[QUOTE="rusten, post: 57632, member: 10303"] I am an avid user of *both* solutions, XBMC and MP. While not mentioned here, I think the future of plug-ins within MP will be a defining factor and hold a lot of potential. On the XBMC side, I far prefer XBMC on my endpoints. It's significantly more solid -- and keep in mind I say that as a proponent and frequent user of both. I'm not saying anything bad about MP whatsoever; however, XBMC's integrated ISO support is excellent; their new mutl-directory aggregation is absolutely critical to an avid media center user. Granted, MP has some nice flashy features and lots of potential -- but for straight-up DVD libraries that run quick and solid, XBMC is just so nice. MP certainly has the potential to outdue XBMC (that goes without saying considering the OS it can leverage, and therefore being able to use .net and all the related tools); however, I think one of the major points of contention is that Mario, as seen here, gets very defensive at the idea that XBMC could do anything right. I don't really understand that, because he's the main man, a genius, and former author on the XBMC project, if I'm not mistaken. I'll never know.. How it could be that someone so smart could be so quick to dismiss the perspective of those that appreciate and request XBMC features in MP, I just don't understand. Please, Mario, if you reed, this, consider some of the features in XBMC rather than dismissing the app simply because MP has a significantly larger code-base and development effort. Thank you!
