MediaPortal 1 Talk (101 Viewers)

General talk regarding our HTPC-software MediaPortal 1 takes place here.
I installed MP in my XP desktop PC. For some reasons, MP can not access internet in my desktop. Hence weather or rss feeds like plugins do not work. I then installed MP in my laptop. There it works fine. Any clue of what might be causing the internet access issue in my desktop? I am not running any personal firewall there.

MP1 MP2 MP on 2 computers DE
You could try using a script to copy the TV Database from one PC to the other 'on bootup' (but before MP loads) when the remote database is newer then the local database. You'll need to setup both PCs to use mapped drives for the shares even if it's actually locally attached. Simply put, you want both MPs to be using the same...

Hi, I have exchanged a couple of polite emails with the seller, and apparently he makes a donation to MediaPortal each month based on his sales. He does not include the source code on his CD. He feels that pointing out that the software is covered under the GPL and providing a web address for the source is sufficient. I...

I thought the MP plugin should handle this as well. It checks your nominated mail box and sets an Icon if you have mail. I don't use it myself and I understand it's not very easy to actually read your mail with the plugin but this part should work. Or am I wrong? It's been known to happen...

In fact, I can't wake my FSC Scaleo E from hibernate with the remote, so at least the IR interface is also powered down during hibernate (but not during standby).

It has no influence on the way the remote works inside MP. MP closes the standard remote program and uses it's own way to support the remote. When you leave MP the default remote program is started again. If you run MP in a window you can see this happen. Or just watch your tray icon while running the MP configuration.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll take a look at both options mentioned. Druffski, I assume you mean I will end up with sub folders under my movies?

MP1 MP2 Couple of questions DE
I'll pick up on #3 MP does use Windows Media Player as the default player. But you can assign any external video player (VLC, Zoom, etc)to replace it. And I would play with your codec settings as recommended by jburnette. It helped me with loads of video issues.

Hey Keith, I really do think we agree on more than you realise, it's really only the submission method I am worried about. So please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Personally, I think Media Portal is perfectly stable, even despite the fact I am using SVNs. Saying that, I believe that the TV part of the program is unstable to the point where I don't/can't use it, but I think that has something to do with the fat I use a cheap TV Card and I don't have the best of tv signals at times. Other...

I'd like to see this too. I can see why you might want to separate Radio and TV, but Radio could well mirror the TV functions. I tried a PM to the My Radio Replacement guy, but no response. At the moment, my problem is more basic. MP won't deliver radio channels from the Technisat SkyStar 2 card at all, though it faithfully downloads...
