[QUOTE="hardylane, post: 967574, member: 120414"] In July last year I made a big post criticising the handling of the Eve project, and got some good answers, but now it's time to make another posting I think. I have dumped Media Portal on every machine I own. I grew tired of the configuration issues, the codec issues, and the endless tweaking seemingly needed just to make the thing work. I have switched back to XBMC, my original media centre of choice, and the new release of this now has PVR features, making Media Portal redundant, in my view. The speed, solidity and ease of use are head and shoulders above what MP has been able to achieve. The OpenELEC version is phenomenal - a 15 second bootup with no Windows overhead.... As a result, I'm no longer interested in Eve which was, in all honesty, a slegehammer to crack a nut for me, since the proposed home automation control was not needed. I'm glad, actually.. I can stop bothering to check for updates, which I have done for nearly two years. Yes, two years. Starting with the misleading mockups and half-truths and of the limited updates, and of course no sign of any actual software, even in a beta. I may come back to this in the future, because I do keep an open mind, but for now, Eve is, to me (and probably should be for others) vaporware.
