MediaPortal 1 Talk (138 Viewers)

General talk regarding our HTPC-software MediaPortal 1 takes place here.
Yes, but it is not really straight forward to configure a TV-card with a software encoder (though, I heard TV-cards with hardware encoders are fine) … I have tried for about 2-3 weeks, the new Mediaportal TV-server and the (old) Mediaportal build-in TV-engine, but gave up now. It either crashed every time when I started recoding...

I guess EVR isn't as much the problem as Aero. Aero is really the problem with EVR. If I disable aero, then I don't get any stuttering while doing other tasks. Unfortunately, disabling aero causes tearing instead. If you could use EVR without aero and not get tearing that would be cool too.

Thanks, turning off Aero completely did the trick (I only turned off the see-through effect first). I hoped it was possible to have adaptive deinterlacing with Aero on, using the registry hack, but seems not possible.

Hi Jameson To be honest I've given up trying to understand what actually goes on when a pc outputs video. I think my problems were down to "bad" bios version and/or catalyst drivers.

MP1 MP2 What is TV-Server DE
So TVSever is a plug in option for Media Portal, or when you download MediaPortal it is included? I'd OPEN media Portal and check myself, but it hangs on me at DirectX initialization, as well sometimes at the Plug IN section. So I assumed it had to do with not having a good video card installed. I have a new one being delivered on a...

MP1 MP2 WEB-EPG Denmark DE
Great site to get EPG Hi, I used to use webepg (build-in), TVGG2 or other Perl or scripted tools. But you can create an account at ontv.dk and get a complete xml file to download (this can be done automatically in TV-Server using the built-in XML Plugin). The account has a small fee (€10/year) but it's all worth it! /Henrik

Yup, but thats a bit more complex. I'd recommend you to check the XML's of a skin that does this - like Aeon (found in the graveyard).

I Normally use the tv series plugin with downloaded shows. if however you record one and you wish to keep it you need to rename the recorded file showname - SxxExx where Sxx = the season number and Exx = episode name E.g.

MP1 MP2 New remote DE
Depends on how it operates I guess. Looks pretty neat tho. I'd say it would have to operate in a manor that you could map to mediaportal actions/commands. So if you could use gestures to be recognised like keystrokes or remote control button presses then it would be fine.

The answer is yes... Just install the TV-Server on the one PC and MediaPortal-Client on the other PC.....
