Hi all,
Just want some info about this GBPVR or NPVR.
Right here we go had a look at mediacenter in windows 7 ,good but need a client/server type setup and looked at mediaportal also and GBPVR and NPVR (reson i choose these three is live tv is must) mediaportal on paper looks like a winner cos it has movie plugins and a tv series plugin like xbmc,but cant find anythink like a movie plugin and a tv series plugin where they both get meta data from IMDB,the movieDB,the TVDB site's so thats why if anyone can give me info on that please cos at mo im ready to install any of these htpc front ends or mediacenters software .

many thanks

No need to reply heard from other forums that this mediacenter GBPVR and NPVR has no plugins for tv series to make it polished .so to all that's view many thanks im of to use mediaportal.wish all the best for this product and hopeful one day it will have plugins as great has xbmc and mediaportal.

Well I can only wish you good luck with Mediaportal, and welcome back (hopefully) before you have torn out all hair on your head

NPVR is certainly not XBMC but don't trust other forums, comments often are made by people who haven't even bothered to try. NPVR is more than capable of displaying art and metadata for TV series and movies. I have an addon utility imageGrabLite that automatically grabs this from TheTVDB, TVRage, and themoviedb.org and I have a plugin that lets you get these manually.

I have asked for a couple of other things to improve the image(banners and fanart) since while I am on the sites I figured I could grab these two but sub hasn't responded to any of my posts on these yet.
