Newcomers to MediaPortal may start here with their questions
Just found this page in the wiki, I'll try this out. Probably it is a fix I did not have this problem with a reboot, I think it has to do with a tvserver request from another client.

Thanks for the workaround but I had already tried that. The problem is that not all movies come with an MPAA rating. Especially some of the older ones. That's the main reason I looked into being able to add unmapped categories such as "Movies". But even if they did, that still wouldn't solve the problem with the guide coloring for...

Sweet as bro! TV is now up and running again. In hindsight I can now obviously see that I was missing the TV plugin as all the options relating to it were missing from the configuration tool and on the settings screen. Thanks heaps for your help. The only other thing that was missing was gentle.config. Luckily MP had created a...

MP1 MP2 Simple TV Only App? (1 Viewer) DE
Hello again As above: because MP is designed and optimised to be used with a remote and a large TV. It can be used on a regular desktop PC with mouse and keyboard (as I do), but this is not a primary design goal. Alt+enter toggles windowed <--> FS modes. Some skins will be more mouse friendly than others. For example, the default...

Hi Matt I assume you mean basic fixed function appliance type unit, with embedded OS and fixed function. That being the case, sorry but no MediaPortal is Windows only - these appliance units are generally an embedded Linux, so you need a functional PC base - quite a small and simple PC will suffice in most cases, I've used re...

No, it doesn't stink for 1000's of people across the world, so lets take a step back. You say "will not allow me to turn on my TV" - I assume you mean start the TV element of the system [My TV] - if your TV really won't turn on, it's not MediaPortal that's the problem:eek: There are lots of people on this forum who routinely help...

I would not replace the Shell - that way you remove the existing Windows Interface and replace it with MP. More difficult to debug later. Better to run MP in AutoStart and use the Little script tool I linked to above to go to the Desktop (with MP) on Startup (it just Shows the Metro/Modern Interface for a short while).

You are correct, the Roku streams those types of media. Time Warner did sign up but you have to be an existing customer or they have to provide their service in your area.
