[QUOTE="dir, post: 1049608, member: 24485"] Its been a year since the above, and MP2 has come along considerably, but even Alpha 4's handling of movies makes it impossible to use as a full-time htpc compared to MP1+MP or XBMC. Traditionally, the 'base' capabilities of MP tend to be "just good enough" to handle media, and MP2 is no exception (IMO). Unfortunately its too basic to hope for any WAF in my household. Specifically: - when you enter Movies, you're faced with a bunch of genre folders. Even changing this to "coverflow" doesn't help. - there's no way to sort your collection by "most recently added". That kills it totally if my users are forced to somehow know what the latest movies are and scroll through thousands of movies to find them. I'm sure MP2 will continue to be enhanced as it progresses through beta, but I think we all know that the changes will be very slight and mostly bug fixes from here on in. If people are forced to look at a bunch of genre folders as their initial view of their movies, then MP2's doomed - sorry, but its true. MP1 and xbmc are no-brainers to use as alternatives. [/QUOTE]
