At first I must admit that my question is not completely on-topic, because the problem I have occurs also outside of Mediaportal, but maybe you can give me some advice. I would like to use TMT 3 as external player for dvd's (and of course for BD's) because I like the SimHD plugin. However I have a few dvd's that, according to...

Yes I tried SAF. Not worked for me. I tried MP under both OS's. Finally it plays almost normally under Win XP (thank for Core AVC hint), but under Win 7 Core AVC takes 80-100% CPU and plays bigger mkv files very jerky. That same file MP doesnt play under Win 7 either (AC3 and XVID issue).

Oh, now that I think of it I have seen a similar CODEC issue! It's happened before that I can't play certain files unless I play a different file first, otherwise I get a CODEC error, or I just get a CODEC error that doesn't seem to always happen. I am not sure what can cause this except improperly installed/buggy CODEC installation...

I was wondering the same thing. I know that I would need to connect my receiver to the input of my media center, but can the media center become a DVR for the dish network receiver? Set the input to channel 3 on the media center and set the Dish network receiver to auto tune to the channel for recording.

Yeah, i kind of feel the same way -- the home screen is great, but once you go further in the design - changing layouts etc, if there was a theme with none of them options it would be perfect for them. I think i'll just use the skin editor and take them all out. Cheers Jack
