Post problems you have when using MediaPortal, or pre installation questions in here.
i believe it's the audio over hdmi thing, something wrong with the drivers. i have the same problem (nvidia too), first 2-3 seconds there's no sound on anything. the thing is that these up/down clicks are short, shorter than 2 secs. try pressing the down key a bunch of times (or hold it) in menu and you'll see that the clicks are...

I don't normally use Windows Firewall but want to keep this machine I'm building as clutter free as possible, so thought I'd give it a go. I had it disabled when installing MP so it didn't autocreate any rules. I've now created a rule for each of Incoming and Outgoing set to Allow, All Profiles, Any Program, Any Protocol, Any Port...

On my Vista PC I have a HDMI audio output which I've configured MP to use for videos and music. I'd like to have the interface sounds (and presumably sounds from plugins) come out on the HDMI also but without changing the windows default from the speaker setup. I've googled this but cannot see anyway of doing this. Any ideas...

Hello! I don't know if this is possible at the moment because I don't use it myself. But MyVideos will be completely rewritten and most likely be part of MP 1.3. The thread you will find here and I'm sure if you ask your question in this thread the right persons will see it and answer. =) ->...

MP1 MP2 No recorded tv thumbnails being made (1 Viewer) DE
What else you can try is: Go to http://moviethumbnail.sourceforge.net/ and download the MTN from there. LINK to download! Now put all .dll files + mtn.exe from the .rar file (with folders src & doc do nothing) to Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbnails and replace the existing files there. Also make sure you have ticked...

Hey Ray! I think you should, it would be a useful guide. A pal of mine is paying about £90/month for Sky HD+ and multiroom. Over a grand a year for the same as MP can do for free (OK, doesn't have all the HD channels but that's not a deal breaker) For over a grand, you can buy and build all the kit for a good, main HTPC and 2 mini...

The unable to play stream is a very generic message that can have any of a million different reasons. So benoit77, it would be best to log a Support thread along with your info (System specs) and some logs as per link in my footer. It is impossible to help without the needed info.

Thank you everyone for the help! I did change the RecordedTV drive, but that wasn't the problem. Ended up doing a complete uninstall/reinstall, and very happy to report that it's working now. Everything in my config is the same as it was before, so not exactly sure what the problem was, but glad that it's fixed now. Thanks again...

jayuk20 Some codecs will allow you to do this, but generally in software mode only, so you are better off adjusting the graphics card video section playback, see picture for idea of what to look for.

With a totally fresh install of Windows 7 x64 and the updates needed I then installed MP fresh and just used the basic skin but with the TV series and Moving Pictures plugins applied.

It seems that you have serious problem with .NET Framework 2.0 - 3.5. If other applications are running weel, I recommend reinstalling .NET Framework. In another case it can be hardware problem.

Ok, I uninstalled, and reinstalled a couple times. You have to have the sort by channel number box checked prior to import, so my channels are in order. In the MySQL db each channel is assigned a number and a sort order, I have the sort order fixed, so now when I am viewing the guide and I enter 300 it goes to channel 466, because...

Q is good, implementation is complicated as you know that drives/folders needs to be predefined to be accessible in plugins (Video, Music, Pictures) and drives/folders handling are deep in the MP core. One thing that came on my mind is that USB drives can be handled similar as DVD's but not as auto played, instead they can be...
