[QUOTE="WileECoyote, post: 847281, member: 83474"] I really wish you hadn't posted about the new version ;) I spent most of the weekend playing with it and have it set up in my prod environment. I have played with XBMC before, and only switched back to MP because the Live TV was not mature enough. Here is my experience from the Beta 3 'Eden' version... The Good [LIST] [*]The GUI to me is MUCH faster than MP (Especially startup) [*]I LOVE the Confluence skin... [*]Shared database for Movies, Music & TV Series [*]Setup is slick, like hafblade said everything is done through the GIU [*]MP integration from ForTheRecord is great. I have live tv set up and it works great. [*]Movie & TV Series integration is fantastic (this has always been the case though) [*]Weather works ;) [*]I have programmed my MCE remote with the help of IRSS to do almost everthing the exact same as MP [/LIST] The Bad [LIST] [*]You can only record current shows. To record anything else you have to go to the ForTheRecord web interface (which is okay with me.) [*]You can set up series recordings, but only through the web interface (or the ForTheRecord managment tools) [*]No HD Audio (DTS-HD & True-HD) [*]Recording, TV Series & Movies don't automatically update. You have to restart XBMC to refresh. (Im sure theres a way to do this, just havent figured it out yet.) [*]Setting up ForTheRecord for the first time is a real pain. I had to read many forums to get where I am now. [/LIST] The Ugly [LIST] [*]Occasional crashes when I close XBMC. Luckily, nothing is lost (so far). [/LIST] Overall I am very impressed with this version of XBMC. Although Live TV is not included in Eden, Magro is doing a great job posting the latest builds with Live TV included. Wile E. [/QUOTE]
