<div>Careful Jedi, you could easily upset quite a number of folks with comments like that... especially directed at one of the most active developers and most involved contributors to the user forums.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>While most of can agree that there are other products that handle different aspects of media playback better, or look prettier, or are 'better' in some way or another... they are different projects with different goals. IIRC it wasn't too long ago that mythvideo wasn't even an official part of mythtv, and was developed as a plugin.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>While XBMC and others only concern themselves with media playback and the GUI... mythtv focused on recording, scheduling, transcoding, and commercial flagging. A very different set of goals, so of course XBMC is better at what it does... but it can't even begin to compete with mythtv on what mythtv does.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's folks like Robert who have been trying to keep the user experience up to speed by working on audio, theming, etc. I can't blame them for sticking to a naming convention... it allows them to focus on what really matters. If you want to change it, them submit a patch and see how the community reacts. But I don't think that the devs care about your ability to do something the least bit shady... mythtv has been walking a fine line as it is with copyright laws being so messed up, they certainly don't want to get unnecessary attention by having discussions about how to best support pirated content.</div>
