MP1 MP2 DVB/MPEG4 support DE
try videolan client. It looks great but with a few errors and the last part hangs (the woman in the library) probably a performance issue. mplayer should do it as well but it crashed on my PC. Regarding the performance: I tested it with an Athlon64@2.41GHz (3800+) Michael

OK cheers Dman. I'll check it out tonight then. I read elsewhere on the forum that people had problems so perhaps there was something bogus happening on Tuesday night. Cheers, Marc

I wondered if you could implement ability to parse AC3 data packets from an SPDIF sound card input. (Obviously for a card that can pass SPDIF data ie. Audigy2 with Kx Drivers, or Audiotrak Prodigy 192) I have tested sound only with GraphEdit and ffdshow Audio decoder set to AC3 output (640kbps) and when receiving an AC3 SPDIF...

I know, you allready told me. But that's too much of a procedure as i allready replied to you (YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE ANOTHER EASY POST). What i would like is a button to add more minutes to the sleep timer each time it is pushed. Example: 1 press: 10min 2 press: 20min 3 press: 30min 4 press: 0min Something like that would...

MP1 MP2 Lose Vendor Folder DE
I have to admit, i do sometimes have a tiny bit of trouble navigating to Media Portal because I forget to look under "T" but I just made a shortcut to solve this. I actually like having an initial folder as that is where I put all the secondary things that aren't core parts of MP, but I use them with it. For example, the web...

Thanks your reply. I'm not a programmer so I can't add the string by risk. Heard that the chinese version MCE will release at late September. Hope MP will add unicode in near future.

MP1 MP2 Timeshifting idea (1 Viewer) DE
Hi, I had a look at the code and my idea doesn't seem trhat feasable anymore. Mp builds to different graph depending if TS is on or off which means that you can't simultaneously either read from memory or read from file. So short of building a class that implement this the only way to achieve faster switching is to make write/read...

But when i search for a program in the database, and for example you get the overview when "The Simpsons" is found in the tvguide, i don't have the function 'Notify me', i do have all the other recording functions. Would it be possible to also add this function so you will...

Oh...really? That's great. I haven't been able to test the later CVS cause my Nova-T isn't found (MP says "This card doesn't support Autotuning" and I can't timeshift cause MP think it's a S/W card) I'll wait until the next release. /Moltas

I have experimented with HIP, but I had poblems configuring HIP to make MP return to the start screen when pressing the PC power button :? So for now I'm using the standard setup in MP, and have programmed the MCE2005 remote to turn off my TV. Best of all: You can find only one rc in my livingroom :D But there are downsides...

The best way to do this is to simply use Power Scheduler, which is built in to the system. When you schedule the recording then leave the system at the "home" screen. After the recording has finished MP will shut down/Hibernate or whatever you specify. It can then turn on again to make the next recording (unless you choose shut...

Today, mediaportal can connect to a FTP folder and cache the file there. This works pretty good, except for the following: - Must confirm download - Must wait until file is finished downloading - Cannot "auto-download" files (must create script yourself). Today I use "Offline files" (CSC) in Windows for this. I have all my...

MP1 MP2 Minimise to tray DE
That minimize button would be more than nice to have on this great program. Agree with midiboy, forbes, and probably lot of us. For MrMario64 I cannot see why this little option could make any problem for those who use MP full screen 24/7. Thanks,

When you switch view in My Music, MP ignores any folder.jpg for albums except for the tracks themselves. I have my view set to artists, and I'd expect the artists folders to be default, but inside the albums should use folder.jpg, just as normal folders do when you aren't using custom views. Nothing major though. Can't wait for...

This same behaviour happens in the video selection list. I agree, it is counterintuitive. Is it intended, or a bug? If you're in a folder & click on the folder up button, the screen you are brought to still has that folder in view (& highlighted), whereas if you press ESC you go back to the start of the list - I personally would...

In zoomplayer there exists a very nice feature to assign a time skip funtion to the mouse scroll wheel. One can assign 5 sec skip or a larger value (don't remember the exact value now).
