[QUOTE="chriskent, post: 1291809, member: 169720"] Hi, It's nice to see some activity on this thread.... The first thing I would like to say is I've been a software developer for over 30 years, C, C++ a tiny bit of C#, and more recently Java and JS. So I feel I know my way around software, UI's etc... Just to back up a bit, my use case, might be unique - not sure, but I feel a lot of people would use a Media Center like me, I'm still a little old school with my TV viewing, but I use a PC to control my TV with a mouse only (no remote, no keyboard - all of what I need to control the PC should be doable with a mouse and sometimes on-screen keyboard). This is mostly to watch Live TV, that has either been recorded or has been saved in the timeshift buffer and we typically rewind to the start of the show and skip through the ads and fast forward the 'boring' bits. So I never really watch TV 'Live', that is TV at the time it is broadcasting, it is always watched later - if that makes sense. I also want to say, you mentioned MKV formats etc... I'm not really worried too much about playing Movies etc that are obtained externally, these play fine and don't really need the timeshift control here, my timeshift and replay options are mostly in reference to TV streams from a TV Tuner card, so not sure if this makes a difference. If you are familiar with WMC, I must admit this is the best software ever for viewing live TV with recording and buffer playback, it just works, the UX is easy and the feedback on the timeshift bar is excellent, you know exactly what time you are at and so easy to scroll back and forth, step backwards and forwards and fast forward and rewind with no lag, glitches etc... If Media Portal 2 can ever match this, then myself and almost every other person clinging to WMV would be grateful - I would even pay for the software at this stage since no one can do it nicely like WMC. I would also consider getting involved with the development if I could add/fix this myself. Enough for today, I will give my feedback on skins and bugs I have found later. Chris [/QUOTE]
