The file will not play with VLC or WMP. It also will not convert in handbrake. As it is a hd file I have no means to split it It is taking up space and so I will just delete it. I think when using Mepo to record and you lose power it ruins the output and thus it is garbage as I suspected. The remote access is a nice offer- but I...

Welcome! Try the wiki. This is gonna be the best place to start. Yes, please do this. Codec packs lead to various issues. If your system is not too messed up, yes. MediaPortal comes with LAV which should take of most video files. Maybe/probably you'll have to enable bitstreaming in LAV Audio Codec, if you're connected your...

Hello and welcome Doug MP doesn't disable WMP. :S If you meant WMC, that is only disabled by manual action. Doesn't seem much point in warning if somebody chooses to do something. So to be clear: installing MP does not touch WMP or WMC in any way. After installing you can choose to disable WMC services to enable MP to operate better...

Thank you! Using an SQL script might well provide what I need. I will read the on-line help that you referenced. I vaguely remember that the REXX scripting language does have an interface to SQL, although that may not be the MySQL that MP 1.9 uses. I have never used SQL, so this is all new to me! :confused: -- from CyberSimian...

I also see this with 1.9 pre, which I still have installed on my ultrabook, I was hoping 1.9 full would cure it. I wouldn't know from my main HTPC which has 1.9 full, since MP is never closed (except when it crashes :censored:). However in my case it's not every time, just sometimes, then I have to kill it with task manager so I can...

@HTPC_Sourcer (and everyone) - So, I imaged the system drive, and played round. I managed to get the Essentials role version working, but also, I tried adding in the BDA files, forcibly overwriting the few existing BDA files that I had issues with. I succeeded in the end, both ways! In case anyone else is doing what I did and...

The "incompatible" status of a plugin has nothing to do with the skin that you are using. If the config under 1.9 or 1.10 showed it as incompatible, then your system was having a different issue.

There's no such list. If you find one that doesn't work then let us know. Otherwise, most codecs you can get your hands on should work (in the sense that video/audio should work - FF/RW is a different story).

I believe there's basic DLNA support in MP1 and MP2 which could get you access to pre-recorded content. For live TV you would either need an app on your TV (so platform specific) or the ability to connect a Chromecast to streaming through MPExtended (this works in principle but there is no official support yet).

Hi randome, We have a conflict system in place, but we have an issue with that at the moment. We're working on a fix which will probably be in the upcoming 1.10 Pre Release version.

No, I overwrote the failed installation when I restored the drive image. To be honest, I think that it was probably my fault that it failed, and it would not be sensible for you or another MP developer to spend any time looking at it.
