[QUOTE="AlexanderIanHall, post: 884693, member: 111305"] Well, another week later and I've found I've stopped using XBMC. Live television aside (which I don't use) then I think they are much of a muchness, however if you've earned your wings on MediaPortal then I think switching to XBMC takes a bit of effort (and vice versa). The biggest headache with migrating to any new MediaCenter software is the initial configuration and importing of your media. This is where I find MePo (with Streamed MP/MyTVSeries/Moving Pictures) excels and I very much like the separate windows configuration application. With MovingPictures/MyTVSeries it is easy to see what series/movies have matched correctly, which haven't and to then manually update. In XBMC (and MePo 2 Alpha/Summer builds) it is more challenging to see what has not imported correctly. I am now using MePo 1.2.3 and 1.3 alpha on my 2 HTPCs on a daily basis without any issues. I am also doing some testing on MePo 2 although there remains more work to do before I could consider this an every day usage version (1.3 alpha I believe is an every day usage version). My recommendation to the MePo team is to bundle StreamedMP/MyTVSeries/Moving Pictures into the default install of MePo 1.3 as it makes it much more user friendly and will help increase the number of new users (particularly now LAV if included). I appreciate there are many other plugins/skins as well however think that this package is great to help get beginners going. When I first installed MePo 1.3 alpha and was back to the default skin, and no Moving Pictures/TV Series it was a culture shock! Just my thoughts. In summary I believe they all can do the job, however I personally still prefer MePo 1.x. In testing I have found 1.3 alpha very stable and usable as an every day MediaCenter software suite.
