Hello,
When i saw this thread, i said "man, this time, you have to say what you have inside". So sorry, this is my first post but just be sure that I read this forum for a while.
I'm a XBMC user for many time, since its first port on Windows. Years after years, XBMC UI has become a reference about usability, beauty, WAF ... Xbmc is a really good product but the road they choosed is not the road that some people want them to take : focusing on image quality ! One proof is that the most popular thread of Xbmc windows forum is talking about integrating external player.
Guys, when I see JRiver's specs for the first time, it was like a dream : quality of picture similar to mp-hc, video libraries, theater view. When I installed JRiver, I was quite disapointed because theater view was not usable, specially when you come from XBMC.
And to be honest, I was wondering buying JRiver and when I saw that theater view in mc18 was slightly the same than mc17, it was easy to take my decision.
For me, the best improvment you can do in JRiver is to port XBMC UI and be sure that you'll gain a new community of people ! Because you have a wonderful product in your hands !!
Hope that it helps
Regards
