Thank you CodeMonkey, I was just going to reflect your thoughts as well. What people fail to realize is that "Softcam won't be supported" doesnt mean that it won't be done - All it means is that the core MP team will not develop it, will not help people install it or use it, and will not contribute to softcam development. This...

I've found that my 'show' thumbs are used for folders only (where there exists multiple shows), else for single recordings, for some reason, the channel logo is used (a bug?) Actually, it would be nice to be able to provide a folder thumb and a single recording thumb as its useful to be able to distinguish between these visually.

MP1 MP2 Lets have a RC5 DE
I think if all problems are solved, a RC5 would be nice. Just to be sure its stable and there no other bugs. If there aren't any problems with RC5 then the final version could be released. I think the RC versions is a good system to get people who don't download the latest SVN (cvs) test the latest version. Keep up the good work !

yea Media Portal does need to expand its community the more people that know of Media Portal the better because some of those people could be coders and they can help out with codeing some othere people might make some plugins or skins and so on. And this all speeds things up. Media portal is doing good and will get better but the...

Thanx FlipGer, I guess its the same as MCE . Just set up shared folders and away you go. One more question, MCE has a plugin called " MY MOVIES " which allows you to catalog your DVD collection by categories. It also has a SERIES / BOX SET feature which allows you to bundle DVD's which make up an entire season of a TV show. Does...

Hi landrews, "NoScroll SubMenus" does exactly that for me also, I think it's broke. Whatever you do don't be tempted to untick the "Scroll menu items" if you have more items than can be displayed (5 for razor) then it don't work at all. "Fix Scroll Bar" is pretty good (I like it anyhow) - the highlighted item doesn't move. I...

I’m kind of sad today because I just can’t get the DVB-C work right in MediaPortal. I’ve invested a lot of spare time to get my HTPC project working and spent more money than I initially wanted. Started at the end of March this year because the local cable TV provider began shutting down some analogue channels and integrating...

But it still gets back to my first point. If your system has enough memory, then this shouldn't be an issue. This is just the way that Windows XP handles it's memory. On the surface it is similar to the 9x series, but there's a lot more to it. I'm not sure why more memory is being allocated (not used) but it must be something to...

Agreed. In North America the primary TV tuners are analog, and many other programs out there support multiple tuners: MCE, sagetv, etc.. I look at MP as more then just a TV box. If I wanted to only watch TV I would be using something like BeyondTV or sageTV. What I like about MP is that it IS the very definition of a HTPC. I can do...

Could you list the price, because i could only find the amitech keyboard for 799dkr, while the MS keyboard costs 'only' ~400dkr. How usable is the thumb mouse thing?

You can get some very silent laptop HDs. They can definetly be much more silent than their desktop counterparts but they are not available with sufficient capacity for HTPC use(my 250GB HD has run out of space on more than one occasion :) When it comes to CPU's, you might want to have a look at the Core Duo T2300 up to the T2600...
