Did a search and came up with nothing so forgive me if this has been covered already.

Holy crap! This is THE top contender for a complete media center app!

I just checked out the program. Definitely promising. GUI responsiveness could use a little work. But I do like what I see so far.

I don't like it. There's no preferences. The weird ffmpeg player download thing is completely unintelligible (and it doesn't seem to work on movies QT won't play like currently ac3-in-avi). The transport stream support is unusable (on hi def streams). And you have to wait for that gay fade in logo on every app launch. Needs work.

Cool program, but even if I don't set it to start up at login, it runs a little background app. On top of that, it always tries to phone home at login to the company's servers. I have auto-update turned off, too. Not cool. I'm thinking of uninstalling it just for that.

Did not know that about the app. It really needs some work. Come on CenterStage.
