I currently use WMC7 with TMT and have been thinking of moving to XBMC. Before I do that I do have a few questions. I've gone through the threads but still not quite clear on the following questions. I'm hoping someone can provide some assistance.

Hardware in my HTPC is an I3-530 CPU and a H55 Gigabyte MB with integrated video. I output via HDMI to my receiver. I only use my system for watching movies and tv shows...and checking the weather.

What I'd like to know is with XBMC can I use TMT as the external player for movies and using TMT bitstream/lpcm HD Audio to my receiver?

Is the launching of TMT seamless with XBMC as it is with MCE or are there issues with this? I've read a thread where there seems to be some issues but I'm not sure if this is just one or two people having problems or a general problem with XBMC and TMT?

Grouping of Movies. When importing movies is it possible to group movies? For ex, One title called James Bond Films, then when I select that I get a listing of all the James Bond Films in my library.

TV Shows. Similiar to above. I believe it is possible but just want to confirm. Go to TV Shows, getting a listing, select a TV show ex Lost, then next screen displays all seasons, then all episodes withing that season?

Thanks in advance

Yikes! I went through those threads and it seems a lhell of a lot of work to get TMT to play as an external player. I din't realize it was that difficult.

Definitely like the skin! But I'm not sure I'm willing to go through all the work needed to get an external player to work. With WMC7 and My Movies it was a click here and there...

DsPlayer might work for you, but XBMC is hands down the best out there by far. I'd do what ever I had to do to make it work for me
