Im surprised you still havent configured KMP with Media Portal yet because VLC is very inefficient - although very very flexible in terms of playback capability
Sir, what do you mean by VLC as being inefficient? VLC has been my main media player in Ubuntu and I am familiar with its control settings already that's why I paired it with Media Portal. It is also customizable with different skins you can experiment with. So far I'm happy with its performance.
I'll try to download KMP and install it with your special sauce. I might like it better.
