How to mute only MP and not the whole system?

Primal · 2006-09-16, 15:49

Hi,

I downloaded MP to replace PowerCinema and have the same issue I had before:

How can I mute MP (for instance while it is recording) and watch a DivX at the same time (with sound of course)? There are some programs I don't really watch and just record and at the same time I would like to watch other stuff or listen to music. In PowerCinema the program always muted the whole system and not only the application... Now I see MP appearently does the same

Are there really only the options to mute the master and wave-volume? Or is there a way around?
Thanks for any help, the program rocks anyway

Currently there is no workaround for this, sorry.

I don't really understand the issue. If you are recording something and not watching it, you can just play music and movies in MediaPortal and it will record in the background. Perhaps I don't understand your issue.

I'm just as confused as jawbroken... can't you just turn the "tv" off (it will still record in the background)?

Make it three people not understanding your post (me, not even mPod's reply

)...

You can record, but have TV "off" and watch whatever video you want (with audio) while it records.

Mpods post is aiming to the fact that it's not possible yet to only mute MP rather than muting the whole systems audio output respectivly the wave output

smnnekho always succeeds in reading my mind. It's getting a bit spooky now, I must admit.

Wait til Vista comes along....you can do application level volume control, i.e. set volume levels for each individual application.

By then the MP team should've worked out how to interface with that

(and when some dev adds better menu handling, multiple calls to modules and plugins with different options and much better dbase handling, it will be love... ah and a nice 3D front end and inter-module messaging system and...) Don't argue with the founder of Greek Off-Topic Community about taking a thread off-topic. I cannot help it! My webshots album (contains the old version of my HTPC setup too)
