[QUOTE="rusten, post: 57971, member: 10303"] I'm not entirely sure the gist of my email got across, based on your reply. No one is disputing that MP can do *much* more than XBMC, and certainly I've already mentioned in my email that MP is based on a solution that offers much, much more power and potential -- codecs above all. But the text of your email doesn't go to the point I mention... There *ARE INDEED* things that XBMC can do that MP does NOT, and as you pointed out, MP is "new" and therefore should be able to accomplish these same things. In essense, you've agreed with me, which is to say that we both acknowledge the tremendous potential existing in MP, including its versatility and potential, which is all the more reason that MP should be able to do *everything* XBMC does. [b]So, in short, wouldn't it be great if MP could add the few simple things that XBMC offers, which MP does not -- to get the best of both worlds?[/b] Absolutely NO ONE is slamming MP here. I absolutely love the product. It seems, however, that much like an Apple zealot becomes defensive and turns the conversation into an argument rather than objective proposal, so to do people like the above poster ... at any suggestion of adding an XBMC feature to MP, and it baffles me. If MP was the weaker solution, I could appreciate the notion, but this is not the case. [/QUOTE]
