it's a developer, a skinner or a user.

thought this was locked down :wink:

All of those customers left out in the cold.

Yep, recently bought a license of meedio pro.

I was upgrading from xbmc to a pc platform and i choose meedio because of the rich plug-ins.

Now i can't download them anymore even the upgrade sections are locked. I'm really pissed about this.

But can't stay pissed forever and have to go further with my htpc, so i'll give MP a try.

- PlayMee

PlayMee is a Meedio video player enhancer. It will play media based on user-defined conditions (e.g. file extension or library fields) in any configured player (Meedio's internal player or external player). It provides: off-line media support with user-configurable prompts; auto-play of DVD, SVCD, VCD and user-defined media; automatic mounting and playing of image files using Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% or other image mounting software; Intro and Trailer support. PlayMee allows you to easily use an external video player with Meedio, while using the default Media.Movie.screen file.


- Meedio Helper

This plugin enables other plugins to open new modules, set theme-parameters and a lot more

- HDeeTV 2.0 (Theme)

An excellent theme which visualize other great plugins

I'm in the same boat as SystemLord. I just had it running pretty good. I also chose it because of the plugins available. I was getting ready to purchase it when the announcement was made.

I have two XBoxs running XBMC and love it so MP was the logical choice to check out. I am very impressed with what is happening here and thrilled with the new PMIII skin.

A few other plugins I'll miss (other than those SystemLord mentioned) are:

the MovieTimes plugin for local theater listings. You could also schedule a time to download trailers so you didn't have to stream them which was nice. I just set it to download new ones at night when I wasn't using it.

The Comics plug-in

The MeeTVshowsImporter plugin which neatly organized whole seasons and included episode information. I was using it with my Season DVDs.

I am very impressed with MP overall though and plan to keep tweaking. I've often thought about doing some plugin development so I might have to find some time to do that too. There is a great community here.
