MediaPortal 1 Talk (88 Viewers)

General talk regarding our HTPC-software MediaPortal 1 takes place here.
1080p/60 signals can be transmitted with: - DVI-I, DVI-D or HDMI (digital) - component (3 RCA connectors, analogue) - VGA (standard monitor connection, analogue) Digital is not necessarily better (IMHO) - use whatever looks best, consider the length you need and the $$$s for a good cable. Analog RGB cannot be distinquished...

In my home, I have what you might call a hybrid network. I have two 54g access points, 100Mb switches, 1Gb switches, and a firewall/router/switch that has eight 100Mb ports plus the uplink port. The access points and switches plug directly into the switch on the router. The down-stream switches are daisy-chained, so that the second Gb...

Regarding the different networks & programs in AU, some SD programs are supplied with mpeg and ac3 audio channels, some just supply a single mpeg audio channel. For HD they just supply an ac3 audio channel. Since the TVserver re-stripes the transport streams using the existing sub streams you can get a mix between mpeg, mpeg/ac3 and...

i would guess it is the SC101s being a pain. Real NAS boxes shouldn't have this problem, but these rely on windows drivers (which is just plain weird)

Matt, Just read the link you provided for the snapstream forums. Thats a really interresting problem you guys are having. Im using a PVR-150MCE and was debating on getting a PVR-500MCE, but after looking at that, I may just hold off a bit. I have a PVR-150MCE and the picture quality is great. I still think Hauppauge is one of the...

Thanks, mzemina! Very interesting indeed. But I'm not quite sure if this is exactly what we request. Bavarian's personal EPG is much more advanced than what I thought about. IMO it would be enough if MP would just check new EPG data for time changes of scheduled recordings. A real Tivo-like personal TV guide would sure be great...

MP1 MP2 marked slow down DE
yeah i have a feeling its not actual the tv engine but the skin animations slowing down screen changes, maybe there is a slight glitch in there that makes it loop a bit or something so it hangs for the 4-5 seconds. i'm sure the animations will be speed up or optimised so they are pretty quick and snappy

Whenever I install a new build of the TV Engine, it loses not only the channel listing but also my recorded tv shows (the files are still there, but the database is cleared), my epg, and my scheduled recordings. Is there a way to install the latest TV Engine SVN without having to add these things back in every time?

Thanx CHli, you had the answer to my question. Lower FPS does interfere scroll speed and makes the program slow (of course). For now I'm using MP with wireless mouse but I'm looking for a total solution to switch on my HTPC, amplifier and TV in the right AV-mode. Think I found it in the combination with VLSYSTEMS M-PLAY VFD BLAST...
