Can't get the MP to hibernate!
OK,
Thanks for all your help so far guys, I am almost there now and it all seems to be working perfectly, with the exception of the powersave.
For some reason, I just can not get my computer to go in to hibernate or standby. This means that I can not "go live" with MP until I have got this...

I have just started using MP after about a year of using DVB Viewer. I have to say, that considering that MP is free...
sound via HDMI is like spdif... if u decode DTS and don't passthrough, it's no DTS at the end of the cable. so if u want to have "real" dts or DD, then you need to passthrough the signal to your external device and control the volume with the external device.
as far as i know (i also have a samsung lcd) the otical out of the TV...

Thanks, I think that answers my question. I was referring to cable btw.
If I wanted to watch the same channel on each client I only need 1 TV tuner. If I want separate channels on each client I need multiple cards... Right?

I would recommend you first sort your installation with the default skin. Then if you are happy, try other skins.
That way you know any possible issues are not skin related. Also the preferred way of MP core support requests.

If the browser can use javascript, or if you can install a MSN-Client, have a look at For The Record. It has webaccess and a IM-Bot. The bot can schedule recordings in the next versin 1.4, have testet it in a beta myself.

Hi All
Am I correct in thinking that .RAM radio streamed files are not playable in Media Portal?
I have tried various things to get them to play, but to no avail so far.
Any hints?
Cheers!

Hey Rick,
Welcome to MediaPortal.
First, we'll need a little info on your system. If you create a profile, you can enter it so it'll automatically be part of your posts (see the "My system" button under my username for example). For now, can you tell me if you're trying to use MP in single seat (playing TV on the same machine...

I'm trying to play MP4 files using MP and it's giving me an error:
The files I'm trying to play are podcasts from Revision 3: Diggnation & Systm. If I exit MP, I can play them using VLC with no problem. Also I do have ffdshow installed. It plays every other video file with no problem. Any ideas?
Nevermind, I figured it out...

does the remote work ok otherwise, i have a haup 500dt-dvbt and the remote software is broken by installing sp3 something to do with the onboard via usb chip, i ended up just using a sp2 install of xp, not ideal but better than throwing away my £60 tv card ;)

First, how about comparing how you have the computer connected to the TV vs how you have the STB connected. Are you using the same input and what is it (ie composite, component, HDMI?). What video card are you using in the PC?

Not to worry, I have found a workaround that will get me by.
I originally didn't want to set up a tv server on my htpc as my htpc is the only pc in the house that needs access to the tuner. By setting up the TV server and using the MP Client to view it, I can record and timeshift perfectly. I suppose this is the way the program was...

Hi,
I had the same problem and this is what helped me.
According to "summary.txt" in SQL install logs the trouble was related to COM+, which in turn depends on Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator. Installing MSDTC again by typing " %WINDIR%\System32\msdtc.exe -install " in the command prompt solved the problem, the...
