Hello!

I have troubles getting MediaPortal to work.. Everything seems to be working in MCE, but I don't want to use it

Whenever I try to use TV or DVD fullscreen, the screen turns black.

It's possible to see TV in the small window in "My TV", but the image is a bit displaced (too high up compared to the video window in the BlueTwo skin)
I had problems with starting timeshift (MP freezed), but that seems to be gone with the latest SVN.

Now I've even lost the "My DVD" option in the main menu!?

I've attached the logfiles (one from the attempt to view a DVD, and one from the attempt of viewing TV)

I had to use Alt+F4 to close Mediaportal, since the menues was gone.

Hei du!
Does this also happen with videos?

If yes:
Did you by any chance change fontsize and/or in Windows?

If no:'
What decoder have you selected fir playing DVD?

Yes, windows fonts were hard to read on the TV at resolution 1280x720

XP\Vista known issues With Mediaportal.

My DVD go to MP config\plugins find myDVD, right click and enable show in HOME

Setting larger fonts or PPT in XP caused this behavior ... not sure about Vista.
You could try using EVR (see DirectShow settings in setup) and/or try to set Windows standard for fonts and PPT.

Yes! Thank you both!

The video problem was solved by setting PPT back to 96.

And the "Play DVD" plugin was disabled.. I must have accidentaly turned it off or something.
