Afkpuz,
I understand your pain. I completely agree that DVD media play back should work correctly --period! A media center edition that cannot play media correctly is like buying a car that cannot roll.
However, I have not had the same problem with lockups. I have 2 boxes with different hardware that run all day without locking up at all. I used the DVD install in both cases.
I have yet to try surround sound and Myth TV to comment on them
LMCE been a major frustration for me since I found LMCE while searching for a DVD media server solution. I was absolutely flabergasted when I found out it also did home automation (another project of mine for years that provided nothing but frustration). It was a Zen moment for me and I have been excited ever since. But, alas, frustration is still dogging me (but not as much as before).
But...
In the short time I have been playing with LMCE (a few months), I have seen significant improvements with some issues I had from 7.04. This gives me hope that in the near future LMCE will get to the point of giving us everything for $nothing. I will not give up on it like I gave up on my $200 Homeseer software that I could only get to open my garage door from a web interface!
So, hang in there. There is an automated light at the end of the tunnel! (dumb, I know).
