No, true, which is why it'll be good if the devs can get this implemented sooner rather than later.
I have to admit based around the title of this thread I was responding more with a focus on windows based application rather than Linux/alternative branches.
I've never really got on as well with the non-windows variants, as I've come across more than a few files that just didn't play as nicely with the Linux variants, although I like the idea of running a light application install, as there's only so light you can get a windows install.
As to whether I've been on UTWs site
My last post wasn't really fully aimed at you, and no argument or offence intended, only my own thoughts on the transition, and the comment which mentioned you could only reencode to retain the usual GUI whixh isn't 100% true on windows as you can use a Dsplayer build which'll give you the flexibility and at least is an option for windows users until the devs update dvdplayer to utilise a new version of mplayer with Hi10 support. Even though I'm not using it as the primary player I'd still like it incorporated for redundancy.
It'd be a shame if people resorted to other less complete solutions to allow playback when there might be other decent ways to do it without losing functionality or form as XBMC is nice to use overall
