By the way ... MC on Windows (HTPC that Plex is abandoning) blows PMP out of sky in term of video quality ... thanks to madVR
What I like about HTPC is customization ... spend as much as you can to increase Video Quality (GPU mainly) and madVR will use any extra power to squeeze in a bit better quality (after awhile there will be point of diminishing return ... but if you're nuts about it, you can go with 2080 Titan lol) ... PMP is just generic geared towards “average” machines
