MediaPortal 1.5.0

MediaPortal 是一套開源的媒體中心軟體，主要解決把電腦接上大電視後，能像智慧電視一樣使用。它的特色在於整合了電視與廣播的收看和錄製，也能播放影片、音樂，甚至自動從 IMDB 下載電影封面與資訊。這套軟體持續更新，在同類工具中算是熱門選擇，評價普遍不錯，但由於功能較為進階，適合願意花時間設定的使用者。

這套軟體適合想打造個人化家庭娛樂中心的人，尤其是喜歡看電視、錄影或管理大量媒體檔案的使用者。與 KMPlayer 或 K-Lite Codec Pack 等播放器相比，MediaPortal 更偏向完整的媒體中心，功能更全面，但相對設定較複雜。它是開源軟體，免費使用，但僅支援 Windows，且介面目前只有英文，使用前需要留意語系上的限制。
