Hello, "Automatically add optical disk drives" was already checked. So, I decided to click "Add" and manually add the bluray drive. Now the drive shows up in MP and, with DVDFab Passkey Lite, MP plays the Bluray perfectly! Thanks

Hi, I'm pretty new to MediaPortal. Despite searching the net, I still have no idea how to connect my Xtrend sat receiver running the latest OpenPli Enigma distribution to MP. In Windows, Kodi or MCE I just specify the receivers IP and all programms are collected on the spot and I can select and view them. How can this be achieved in...

MP1 MP2 MediaPortal2 issues DE
Hi Lehmden, Thanks for your speedy response. Its really appreciated. Your instructions for MP3Tag were excellent, but I couldn't import Album Art. The hidden Album Cover Art file is not in the Album Folder. It was there last week, before I upgraded to Windows 10, but now its no longer there. I've had enough of this issue now and...

Restarting service might have done it (I restarted the whole computer too). I had remembered to set HDHr to MP. I'm getting something now.

MP1 MP2 No active streams DE
Hello and welcome :) MediaPortal can't provide a solution to this problem... and nor can any other software I'm aware of. Getting a smaller file size requires re-encoding. As you have seen with your MCEBuddy experience, re-encoding is very hardware intensive (ie. takes a long time, uses a lot of CPU/GPU, power etc.). Unless you have...

Hello Yes it is. Note that MediaPortal doesn't use the EXTEND model's encoder features, so all your recordings will come out as per the original broadcast. From memory the only things you have to remember in order to get it working are: Set the "main application" or "application" setting in HDHR Setup to "MediaPortal". Configure...

MP1 MP2 TV Setup with a cable box (1 Viewer) DE
Hi In short, no... because the process varies widely depending on what kind of set top box you have, what kind of blaster you want to use, and how you get your guide data. You haven't mentioned or decided on any of those three things. Good luck with that. With guide data you mostly get what you pay for. The only free guide data...

Thanks for the response! I think I finally figured it out. for some reason, in the set top box settings, it was using the wrong IR codes. I played around (honestly not sure what I did to make it work) but it is working like a champ now.
