Hi guys, I’m using BSPlayer as my movie player in MP. Since I wanted to use the Hauppauge remote also for this player I attached a section for the irremote.ini for BSPlayer according to Flipger’s description ( http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=621 ). It took me quite a while to find the...

If you got the radio icons working, then I assume you have worked out the whole thumbs thing already. I don't think it's possible with Messenger at this stage. Would be good if it was though. If I'm wrong, let me know. I would like to set this up too.

Apparently there is an issue with USB TV Tuners that this patch can fix. The issue is that it has brief freezes with 100% CPU usage for a second or two at random intervals. I am...

I got tired of adding my Channel numbers everytime I did a clean install of MediaPortal so I came up with this script. Your channel name format must be Numer Name (5 WTTG), because this script splits the name @ the space and takes the first array. Install Apache and PHP5 (with SQLite support) on your MediaPortal PC. Copy and...

Hi Guys - MP currently can't use technologies like Cleartype, well it can but my experiments with it so far haven't proved to be very useful (there are points in the code that can be changed to change the way that the font files are generated). So what do you do to get rid of the harsh edges? Open the font .png files in an...
