In MP config, you need to go to the Videos->Video Folders and add a new share for the folder on the drive you want to see.

MP1 MP2 Slooooow startup... DE
Hi homeyjay, and welcome to the forum :) Short answer: 0 - Allways attach system specs and logs. See end of my post 1 - If you set MP up to ue TV, the it will try to connect to the TVServer. I guess this is what happens to you. You could try to start TVServer config (passord: MediaPortal, user: SA). This way TVServer will at least...

MP1 MP2 Background Music DE
Hmm, yeah, kind of. Could we not configure a dll like this to start playing automatically as soon as somthing stops playing? (A bit like the annoying background music on a sky+ box when you enter the menu structure) Also, thank you for the welcome :)

Hello everyone, I recently got a new HD movie in mp4 file format. I 'tested' the quality of the file simply using media player classic before I loaded into MP. The quality of the video was astounding, it looks great in 720p HD. I then loaded it into MP and played it, and now the picture doesn't look as sharp, the colors not as...

MP1 MP2 Hauppauge RC DE
Take it this is the remote sensor which plugs into the tvcard and not a usb one. Install IR32 from your hauppauge driver cd, now reboot, once windows restarts then open MP config\remotes, select the hauppauge remote and that should be it. Last tested with the WinTV7 application on my 45 button remote, so should work, unless you have...

Hey 2910grimster, This is being caused by how MovPics stores movie records in it's database. It is not only looking at the path to the movie file, but also the serial number of the drive that it is on. When you change hard drives, even if the path to the watched folder remains the same, the serial number to the drive changes, and...

I can remember the pain well... The trick is to get the iMon remote working first - and personally, I do this with a combination of the iMon software (which I dislike) and the .imo file that Chemelli (I think) has posted on this forum somewhere - he seems to be pretty switched on when it comes to iMon. I never managed to get IR...

This is not possible. The TV-Server always takes the name from the drivers. So either you have received dvb-t cards instead of dvb-s2 cards, or you somehow got the wrong drivers installed which is very unlikely as well. Btw. i am using 1 floppy-dtv-s, 1 floppy-dtv-s2 and 1 fire-dtv-s2 here without any issues.
