| 625788 | 2007-12-30 08:01:00 | Does anyone know of a free application which has similar functionality, behaviour, and look-and-feel to the Vista Media Center software which is part of Vista Home Premium/Ultimate, which will work on Windows XP? I don't need the TV-tuning capability, but playback of video/audio/pictures is a must. | somebody (208) | ||
| 625789 | 2007-12-30 08:08:00 | Try MediaPortal :) Its based loosely off the XBMC code (Brilliant stuff that is) which is based off MPlayer. Free too! I use it on my Media PC, works great.. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 625790 | 2007-12-30 08:14:00 | Excellent - thanks Chill. Looks really promising - I'm going to try sticking XP on my Eee in the next few weeks, and want to try some sort of media-centre style app. | somebody (208) | ||
| 625791 | 2007-12-30 08:22:00 | MediaPortal (http://www.team-mediaportal.com/) +1 XBMC +100, heh. |

| 625792 | 2007-12-30 08:30:00 | Just had a thorough look and it's very impressive. I suppose the next natural extension to that question, is to ask whether there's a Linux equivalent which will run on the Eee's default Xandros install? | somebody (208) | ||
| 625793 | 2007-12-30 08:47:00 | There's SageTV and MythTV for linux ;) | zahmad (8963) | ||

| 625795 | 2007-12-30 11:27:00 | I use Mediaportal at home. I have a TV Server PC setup with two DVB-S cards and a PVR500MCE. This allows other PCs on the network to watch live TV, recorded TV and view the EPG to schedule recordings. Having two DVB-S cards means that every Freeview channel can be viewed at the same time. I have also tried GB-PVR but didn't find it to be as user-friendly. |
