Hi, if someone is still looking for a way to control MP via remote (Technisat TS35, SS2 official remote control), I've updated a gml file I've found around and it is working perfectly (together with Winlirc). Which is the best way to share it?

Unfortunately DLR does not have the complete set of images. When you get them from weather.com, all pictures are the same, only the graphics change, which causes a really nice effect. Give it a try! ;-)

Thank you for the excellent tip PJ. I (from US), built my reciever from parts at radio shack costing about $6 total. Here is the site: http://lnx.manoweb.com/lirc/ It works well but now you got me too excited. Connecting the serial to WOL pins makes sense. Wasn't thinking of this before. Thank you very much.

MP1 MP2 DVD: 5.1/AC3 sound through SPDIF (2 Viewers) DE
Crash. 1. MPGAUDIO.AX is only needed if you want to use the generic DVD codecs to play back the AC3 stream in an AVI file. You have FFDShow installed and therefore this will handle it for you. 2. Post a detailed question in the General Support forum DMAN

A big old warning here. It sucks. Playing back xvid files with advanced features (qpel. gmc etc) causes major artifacting and crashes.

MP has support for reading those tags by default (I think it is actually the tagreader you found, but it is now integrated in MP). So you you should not add extra things. If you are having problems with reading those tags post a message in the support area of the forums.
