[QUOTE="chili, post: 60767, member: 10406"] The first is that none of the offered skins offer decent quality at high resolutions, namely 2560x1600. They appear stretched and off-centered... even the widescreen versions. [b]Have you attempted any screen calibration from within MP?[/b] Some other issues that I encountered were in the "My Pictures" screen. I have it setup to change pictures every 3 seconds in the slide show, and it takes about 8-12 seconds. Also, there is no way to advance to the next/previous picture while in the slide show. is that correct? Some other issues that I'm having are more common i think (from reading the forums a bit) Channel changing ~ 4-9 seconds Random Freezing (Rare) MP setup loading time Slow screen changes [b]Some of these issues could be from how you are set up for graphics... such as are you using overlay mode, or are you using vmr9, full screen exclusive, etc...[/b] I think overall MP is a great full-featured app, but with an XPS honestly i was expecting it to be equivalent (if not faster) than XBMC was on my $150 xbox. Sadly that's not the case. I was initially thrilled at the long list of features, but they just arent practical at 5-6 second delays ya know? Are any speed improvements planned? If so, I would definitely hold out for the next release. [b]I have about half the system that you do and have no speed issues whatsoever.[/b] [/QUOTE]
