Hello I am trying to set up MediaPortal, and is trying to scan for channels. In the preset list of providers, my provider is not on the list, so I would try to do a scan using a single transponder. When I do that, TV-server configuration closes without warning. It's the same if I try "search for transponder list". I have a Digital...

Thanks for your reply, I am unsure how much load Vector adaptive de-interlacing puts on the GPU, but thought one of those cards should do the job. I would like to be able to watch a 1080p movie whilst recording 1 or more tv stations without worrying about running into any problems. Cheers

MP1 MP2 DVBfix for XP with Media Centre 2005 (1 Viewer) DE
Forgive the first post to an old topic, yet this info should be relevant. actually, if you have installed windowsxpmediacenter2005-kb925766-enu through Windows Update (source of psisdecd.dll & psisrndr.ax - version 6.5.2715.3011), DVBfix likely will roll back to previous versions included in DVBfix (unconfirmed).

I personally use the MCE USB receivers and they work great. I have one that was branded for HP, and one that was branded for Dell. Both of which work with standard MCE remotes and also have built in IR emitters. The reason I like these so much is because they each have numerous IR receivers in them and it will pick up the signal from...

Hi tourettes, makes sense - it sounds to me like the key thing here is that MP2 is still a fair way from being at the same state as MP1, hence it makes sence to provide incremental MP1 releases to iron out bugs, etc. And totally agree that a developer can work on any version of any piece of open source software. thanks - Scott

Hi Rubber_Chicken lol If this is a very clean install and no extra codecs\filters have been installed, then I suggest using the desktop MP extensions installer to install the LAV filters, you will need to do a online update to get the latest available list. Now under every section of MP config\codecs and renderers, select LAV for...
