I have tried boxee, pivos with xbmc, mede8er and each have their problems.
I am looking for help, which media player out there has the best features and best streaming and picture quality.
Don't say Roku3 as there is a lot of problems like file associations and limited feature sets.

I want something that can have a great video wall, and just find all proper artwork and info...for TV and movies.

Have also tried mediaportal, but hate having to have all media in separate folders and each with their own .info.txt file.

Someone here must have the perfect setup.

So far the best has been Boxee but there is no longer support for it as it has been discontinued.



Thanks
 
What problems are you experiencing? I have been using XBMC for ages and can't fine anything wrong with it.

I use the WD Live & am a happy punter. But if you want artwork etc. probably best build a HTPC with XBMC / PLEX or one of the others ...
 
The BEST would be a PC running Plex or similar.

The best at a reasonable price would be a decent Smart Blu-ray player.
 
Plex media server is pretty good especially if your TV supports it. If not then WD TV or apple TV are good options
 
I use a tiny PC with Media Portal w/ Moving Pictures and MP-TV series; sorts everything nicely and it's highly customizable.
