[QUOTE="gorman, post: 51061, member: 20247"] Well, while not as technical as Gamester17, I can say things such as: - Milkdrop visualizer support out of the box with XBMC with no need to do anything nor download winamp - Ability to add delay to subtitles and to add "conuter-delay", I don't know how to define it. I mean, .srt can both be late and early. - Generally speaking, XBMC looks like a far more hassle-free out-of-the-box experience. I installed MP on my desktop PC, with a 4:3 monitor and using a 4:3 skin and... still words don't fit in their allocated spaces... it feels less "complete". Considering Meedio's demise, I would really love for Team XBMC and Team MediaPortal to join forces and create something for PC with the best of both worlds. Obviously on a PC one has the choice of deeper and deeper customization, that is *good*. On the other hand, I don't see anything wrong in offering what XBMC offers with not a single input from the end user.
