So you view normal winamp through your TV basicly and all MP does it's create a short cut to that application. Is that correct or and you still within MP and it's using the winamp engine since one thing is may be better for me is how it's lists all your music as other players are a little long winded I must admit I am rather new to...

I haven't tried using MyVideos yet, but I take it it's the same there. Just install Daemon Tools and enable it in the MP configuration and you should be good to go. But if you have DVDs in iso-format aswell you might want to configure Windows to no do anything when a DVD is inserted.

MP1 MP2 Watching TV through VIVO?? (1 Viewer) DE
I assume a VIVO is something like a TIVO? If so you need a BDA compliant capture card that can take the output from "VIVO" and capture it in TV Server. In fact with a bit more work you can probably also change channels too, but getting an IR Blaster and blasting from MP (using IR Server Suite plugin). By the time you bought a...
