Hi, Since moving from 1.1.0 to the latest 1.1.1 i've noticed that after a while Mediaportal client hangs when trying to watch a tv stream. It can last a couple of days and then clicking on a channel causes no further response in the guide. If I click menu on the remote I can hear the sound mediaportal makes on key clicks, but the...

MP1 MP2 Jump to menus DE
My Harmony remote has buttons to directly access certain modules. It has a button for My Music, My Videos, My TV etc. Also I read about a new skin that is going to feature a 'quick jump menu' that is available on every page. Just don't remember which skin, perhaps the next version of StreamedMP? Not sure.

It was a name resolution issue on the LAN. As my machine has a static IP it hasn't registered its IP address in DNS. Even though I have...

I would go for Win7 as well. Your PC will be too slow for any HD movies or HDTV, but should hopefully run SD ok. I would recommend you install SAF5 (which includes haali mkv splitter) rather than just hali splitter alone. I would also install StreamedMP skin as it automatically installs the most popular plugins. Another good skin...
