The reviews I read tell of a different software than I installed. Lots of bugs, lots of errors. Not very smart programing at all.
The music selection is poor. I have a directory of ogg files, which the program scanned in, read the id3 tags, and added to it's database. Which is another problem with this program, the database just isn't there, it's more of a directory listing. When you attempt to play an ogg file, it passes it off as an mp3 file to Windows media player. WMP errors out and doesn't play the file.
Movie selection shows a default icon without a video preview.
It has potential, but Media Portal needs a database and catalog program. In it's current state, it is nothing more than using windows explorer with a background. Not an HTPC app in it's current state.
To be honest Google's Picasa or ACDSee is a better HTPC app than this program. |
