I made an illustrated guide here how to disable the standard home screen and use the basic one. You want it the other way around, I guess you could adopt the method for the standard home screen also (you simply need the skinID of the standard homescreen for ShortCut'er and assign "h" to this skinID).

Hi there, Well I thought I'd report back as I seem to have found the source of the problem! After trying different codecs, messing around with disk drives to try and improve this problem, the backend servers' CPU heatsink wasn't installed properly. The stream would break up and hang every time the heatsink moved away from the...

I am not an expert, but my understanding is that MP records the files in the native format which is it transmitted in. As a standalone application it this single format does everything required and does not required any licensing etc. Clearly there are people all over the world who do different things with their recorded programmes...

Well there is an Alpha build that was released recently, that's probably what that user had found bugs in. The Alpha was pretty stable by all accounts, but there has been significant work done to 1.2.0 since then. I'm looking forward to the release, it should be a very good version of MP.

XviD with AC3 works fine in MP. Do you have AC3 codec/filter configured in MP config (and set it to passthrough sound to SPDIF) ?

I have now finish my antenna installation and have zero issues. :D My next problem I am going to encounter I think is getting my HTPC to all TVs in the house. :S Current thoughts are a VGA to svideo cable, a mini jack to RCA audio cable and an RF modulator at my coax junction point. Thoughts please? Thanks!

So what I am doing wrong? Can it be that this happens because I am using a German Win7?

MP1 MP2 Feature request DE
This isn't something you are likely to ever see with MP1. The current system has no concept of client level access, a client is either connected or it isn't, that's about it. However, various aspect of client level controls or user controls have been discussed for MP2. I don't know what the current thinking is in this regard, but I...
