MP1 MP2 Master Volume Control (1 Viewer) DE
First of all I'd like to say that MediaPortal kicks WMC's ass. Fantastic program. My only problem is the sound. I know this has been covered before but nobody seems to have an answer or the answers given have not worked for me. Each time I start or restore MediaPortal (after minimising to the tray) the master volume on my...

Yes that is exactly it :) I just didn't had in my mind that a grabber and a plugin are different concepts. But that pretty much sums up what I said previously, in order to get away from folder view you'll need to run your stuff trought a grabber. But of course there isn't a grabber for offline data, because the idea of a grabber...

MovingPictures dB is stored in '\database' folder, and thumbs go into the '\thumbs\MovingPictures' folder, to that's all included.

Conversely, it output could be too low and the amp in the TV is trying hard to pull the volume up, so low level mains hum on the line is being amplified too - the low frequency would be far less noticeable on headphones. Suggest you try setting TV volume mid way, pick a short bit of film or music with good dynamic range and loop it...

Hi there, I can not speak for the Dev's of Mediaportal, but I can speak as a user (and active forum participant) for the last few years... I think I would be quite accurate in saying no. At present with Mediaportal 1, to get full benefits you need to run the Mediaportal client software, or a web/android/iphone based device to...

I completely agree with robbo100. Smart Tvs don't have the possibilities like a htpc. They are ok for consumers which don't have the technical knowledge but for people who like to have all the possibilities it is not the right solution. Often seen bad or missing features are: Recorded data is saved encrypted and can only be played on...

MP1 MP2 please recommend a usb tv tuner (1 Viewer) DE
Hi Justinbeaird Yeah, I think it should be generally okay, although I can't find any references to that product on Hauppauge's website. I note it is supported on Linux (link). If you want to try it with MP and analog cable you'll need a software encoding package to convert the analog cable signals to a digital format that the PC can...

Hi, Thanks a lot for the responses. I can see that I'm not the only one...

This is the error you get when trying to install a plugin that's not supported by your version of MediaPortal. Yahtzee only works with MediaPortal v1.1.1 and I'm guessing you're using a newer version MP.
