Though they are great at what they do, Launchbox can play archived files [temporarily extract] which those don't, and with an extensive enough library, every byte counts. Plus I agree with OP, where having one media launch platform is much more convenient and streamlined, vs multiple programs to access on a media computer. I would love something that pulled from IMDB and/or TheTVDB, even if you had to direct it to the page ie:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120623/ [A Bug's Life], or just the page key ie:tt0120623
I'm certainly hoping for someone to pick up the project again too!
