[QUOTE="xemumanic, post: 57917, member: 19105"] I too used Xbox Media Player, and didnt switch to XBMC until MKV/OGM audio switching came to it. The same happened with MediaPortal. Now I really dont find a need for XBMC, it doesnt do any thing I can't do with MP. In fact, it does more, PVR alone proves this. I think the thing that many people fail to realize is just what sort of potential is yet to be realized by MP. XBMC on the other hand, is as good as its going to get in most ways (although the MC360 proves there'ss still more that can be done), while MP can still improve, as mentioned many times in this thread. Each of these programs have their strengths and weaknesses. MP owes its heritage, some of its codebase, to XBMC. XBMC has an ease of use, and its easy to fully take advantage of its abilities right off the bat. MP doesn't make it as easy, but once properly setup, there isnt a format MP can't play (XBMC is slowly starting to lose in this manner). With HD/.TS/H.264 formats coming more and more popular, XBMC will be left behind. I think that both have their place, and in fact, for both to truly succeed, they need each other. I'd love to see XBMC become a 'Extender' type of application for MediaPortal, allowing a user with an Xbox to watch Live TV from a MP server. In fact, without some sort of PC/server, XBMC can never become a viable TV watching device. [/QUOTE]
