But in reality i would have had more luck trying to play a DVD on a record player. Only after fitting a PCI ATi card to it did it play ok ish. It is now used as a linux...

TV-Server/overview - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation Don't be to concerned with the fact server keeps getting mentioned, althought it is, but as i'm working with a standalone pc, then i like to consider it more as a TV service for my needs, as mediaportal does not have to be running for it to work.

You can use the "My Programs" plugin (or derivate) to launch any application. Used to be a integrated plugin, but now it has to be downloaded separately. You can find it here: MEDIAPORTAL - free MediaCenter HTPC Software - My Programs (MPI) You might also want to do a search for alternatives. HTH

Hello as my signature states, I did forget something : I am not alone at home and using the VOO digital signal for MP would mean that anyone, including the kids would have to use it for watching TV. So, I finally bought an analog TVcard for use with MP and let the family use VOO directly as before. After spending some bucks in a...

Do they show up in windows media player 11 ok. Wonder if the file types are tied in some way to MediaMonkey. If you go to MP config\music\database, select the options you want and then scan for files, does it find them.

you could look at zoneminder or similar CCTv apps that provide a streaming website that montages all cameras one the same sceen. Then within MP1 use the web browser plugin to view that site. Again for notification of movement this could not be achieved without designing a plugin (if at all possible).

Are any of the other programmings running? They might be "holding" the tuner card to MP can't see it. I had the same problem, when i had beyond TV installed. Eventhough it weren't running. After uninstall MP could detect the tuner card. I know you can't uninstall WMC, but check if any of its process are running and if so terminate them.
