Sh4nn0w: Ok, so after reading about your setup and reading other stuff on the web I think I know what I want to do. I think I want to build a PC/server with Windows 7 (I assume professional?). I want to install the OS and the other programs on an SSD HD, then I want to use 2 or 3 2TB HDs in RAID 5 for redundancy. All my media...

MP1 MP2 24p not smooth in Mediaportal (2 Viewers) DE
I've done a lot of tests last weekend and so far there is no real solution but setting Motion Plus to Clear or accept that from time to time there is a little hop. I've searched a lot on the internet and also found that a lot of people have this issue. The strange thing is that when I play the same movies throught the AllShare option...

WOW that's much more than I was hoping for, Thanks Zoidberg. I haven't actually got it working, yet... dunno why, the remote functions work but nothing will stream. Fiddle with something for long enough and it'll work though. I do have a 100Mbit LAN here and it's only an 11g connection to the Xoom, might be part of the problem...

New to MP as well. It works well. I wanted to use SteamMP add-on but when I do to pick any file, it errs with a PATH error, tells me to exit MP, and use MP Configuration to set import paths.

MP1 MP2 Setup Issues DE
Hi Rich, ( I see there is another reply but my 2 cents) The USA EPG is a bit frustrating and a scavenger hunt. You need to look for info in the EPG forums https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/forums/electronic-program-guide.67/ for WebEPG and/or xmltv. I've been able to get 2 options to work. Either option will give a basic EPG with...

Hi all I've just set up MP 1.2.2 and have a few problems. The most annoying atm is the thumbnail display when highlighting a media file. The thumbs are squashed in the horizontal axis, more so than even taking a 1080 HD snapshot and squashing it onto a 4 : 3 screen. I attached a screengrab to show what I mean. The skin is Default...

Hi Raymond, The short answer is yes, but.... you would need more kit. MP works on a server/client basis. In order for the projector and 3 TV's to display different movies, you would need additional PC's to connect to the projector and 3 TV's and these could get their streaming info from you existing PC (depending on the spec of...

I had the same problem. Most of your channels are set to grab info from Yahoo. The problem is that the Yahoo website no longer works as it used to, so WebEPG can't grab the info from it. In fact, there technically is no more Yahoo TV site anymore, as it is now run by Zap2It. The channels which you did grab successfully came from...
