[QUOTE="DFergATL, post: 964063, member: 130818"] Just really getting started into building my HTPC. I am playing with XBMC and Media Portal. In a lot of ways I like Media Portal but can't figure the answers to a few questions. Youtube - I can't for the life of me figure out where to enter my id/password for youtube. Netflix - Can't figure this one out either. Amazon Video - would be nice but not as important to me as Netflix. Music/Video Artwork - For some reason I can't get but a few things for artwork on my music and video library. I have also played with Plex, which is xbmc based also and it found artwork for almost everything and I can't figure out why Media Portal can only come up with one or two. XBMC does better but still not as good as Plex. I am hoping someone knowledgeable about these things can tell me more on how to get the most from this. Since I am in the MP forum. From people who have knowledge of both. Why MP and not XBMC. My goal is to have PVR, be able to play music/video from my home server, view images. Play DVD and BluRay. and view internet video, youtube, revision 3, netflix.. I am having a hard time trying to figure out what one has over the other. I do like the interface to Frodo and I was at least able to figure out how to log into Youtube. But overall MP has a better feel to it. [/QUOTE]
