[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1069896, member: 109222"] Hi. Just a matter of skin- development. Mediainfo.dll is used already to add media infos to MP2 DB. In MP2 all Video, Audio and Pictures Media is handled by core MP2 itself. Exact the same as in XBMC... Online Media are also part of a basic MP2 installation, also there are different plugin (Online Videos, Webradio) than the "normal" media plugin used to achieve this. But all is stored in the same Database provided by the central MP2 Server, something that even XBMC can not dream of. Together with some other unique features like Picture in Picture support for evey type of media (e.g. you can watch a movie mkv while waiting for the commercial break to be over, having live TV in small pip window to not miss the end of the commercials...) or full 3D capable GUI it's the best HTPC software available today and tomorrow. Sadly MP2 is still in Alpha state, but we are pretty sure to release a first Beta this year... Not completely correct. Also you can use inbuild MyVideos to playback all types of Video incl. TV Shows you only can build a DB with metadata for movies with MyVideos. For TV shows you need (and only can use) TVSeries plugin. MyFilms and Moving Pictures are more or less obsolete in meantime. In earlier days the MyVideos plugin delivered with core MP1 was not very feature rich. That's why community plugins are developed. Moving Pictures is an integrated solution which can handle metadata scrapping itself. Very similar to MyVideos after the great rework done a year ago (more or less).
