Just a quick question: using latest W8.1 and MP1.6, is it already working to boot directly into MP and bypass Metro and have to wait additional startup time? Is it working as it is basically as with W7? Thanks!

Try using the MP Audio render (instead of reclock) and set it up as per the wiki it may help somewhat http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/9_Codecs_and_Renderer/3_MP_Audio_Renderer_(MPAR)/Configuration

In contrast, my new client machine which normally always sleeps, decided to stay awake until its scheduled...

if your System RAM + Video RAM > 4GB then definitely go for 64bit. Otherwise it's user choice, I'd still go with 64bit.

Yes MePo is a lot more powerful and has more features than openelec (XBMC) There is no Mediaportal front end for openelec. Openelec is XBMC + Linux operating system. Mediaportal uses windows operating system.

A snapshot method would be more reliable and useful for MediaPortal. You could calibrate in settings. by Toggling display on then off then on again as directed by configuration. I was hoping you would have a simple piece of code that could be used in c# console. eg. I could run the code when tv on + off and look for a difference...

Made some progress. The office PC was not using the MP client credentials, instead it logged on as guest (although the guest account is off).

It's a not supported configuration. And the footprint isn't smaller anyway....

No, it's the same. The only way I managed to fix this problem was by changing the graphics card from a GTX680 to a GTX980. The pin 19 trick never worked on the 680. It just caused MediaPortal to crash in a slightly more graceful way. Using a HDMI doctor worked 90% of the time but it seems like an expensive fix for what is...

Hi Hafblade. Very good point, I thought that it was simply windows resuming from sleep that made hard drives spin up. I shall test tonight with the side of my PC taken off.

off-topic, but I really hate CCC. From CCC 11.11+ onwards, my setting for overscan does not stick after a standby (let alone a reboot). So, I have been staying with 11.11.

Well I uninstalled VMware and rebooted. The high execution times I'm still seeing with ndis.sys and netbt.sys seem to be caused by Iron Portable (although I don't know why it wasn't causing them previously) but don't seem to make the latency unacceptably high, so I'm not too worried about those. However, when starting TV the first...

I've reset the FSB to 200 now and Standby works, but my PC still doesn't ever go to Standby/Hibernate automatically. TV Server PowerScheduler has "force system to go to standby when idle" disabled and the MP plugin is disabled, so Windows should be controlling Standby. The power settings are set to Put the Computer to Sleep after 1...

Yeah, I migrated to Win7 fairly recently, mainly for gaming and so I could use more than 4GB.

The reason why I suggested RAMdisk for timeshifting is that people have reported stuttering on their Live-TV when using both SSD and HDD, but that's gone away with the RAMdrive. But it's just a suggestion if you don't have this stuttering it's not needed. And you can always pick up one of these: OCZ Z-Drive R4 1.6TB PCIe 2.0 x8...

Hi there, Off the top of my head, the only two ways way I can think of are: Is to ensure the OS/BIOS is configured to wake on any packet to the network card. If you got into the Network card properties, it may be configured to Wake on LAN (WOL), but there may be an option to wake on any packet? (The only downside, depending on your...
