MP1 MP2 moving from WMC DE
dvr-ms is the old format, w7mc now uses wtv
dvr-ms is the old format, w7mc now uses wtv
I like the look of Windows Media Centre, but it is just too buggy. Will my content recorded by WMC be available in Media Portal too?

Hi there, The codecs do not affect the format/size of the file. The file is being saved as a raw transport stream (TS file). The codec/splitters are purely used to play the TS file. The only thing that affects the size of the TS file is the resolution/quality of the broadcast. The only option you have with MePo, is to use a third...

Hi I think you may struggle for under £30. The Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1100 Ray suggested is £34.97 from Amazon so not much over. I find Hauppauge products work well with MediaPortal and Hauppauge seem reasonable for support. I have used a WinTV PVR-500, two WinTV HVR-4000s and am currently using one of the WinTV HVR-4000s and a...

You will have to manually collect the logfiles if the problem is in 3rd party plugin. Make sure log verbosity is set to debug in MP Configuration. Start MP Reproduce issue Close MP Zip the log directory If it is a problem with that plugin, you should probably rather post it in the relevant plugin forum section.

If issue 749 never gets implemented you could always randomise the intro yourself. Create a folder with video files in and then set the intro video to a file elsewhere. You then just need a script to copy a random file from your intros folder to the the file you've specified in Moving Pictures at regular intervals. I haven't tried...

MP is designed to output video via the PC HDMI and not for streaming to a non-MP client. - so I suspect the answer is no. Robbo100

Hey thanks MM, That worked a treat. You were right - all the channels are there. There's no indication of how to scroll down. Is there a reason why there's no indication? Maybe a scroll bar would be a good idea, or page numbers or something. Thanks anyway, Darren.

AW: Streaming over home network Are you using MediaPortal? If yes, setup TVServer on one laptop and the media portal client on the other. Called multiseat setup. Wifi is not best, but for SD should work, HD depends on the wireless throughput that you can realize (WLAN n standard?) Regards Flintstone

DO your tracks have proper album cover embedded? You need both the folder.jpg and the art embedded to each track as that's what MP will show for that particular track.
