Hi, Every time when starting MediaPortal first what I get is on the screen "Loading Windows plugin" and after that "Initialize..... Is it possible to disable this because it takes some time and instead to get those messages that start screen with music, tv, movies loads immediately?

You can change the volume settings in the Configuration Program. Ensure you have Wave selected. This will allow you to mute MediaPortal and allow for volume on all your other applications.

1 and 2: Yes. You could use CEC or a universal remote, ie Logitech Harmony. That being said, if you had a TV-tuner card working, you wouldn't need to, as your PC would be the STB :).

Sorry you had problems and have decided to pass on MePo. From your description, it sound like your install was not complete - you should not have had to look for the extension manager, and with Titan Extended, the xml file should be in place. However, better luck with your current set up and sorry MePo was not for you at this time...

Hello and welcome Chris :) Before I say anything else I think it should be said that MP is not designed to do what you're wanting to do. Some people are able to make such setups work with a lot of persistence... however more people fail than succeed. Unfortunately you're unlikely to find detailed information. In most cases if you're...

I have to disagree - there are people quite happily running TV server on dual-core Atom systems (just TV-server, not for playback as well). I run a single-seat system on a old E4400 CPU (Core2Duo @ 2.2 GHz), 4GB RAM with a 250GB 2.5" boot/timeshift drive + 2TB WD 3.5" "Green" drive. It is frequently recording 2-3 HDTV streams (from a...

I moved from MCE a year or so ago. I used MCE heavily and had quite a few plugins running...this is what I found... 1) everyone seems to say MCE lacks customisation...which it does. You seem to have to 'hack' everything to alter things...which can be a pain. 2) MCE can only use extenders...then you run into the problems of running 2...

MP1 MP2 Firewire? DE
Hello Pat The threads from four years ago are probably just as relevant today. If you could provide links I could say what is relevant and what is not.

Just a bit of feedback. I recorded both SD and HD content from UK Freeview, and uploaded to my NAS's media server without remuxing. I was able to stream down to the LG TV for both formats - (MPEG 2 for SD) and (AVC MPEG 4 for HD) without issue. SKipping around the timeline was supported and the HD picture was excellent.

The DVB EPG grabber won't work for ATSC/SCTE EPG. In other words, please disable the EPG grabber. Leaving it enabled can only cause problems.

MP1 MP2 PC LCD stuttering DE
Not sure if don't think 24 will be speed up to 30. Best is to use 60Hz in that case, then 2:3 pulldown will be applied. I looks more interesting to see if you can make your display do 72Hz (which is 24Hz x3). Good luck with setting up the PC again!

Well my friends, looks like your insight was correct - MP 1.6 is carrying the older WebEPG IMDB file.
