General talk regarding our HTPC-software MediaPortal 1 takes place here.
Sorry for insulting you. I was just worried. I had never heard of MP before.

Hi Guys,
I am a current Media Center user but have been testing Media Portal on my Vista laptop prior to moving over to my HTPC to see what it looks like and what you can do with it and I have say, so far, i'm impressed. I have it setup the way I like it but my question relates to the TV Server side of things. My laptop doesn't...

I have mediaportal at 1080p using the spinsafe 1080 skin.
Performance, especially startup times, are ... well... let's say they make me cry. It easily takes 20-30 seconds to start mediaportal the first time. (C2D @ 3Ghz, Fast WD SATA drive, 2G Memory)
I'm considering getting an SSD because I suspect a lot of time comes from...

I'd like to add a couple of things:
I noticed great picture improvements for DVD and TV when i switched to the ffdshow raw video decoder. I didn't dig into this much further, and maybe somebody could comment on this in greater detail. But it seems to me that by doing this, ffdshow does not try to decode the video stream, instead...

I supposed this. I try to edit the file but is different from the standard of DVBS frequency example this is a part of file "13.0° E Hotbird":

Hi Mike
MP has never been good at poor signal reception, the errors that crop up are relentless at causing crashes, for anyone a reasonably good signal is required, your flogging the proverbial dead horse if not :(
Good luck with your setup.

What settings for min/max files, file size, etc are you using in TVServer config?

Hi Snowy,
if you configure ffdshow as audio codec, you will be able to configure an audio delay in the ffdshow settings. But this won't work for AC3 sound unless you decode and re-encode it.

MCE Standby Tool (MST) could be a solution: it is designed to manage some parameters to make the PC standby/hibernate and wake up correctly but it has also the possibility to blank the screen during start-up or shutdown to avoid that any trace of Windows is visible.
The other possibility is, if you use the PC as a Mediaportal only...

Unfortunately I don't have an answer to you, but would like to say that I totally agree. Making MP plugin-oriented and open is totally good, but as long as the shortcut-keys are hardcoded there is room for improvement.
