The folks behind open source media center application Media Portal are preparing to launch the first public alpha of Media Portal II.The goal is to make the application more open and customizable. In other words, it will be easier for developers to design plugins and it should be simpler for end users to download and install skins, plugins, and other add-ons. The basic system will be pretty minimal, with most of the functionality provided through those add-ons.
Another goal is to add an auto-update feature that will make it easier to keep your system up to date.
Because Media Portal II is still in its infancy, the team will continue to support the original Media Portal application for now.
