Take it easy. Step away from the computer and try to do something else. Another day, it will all sort itself out. At least that is my experience. Some days, nothing works as it should. Other days, solutions to all problems come easy.
FWIW, I had a few frustrating days with Media Portal as well. I have got it to a point where I...

Hi,
This is a quick message borne out of frustration, so please bear with me....

The .iso is not needed, all it does is to collect all the files you now have inside one file. Personally I have all my DVDs ripped the same way that you have, simply open the video_ts.ifo to play the file, that way you don't have to wait for Daemon to mount the iso and start it up. Personally I can't see any reason why to use...

Might want to have a look at kxDriver if you have a Creative Soundcard.
This allows you to direct the audio from your applications to a notional port on the card.

Only problem is you can't have more than one iteration of...

I would suggest just going into the movie database editor (MO Settings, Movies, Datebase, Editor tab) and changing the name of the BR version to something like "Ironman (BR)".
Anything you do will require the titles to be slightly different - otherwise you couldn't even have two different Ironman covers.

Hi,
Is there a way to make mp3 from my collection of CD's.
I have aprox 200 cd's and would like to "force" MP to get from internet track names and record audio tracks to hard disk in mp3 format.
Is there any plugin or "way" to this on MP ?

In the U.S., your best option by far is Schedules Direct. Yes, it's a pay service, but it more reliable than some sort of screen scrapers. (This service was created to support open source htpc software after Zap2It shut off their service.) It's also really cheap.
