MediaPortal 1 Talk (53 Viewers)

General talk regarding our HTPC-software MediaPortal 1 takes place here.
Thanks for the folder.jpg trick! Unfortunately, you cannot find all DVDs in the moview database. Simply somefimes they are not classified as movies. Walt Disney Mickey, Donald and Goofy collections, Pink Panter and Popeye cartoons are an example. I loaded my Walt Disneys to hard disk and looking for the way to show the cover album...

MP1 MP2 "Movies" or "Videos"? (2 Viewers) DE
Videos is more appropriate. I watch a lot of things besides film from my "My Videos" thing on MP.

Hi, If I understand you correct, you mean nothing happens when you click on the "Web Browser" in the home screen, right? Did you download and install the Mozilla ActiveX control? You can download the latest from here. If you still can't get it to work, then: start MP, try to enter the web browser, close MP and then post your...

What size TV are you using? SD TV sets are designed to use 720x576 for PAL and 720x480 for NTSC. HD would be much higher. Having higher resolutions shouldnt effect performace much (if any).

Thanks, but as you said there is not metadata there containing the show information. Its kept in the SQLite db. But what I want to know is how does the DVR-MS file link the DB entry to get the description in MP??

MP1 MP2 Pre MP preparation DE
Thanks Callifo, Surely PAL would create massive files? How do you guys achieve storage of this? I was looking at a 1Tb NAS device from Buffalo. Is this suitable for use with MP? Does it "stream" fast enough over a wired/wireless connection using PAL/640x480 settings?

Sorta what I expected. However, it may easier to wait & see what the ReplayTV / Hauppauge 'Joint Venture' produces. I'm thinking that the RTV branded capture card would create the index file for use with legacy RTV hardware on the network (Networked ReplayTVs skip commercials automatically when streaming from other ReplayTVs on the...

XMLTV can be scheduled as far as I know, using windows scheduer. There are some threads around here about it I'm sure.

I believe the client server idea is going to be included in...

I also think this probably isn't a good idea. This would increase the workload for the devs. They are always sworking on the TV engine so there would be duplication to make sure the core system always has the same version for testing purposes. If people want to test MP, then why can't they simply use the latest release version...

Good idea, although TV series, TV movies and documentaries are also shown on IMDb so perhaps every genre other than "News", etc. (I'm sure there are others) could be linked to it.
