Just a thought: you might want to keep the files at decent to high quality incase you get a better TV in the future. It would be a drag to have to re-spend the time getting the movies onto the discs - it's considerable. Invest in a DVD-ROM drive known for DVD5/9 speed - this will cut ripping time considerably. Many Lite-On models are...

I've been looking for similar functionality...but I think what I'm going to end up doing is ripping DVD's to mpeg2's with full quality, and joining the mpeg's for multi-disk titles. I loose menu navigation/chapters, but until there's a workaround.

In MP configuration, television item, look for the Channel Numbers section.
"Select Channel Number by index (non-U.S.) should be CHECKED in most placed outside the U.S. where channels are just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... If you are in the U.S., CLEAR this checkbox.
If you type in a number that doesn't match a channel number (or index)...

I am using MP as shell since I started with my first HTPC about 2 years ago. It is running like a charm, except of the common problems related to MP itself.
One thing you should keep in mind is, that some default autostart stuff might not work, as it is fired only when using explorer.exe as shell. So some background tasks might not...

i have tried this, but it doesn't quite work to well, it involves a registry entry to change the sole program from explorer.exe to mediaportal.exe, and as far as the log on screen, goto start ->run-> msconfig (enter) then goto the boot.ini tab, put a check in noguiboot and thee ya go.
It's been awhile since i tried this, i cant...

Bioguyer, you may want to choose a TV with plenty of extra digital inputs, and a VGA input can't hurt. Otherwise, the same criteria you would use to evaluate performance on television and DVD's would be the performance criteria you would use for a tv in an HTPC setup. Choose the resolution that best supports your needs for watching...

Hey thanks for the details I shall try it out and keep you posted! ;D And yea I'm using the silver settopbox (not the standard one but SmartTV, the one with dual recorders that lets you record a show into the settopbox's internal harddisk while watching another show simultaneously).

0.2.3 is the latest released version. The other versions you tried are not as feature rich, and are less likely to get support for.
Daemon tools DOES work in 0.2.3. I use that all the time. Make sure that you have it set to the correct virtual drive number. It's easiest if you have...

also make sure you have the latest version of vs filter.
This solves 80% of the trouble people have here with playing .mkv files. If this doesnt solve it then follow the great codec guide(s) posted here on the forum recently.

Which plugin should I download for my regular comcast cable so that I have a TV guide?
I'm in Colorado USA.
Thanks
You don't need to use webEPG, i was perplexed by this at the begining also.
Try grabbing EPG from the DVB Stream instead, find the checkbox in tv config.
It'll soon start building up your tv guide.

Hello gen2oo7,
this is not possible, some PCMCIA interfaces are compatible to PROGRAMM CAM Interfaces but not to descramble anything. Also MediaPortal has nothing to do with CAM handling, this is done on system level (see forum search for more information on this). btw: You still need a TV card for watching TV, just buying a CAM...

My solution to the "defective" plugin mentioned, is to use the inbuild plugin called "My Programs". You can add a "Application Launcher" in that. The application to launch should be someting like DVD-decrypter (google it). It accepts arguments. So you can set it to automatically rip a DVD when started.
If you need more help I can...
