Quite simply it has changed the way we watch media in our house, we have it running in several rooms and we quite honestly couldn't live without it.
I bought a HTPC 4 years ago and MP was pre installed, after messing with it for a while i was hooked.
Family and friends who see it are always impressed with the way it looks and...

Well, despite disabling ipv6, I can still see the error this morning. I guess the errors are random, no worries.
I did a search for "genaservercontroller" and got 2 hits that reference Mediaportal 2 on Github. The linked items are from long ago, 12 years or so.

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience and the settings you changed to get your Mediaportal PCs working on both Windows 10 and 11! It's always helpful to hear about these kinds of solutions, especially when there isn't much discussion around the issue.
I'm not the most tech-savvy person, but I'll definitely keep your tips in mind if...

Ok some good news after much tearing out of hair lol as i refuse to be beaten at problem solving i managed to find out where EPG Collector gets its epg from and found it gets it from 'freesathome' so cribbed the settings from that and added the freesathome channel to the radio channels and selected that channel only to collect epg...

Some videos break the aspect ratio of the output resolution to TV (even the MePo GUI changes aspect ratio)

That was it! :)
I had to set it to "Maintain display scaling". I think it was set to "Maintain Aspect Ratio", which added black bars to MediaPortal when playing videos that didn't conform to a strict 16:9 ratio, I suppose.
Thanks to everyone for the patience and help, I can finally enjoy videos fully.

A WORK AROUND !!!
Hello to everyone again.
I too was experiencing these problems.
I was using 1.25v of MP with 32 gigs of memory, win7.
The reason why it occurs is due to the the number of files scheduled to be recorded.
Solution:-
Check the number of scheduled recordings (and scheduled series to be recorded) and reduce them...

Just thought that I would share what I have discovered in madVR settings with my NVidia graphics card.
First of all, I'm using LAV + madVR + MPAR. I have a 1660s graphics card.

1. Jumping image with 23p and 24p video.
2. Stuttering with UI like the TV guide.
The first was fixed by changing...

I found the answer. The files were downloaded, and must have had some sort of corruption in them that passed the other players I tried them in, but produced the green bar in the TVSeries plugin. After downloading the files again, the problem went away. Thanks for your help.

Well, thank you. Knowing that it is not the same Media Portal does help me, so I know I do not have to look into this any further.
You are right, I think I just contact to Edision support next.

Yes. If the TV is also used for Live-TV the format is indeed not perfect. That's why we placed it in the bed room last year and the living room got a larger 16:9 Samsung TV with selfmade Ambilight :)

The checkbox mentioned is unchecked. I found a solution. I had selected the AV HDMI device as the audio renderer in the MP Config. I switched to DirectSound and the issue disappeared, along with a problem with DTS passthrough. Some issue with WASAPI apparently.

I've been using version 1.2.2.0 for years and have found no need to upgrade to newer version. I hate it that skins loose compatibility with almost every new version.

Not quite that simple - or that complicated. I have used Schedules Direct for years and highly recommend it.
There is a complete "how to" guide in the MP Wiki.
Read that - yes it requires some work and time to get it going - but once running it's reliable and a very comprehensive EPG is the result.

Did a full install of 1.29 last week....instead of the usual upgrade.
Although I did an export/import of settings...perhaps the epg settings weren't passed on!!?
