Post problems you have when using MediaPortal, or pre installation questions in here.
I have nearly 150 GB of audio (almost 30k cuts, 3k albums). The Media Portal concept is very attractive and flexible, but the sorts (by tags) are just too slow to be useful. What can I do to speed them up? TV-Server Version: MediaPortal Version: 0.2.2.0 MediaPortal Skin: BlueTwo wide Windows Version: XP MCE RU2 CPU Type: Intel...

I puchased a Medion computer (ALDI) version, running Windows Vista Home Premium that came in shipped with an X10 remote. I installed MP on the machine (sure beats the MCE that was included in the Vista system) but one of the problems I had, which was also visible from other users using this remote was that it would either not work, or...

If you want to speed up your booting time then maybe you should try disabling un-needed services. But it's a bit of a trial and error process until you finally settle a compromise between stability & speed. The end results may be disappointing mind you.

OK, so I just set up a Mac Mini running MP for my second HTPC. Now I am dealing with an external tuner. I couldn't find any external cards that had an IR blaster and a remote (I really wanted a Hauppauge remote since it would then work the same as the one downstairs). So I went with the WinTV USB2 (model 1020). It has the...

What refresh rate are you running your video card at? The reason I ask is that you'll need to set your refresh rate to a multiple of 25 to get smooth horizontal panning -- however -- some tv's won't accept anything but 60 hz via vga (my parent's acer tv, for instance. even if you override the vga refresh rate the tv itself resamples...

MP1 MP2 ShortCut DE
You shouldn't need "My Keys" for that. Run the Configuration.exe and look under "General". There is an item called "Keyboard shortcuts" or "Keys" or something that lists all the keyboard shortcuts. "h" should put you back at the main menu or pressing "Escape" a few times Good luck, Nick Name

The problem ended up being the CATV cable being plugged into the back of the TV. To make a long and complicated story short - CATV usually uses a floating ground and the TV and PC uses a solid ground. Having the two different grounds plugged into the TV creates a ground loop - thus creating "Video Hum" - which are the slow moving...

I have a Kworld card as well, and the same thing happens me. Though, I also live in an area with poor reception strength, and the same thing happens me. I also have a Freecom USB stick too, and it does exactly the same thing. So, Im guessing its the reception strength.

I think you would find those services either in Scheduled Tasks, or under the Services bit in Administrative Tools. Not sure, as I haven't had time to load Vista yet. I would try disabling startup items first, because they're easier to disable. Sam

Yes, MediaPortal uses the desktop resolution. However, you can change the aspect ratio in one of the setup screens when MP is running. I can't remember the exact location of the options as i'm not at home to check. You can also deal with over scan and placement of OSD overlays.

Replacing the VIA USB drivers with Microsoft's generic drivers did help, in the sense that I had fewer crashes and the fault was no longer pointing to the USB part of the card (usbehci.sys). But, I did still have crashes at least every 24 hours pointing to the Hauppauge driver (hcw99bda.sys). Over time I have used various Hauppauge...

After fiddling around for a few hours I got it to work. Apparently MP did not use ffdshow so I reinstalled i once again. This time during setup I chose "no limits" for video decoder and .exe I don't know if that was the trick, but it all works now.

MP1 MP2 Radio Guide? DE
I'm watching TV over the internet (stream) via 'Radio' in MP 0.2.2 and it works great. I noticed that there is a 'Radio Guide' and I wondering what format does it supports?

One of the problems that can occur if installing a second card after MP is configured, is the problem you have described.

We currently dont have the DVB-T service in my area so i dont use it. but i dont think it's possible to have both running at the same time since in the configuration you can only add 1 of the 2 cards not both. the only 2 you can have running together is the Analog TV and either DVB-S or DVB-T. That's where i got my conclusion from...

for more info on these type of issues, you can check the logs in the team mediaportal\mediaportal\logs directory. That will give more detail on the very last thing MP did before freezing.
