[QUOTE="Slack, post: 51183, member: 11211"] Well said. I knew I was in for more 'tweaking' than I was used to compared to XBMC. And that is why my HTPC is really a side project while the family continues to use XBMC and ReplayTVs on a daily basis. I was drawn to media portal on the strength of XBMC. The first task I set for my self was to verify that media portal could play all the stuff on my NAS in the same fashion that xbmc does. And well, I'm still trying to suss that out. And in the process have learned more about filters, graphedit, directshow, and such than I ever thought I would need to. Granted, those aren't really media portal's issues. But MP's internal player using WMP (as I understand it) kinda necessitated my investigating external players to play ripped VOBs with stream switching on the fly.
