Need good media center software

[Kaze_no_Hime]

Hi guys, yesterday I was trying XBMC to see how it works and how exactly is handle with video materials, because I wany to make HTPC. Well that software was really good and with easy and beautiful menu. But the only problem is that integrated video player in XBMC can't play linked files. As for example the main movie, opening and ending are all separated from each other, but when the main movie is played itself it plays opening and ending with it too(If they're in the same folder ofcourse).
And here comes my question. Can someone suggest me a media center software with video player that can play linked files, or there's no such a thing at the momment :(

Are you sure XBMC doesn't do it? Seems strange, but I haven't used it myself.

I've got mediaportal installed and that does it. You do need to ensure the file names are consistent though - for example:
movie.cd1.ext
movie.cd2.ext
and it will pick that up fine and play it back.

There is a slight pause (like a layer change!) on switching the file during playback.

Other large projects are MediaPortal and MeediOS.

If they are named correctly, you just activate the "stack" options and movieblahblah1.avi + movieblablah2.avi are presented to you from the interface as movieblahblah, single entry.
