MeediOS: A promising HTPC frontend.

<< < (4/4)

MrCrispy:
The media player used in XBMC is based off the same code ffmpeg (and thus ffdshow, Kmplayer etc) uses so the performance is pretty similar. As you found out, the builtin player has a great UI and all the features, there's really no need for an external player. There is also a project to use any DirectShow player in XBMC (dsplayer) if you really must use external codecs/players.

Are you using the Dharma build? Its still in beta but is stable and lots of new features compared to the released 9.11. Once you install Dharma (http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/win32/), go into the Addons section and get the Night skin. Its just amazing. And look at the plugins/skins on forum.xbmc.org, there is lots of good stuff there.

(sorry, I get excited when I talk about XBMC. I wasted a lot of time with other frontend's before I discovered it)

No need to apologize, this is very useful information.  You are saving me TONS of legwork by guiding me to XBMC.  That's what I come here for, to hear about your experiences with similar issues.
