[QUOTE="Plantje, post: 1134118, member: 152284"] I agree with you on that. If Microsoft does abandon WMC or I decide to move away from WMC myself I can better investigate the situation all over again and determine new best steps rather than trying to bend my current situation to MP. Yes, the same goes for WMC. Currently (because we have quite some recordings and the TV is on during a long time every day) we basically have an always on system. I have learned that fiddling around with the main mediacenter can cause longer periods of unavailability of our mediacenter. (There are times when I have to work for example) That causes a lot of complaints :) At this time I have arranged for some backups, but they don't work as nice as any mediacenter system! I have installed MP and have been able to play some music, browse through some pictures. But to be quite honest: it wasn't as intuitive as what I am used to using WMC. I know that getting to know a new system takes some time. For the time being I will take your first advice: on my Windows 8.1 machines I will continue to use WMC and see what happens with Windows 10. Perhaps in the long run if I have some time left (as if :)) I can build myself some apps that do specifically that what I look for in WMC. [/QUOTE]
