MediaPortal II Infinity Technology Preview  beta

Publisher's Description:

MediaPortal turns your PC in a very advanced Multi-Media Center / HTPC. It allows you to listen to your favorite music & radio, watch your video's and DVD's, view, schedule and record live TV and much more. You get it for free and best of all it is open source.

MediaPortal II is a total re-write of the core application and plugin system. A new core framework allows all parts of the system to be easily replaced or updated, with very little effort and minimal effect to the overall system. Another major new feature is the new GUI and skin system. After trying WPF & XAML, and finding it was not possible to do many of the things we wanted. We returned to DirectX, and developed a new system from the ground up.

MediaPortal has the following other editions available: MediaPortal.

The regular MediaPortal is FANTASTIC!!! It kicks the pants off every other media-centre (including Microsoft). Unfortunately MediaPortal II Infinity is very much a work in progress and at least on my system crawls at a snails pace and lacks so much compared to its lineage. Until a lot more work is done, don't waste your time!

his is impressive GUI is very clean I know it’s just like M$ But for open source software this is absolutely fanstastic.brillant I would have expected to have to pay ££ for this What would be the ultimate is to have support for external media players...given this is a preview and not even a beta they will ahve along way to go to impress me given what they have shown what they ca do ... only snag is its resorse hungry .. But I have not knocked them for it Keep up the good work lads and let’s show how freeware/open source software can rock
