Introduction
This paper presents a Comparison Chart reflecting the State of the Art for the most prominent Media Center (MC) projects in the FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) community at the time of this writing. This document is not aimed to “pick a winner”, nor to promote any of the compared MCs. It also shouldn't be considered the “ultimate truth” about the Media Centers showcased here. Please do your own research before picking your choice. The goal here is simply to share knowledge about the current State of the Art done by the community on FLOSS MC projects, and to provide project leaders and developers with enough feedback on which features to focus on next in opposition to other projects, in an effort to discover new synergies with other existing FLOSS projects. Before starting a public survey, we divided projects into two main categories: FLOSS Media Center Projects (with or without PVR features) and FLOSS All-in-one solutions (custom GNU/Linux Media Center distributions). We'll be focusing and detailing the first category of Media Centers here.
