Please read the first page. Openelec has issues with shutting off atm. Win 8.1 works flawlessly.
Hold on, before telling people it works flawlessly; quite simply put, it doesn't.
1) Refresh matching causes issues sometimes when loading some files, it glitches out and requires another video to load.
2) VC-1*** does NOT like hardware decoding most of the time.
3) LIP SYNCING*** Openelec has a better way to deal with the delay on 24 Hz lipsyncing. Note that it is a problem!!!
4) You still have to run windows.
BOTTOM LINE: If you don't NEED 3D (like I do) then by all means use OpenELEC, it is far less frustrating.
2) This FFMEG problem. LAV filters already work fine. MPC-HC works fine.
3) This is really a XBMC problem. Altough XBMC windows seems to be worse then XBMC linux, but i dont use XBMC linux. This is a known bug for years...

If you use other player like mpc-hc, there's no lip sync problem.
I really like XBMC a lot, but really the lip sync it's really bad compared with other players. I dont understand how this has not be fixed yet.
So it's more concerned with XBMC then Windows itself.
4) And the problem is?
