[QUOTE="drealit, post: 762165, member: 70031"] Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I was always under the impression that MePo was never supposed to be an "out of the box" product. It's meant to be massively customized by each user for their own unique scenarios. I've hated the other software I've tried if only because so much of it was already setup for me (and not easily undone or customized further for the most part). MediaPortal is supposed to give you a very basic set of features, then you're supposed to customize it to your hearts content with the plethora of Skins and Plugins. As for the comparisons to VLC; VLC is a "all in one" media player emphasizing on quantity over quality. That may work for you... but I'm not wasting the countless hours and god knows how many $ for equipment and software on shoddy codecs and less than spectacular quality playback. VLC is a joke from the Napster/KaZaA age... we're not dealing with junk real media videos anymore. We're in the age of quality! [/QUOTE]
