I put up some screen shot of where I am at.

I am storing the DVD Movies on an External Hard Drive.

I can access the movies from the external hard drive and play them on the laptop with Window Media Player 11.

I can also connect the S-Video cable from the laptop to the TV set and play the movies from the External Hard Drive to the TV set using the laptop .

It seems from the pictures that these three softwares AMC / MyFilms / MediaPortal recognize each other.
But MediaPortal when I click or double click on the movie won't play it on the laptop or the tv.
I have gone over the MP manual about 4 times with mp running and trying to configure it as I go through the manual side by side. But I must be missing on how to get 3 to completely work together.

Any Ideas on what to do?
