[QUOTE="charli181, post: 330482, member: 54408"] I refuse to use ITunes for the simple fact all my stuff is mp3 and refuse to use an overated format (thats another thread though:P). I use the internal BASS player for music and the LastFM plugin (free streaming music thats good quality). I cannot comment on the other plugins and would suggest looking in the Plugin part of the forum for comments from users that do. Sadly, the video codec thing is the biggest hurdle to overcome within Mediaportal and each user has different results. What worked for me is not always your solution but I can only offer suggestions as to what I did like so many others. There are so many software solutions out there, each have their own benifits. I am currently using PDVD8 for all my video codecs as I only have MPEG2 encoding in my area. I did play around with the coreAVC stuff with a sample 264 file just to get it right but it has not been fully load tested for the above reason stated. One day I will get around to writing a guide for common Codec problems. [/QUOTE]
