The easiest way is to: 1. Download strings.xml 2. Edit strings.xml 3. Post the edited strings.xml at sf.net as a patch 4. Notify the devs. Cheers, Martin

MP1 MP2 Resolutions DE
mbuzina, I have got mine working using the DVI output now and it works with 1280x720p. You should be able to get 1280x720p working @ 60hz but not 1280x768 as it's not a supported mode for DVI. I also find that it doesn't seem to support anything x768 so therefore 1366x768 also won't work. Hope this helps.

Good points, didn't have time to scan the forum; or rather take the time... pardon me. See your point about the CD, probably someone out there blagging Debian or other too. Still, that's what I perceive it as; a blag. If MP get some good publicity great, but if the schemer is setting up his/her customers with a virus? All the...

That sounds very familiar to me. Had the same problems with my PVR250MCE. In addition MP always tells me it is a PVR150. Compare it to the visual card reference on www.shrpvr.com and it is a true PVR250MCE. Got it working perfectly with the following driver, which is a PVR150/500 driver. TV Card Model: Hauppauge PVR250MCE TV...

Hopefully this is the right place for this request. I am in need of a raw DVB transport stream (.ts) file for testing purposes.

MP1 MP2 Recording TV Shows DE
It doesn't has to be that difficult, it could be implemented in a way that the left arrow (on remote or keyboard) trims the left side of the program description, and moving to the right does the same on the right side; then looking at the remaining string like '*string*' would work, and it would be easy to the user (or at least it...

The OSD volume is a good point actually. It should appear no matter where you use it as it effects sound in menus, music, etc. However, it is not such a big deal as the volume buttons still works and there is audible feedback when you make a change. It does turn finding the right volume into guesswork or playing it by ear while...

This has been discussed several times in the past, if you care to dig those topics up. The main issue is not selling the computer with MediaPortal on it (which is fine, as far as I know) but more the fact that MediaPortal is still under heavy development. It is probably not really a great idea to sell a product to consumers when it is...

I was actually starting to look at doing this in plugin form as well, but the issue was that the source I found is in WMV9, and I was hoping to be able to download stuff locally.
