Boxee plays these items fine, but Plex makes resyncing the audio with the video a snap. You can easily adjust the audio lead or lag time while the video is playing. If you’ve ever been watching something and really, really wished you could just easily tweak the audio to match the video, now you can, and you don’t even have to get up from the couch to do it." Can you explain exactly how you can resyncing the audio with the video?

thanks

Things that Plex can easily play cause VLC to drop frames, stutter the audio, and just generally misbehave. I’ve found that VLC doesn’t handle high definition content very well.

XBMC used mplayer for playback but they made enough changes to be considered a fork of mplayer. I'd like to see something based off of vlc/libvlc and yeah something that reads all the metadata out of my mp4s would rock. VLC recently added the support for apple's weird implementation of chapters (it looked like a subtitle file with the chapter marks) and has been reading some of the other metadata like actors, etc. I toyed with the idea of an apple tv or mac mini but eventually settled for a western digital tv media player (ui isn't as slick as apple's but it has been pretty good about playing everything I've thrown at it). semper fi...
