Who says it is not documented? :P Maybe not the best possible way, but it is something that normal users dont have to play with. UserGuides/Switch-stable-svn-builds - MediaPortal Manual Documentation Sounds like a bug or bad design to me. MediaPortal.xml is 99% written by the config. Only few unsupported debug settings are...

Nero are most probably blocking the use of their decoders, the same now applies to the likes of Cyberlink PowerDVD9 codecs. You might be interested in SAF or VCP, either will give you working h.264 support with dxva, using the MPC-HC codecs.

MP1 MP2 Can't enter standby DE
Check out the MCE Standby tool (http://slicksolutions.eu/mst.shtml). Should allow you to enable S3 standby at initial install, (or configure later on the "Sleep State" tab). Then there's lots of options there to play with that may well help at runtime - not least of which is a log file (check "Create log file" on the "Debug" tab)...
