I've been using Media Player Classic -HC as an external player for my HTPC for a few weeks now and I love it.
Here is what is great about it.
1. Easier to ship ahead to a point in a movie using MPC-HC control bar.
2. Can use hardware acceleration + no tearing in EVR Custom Pres mode.
3. It works with PlayOn (the Upnp server) so Hulu and Netflix are A++ except no skipping around through a file,m but XBMC player didnt do that either.
4. I can get out of full screen and watch a hulu video in the corner of the desktop while browsing the web.
I do have one problem though. sometimes MPC doesnt exit right and gets stuck in memory so I can;t get back to XBMC, and sometimes XBMC locks up even if MPC exits correctly.
Anyone have a solution to this?
