Jamu is really impressive, and tmdb is not bad at all. I was able to update all my video collection very easily. However, mythtv seems to be trying to move to its internal player, which is not as good as some very well stablished players such as mplayer, vlc and xine (and probably it will never be). First it stutters when playing some video formats (e.g., wmv), and second the subtiltes are the way they used to be 10 years ago: they appear onto the movie, not in the letter box; they have to have the same name of the movie; the size of the text is fixed and very small. Also, the concept of Storage Group is good, but if one has several backends running with their own video groups, the result is kind of messy, specially when there are duplicate movies on some of then, or when the name of the groups are the same on the backends, which should not have any influence. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
