Post problems you have when using MediaPortal,
or pre installation questions in here.
Testing channels hammers things a bit more than normal usage. It is more likely to expose a problem.
There has been one report of a user having stability issues, and this was tracked down to a BIOS setting to optimise performance (which warned of possible stability issues). Have you overclocked or anything like that? Could be a...

Hi Rob
Shares view shows you the files as they are on your HDD. The other views show videos that have been added to the video database. The advantage of using the video database is that you can add ****-data (DVD covers, "fan art", blurbs, actor info etc.), which can really take your HTPC looks to the next level.

Hi ratata,
For correction of aspect ratio I use the IFC plugin. It is Intelligent Frame Correction and automatically sorts the aspect ratio for your screen during playback of TV or videos. You can install it via the MPEI (MediaPortal Extension Installer) that should have installed on your desktop. This lists the plugins you have on...

You have to try the default TV-server from mediaportal first.. But when you have problems with it, like stability and strange messanges etc.. you can try 4TR. For me is 4TR absolutly stable and TV-server...

Even if there is, the problem could be in hardware drivers that we have no control over.
At the end of the day, the setting warns you that it might make your system unstable. Apparently it did :P I don't think there is anything that we need to fix.

Setting up 4TR on the cliënt side is fairly easy, the skin is ready.
Just install 4TR (cliënt only) and go to the plugin settings of MP and open 4TR, fill in the appropriate address (localhost) and you're ready to go.
On the 4TR page in the download section you can find a good document which describe how to set-up the server in...

I've been a Mediaportal users for several years now and I've seen it grow from an unstable "geeky" product, to a fantastic (the best?) media center solution.
So when I moved a year ago I decided I wanted a multiseat set-up, two dedicated cliënts (bed- & living room) and a separate (virtualized) TV-Server.
While this setup is...

Ah, ok, I didn't have a clue that it is a skin related topic.
As you can see I am a complete newbie.
If I got you right, everything that has to do with appearance has to be adjusted in the skin properties.
Thank you very much for this conclusion, I will follow your advice.

Actually, it is only SD which flickers, not HD, which makes it all a bit mysterious - I would have expected HD to cause issues. The codecs for HD and SD are the same (FFDshow), but I will try some others to see if I can improve the image (completely new clean install on my Media PC over Xmas).
Good idea on...
