MP1 MP2 Framework? DE
Wow, this is great software, but why use .NET to write it with? Having the framework on my PC REALLY slows down the startup time. Anyone remember when developing software in VC only required smaller runtimes? And was fast? MSFT really hosed us with this .NET garbage.

Hello Just trying out MP for the first time. Looks great and scans DVB channels using my hybrid Compro T750 VideMate just fine, however problems occur when I try to scan analog channels (which is what I'm really after). "Unable to scan The graph building. Mostly your card is not supported by TvServer" Is there a fix for...

I have the awesome Multishortcut plugin configured to open PowerDVD whenever I want to watch a Blu-ray disc - great feature ever since my standalone deck died.

As you have set the TVService to run under Administrator could you check that the Administrator can sucessfully see the share you want to save recordings too? (Log on as Administrator and run the configuration). Then map the drive while logged in as administrator (I'm not sure this will work for but it's the best bet if you can't see...

I'd been enjoying Moving Pictures a lot, using it to play my DVD and Blu-ray .iso files. And I'd used it for a few physical DVD discs, which showed up automatically in my list of movies after inserting it, since I do have the 'Automatically Import Inserted DVDs' checked. But today was the first time I inserted a physical Blu-Ray disc...

Hi fox_fsvlfs The TV Server part of MediaPortal uses MySQL by default (this used to be MS SQL Server Express and this can still be used if preferred). It uses the database to hold details of TV tuning parameters, channel info, EPG, recorded programme info etc. I think it uses this so it is accessable for clients both on the same PC...

It should work.

Hi San First of all,you need an account to get into conversation at this place. What you did is just possible as a startup. Anyway, this is the wrong place to get help and the product is mismatching to your use. What I can say is, MediaPortal is the best you can get on a Windows platform, specifically if you need support for DVB...

Hi again I have had a good look at your logs. I see that you tuned 2 times to a channel called "vtm". The first time is successful but the second time is not. Did the reception freeze while you were making the logs? I can't see any freeze problem in the logs. Having said that, I understand what you are saying. It sounds like one or...

Thanks mate seemed to work OK, seems I still need to do some tweaking but that's a pretty normal thing I guess. Only thing I don't like is that Audioscrobbler just takes art work and I can't seem to change it so it's grabbed some wrong info. Will have to look into whether FanArt Handler can over ride that info and also whether or not...

MP1 MP2 compares to... DE
No, you can't compare them. Both are media servers which can support media devices like xbox or, at least the way they started, the Dlink DSM series. You can't do that with MePo. On the other hand, there is no way in hell to work with live tv in either one of both. Result? You're comparing apples to oranges.

Hi there, With MP2 confirmed as only designed for Windows 7, I thought I would ask which version is the best to get (as I might have to take the plunge soon).
