Tvclient in VMware

MediaPortal Version: 0.2.2.0 + latest SVN
MediaPortal Skin: BlueTwo

Hi,

I've installed the TVserver and want my laptop to stream the TV signal in VMware. My setup works fine, but when I open my MP in VMware the MP GUI just flickers.
I've enabled 3D and increased the video memory of the VMware machine to 128MB, still not working.

Anyone have a workaround this issue?

Thanks a lot.

VMware doesn't offer DirectX 9 acceleration, that's what you're experiencing now.

That's a shame :-(

Thanks for your reply..
