Maybe this is a very obvious tip.
When trying to sort out lipsync problems with my TFT TV I found that the best program for solving this are gameshows.
Find a gameshow where candidates have to answer with just one word. That way it's easy to see if your in sync or not.
For my TFT I used the ffdshow delay function to correct...

Hi,
There are some quite interesting posts on other HTPC forums about this issue. It seems my "jerky" video from timeshifting live TV after doing some FBW/FFW could be related to this particular bug in DX9.0c. However, I don't have this problem when using the internal MPEG2 codec...

No luck. It crashed at the splash screen. Had the foresight to back up the original so everything's working again. That's OK, I can wait for 0.2.0

The disadvantage of using say a 32KB cluster is that a 1 byte file will actually take up 32KB on disc, so if you have many small files you end up wasting large amounts of storage space.
In Windows Explorer right-click on a small file (try and kind one under 4KB) and choose Properties, there you'll see two sizes reported, the actual...

A quick tip (learnt the hard way!) if you are using a USB soundcard (E.G. Soundblaster Extigy) and a USB capture card (E.G. Hauppauge WinTV-PVR USB2) even if they are both USB2 (and should therefore have the bandwidth to cope) do not connect them to the same controller on your PC. Most PC's now have 4 (or more) USB ports on the back...

If you're like me, and you would rather have MP to ask for the movie title instead of a number when you select a movie, heres a fix :
1. Start docs/SQLite Database Browser.exe
2. Open database/VideoDatabaseV5.db3
3. Execute the following sql statement : update movie set discid = (select strtitle from movieinfo where movie.idmovie...

Bitbyte,
I'm glad you got your DTV to work. I'm not as fortunate. I've been trying to get MPExtuneCmd to work with a external program that changes channel via a IR Blaster, without any success. The program to control the IRBlaster works perfectly from a CMD Window in Win XP but I have tried everything I know and not able to get the...

Well done Robert ! I really like your solution. Previously I used the EPG Manager to download the pregrabbed xml files, but this gave me way too much information in the tvguide.xml for channels I did not have. When searching in the guide using the mp-webinterface I ended up with non-valid results because of this. But now I really find...

I had problems with TV losing sync (flashing black and white / a little bit badly formed picture) for a short period with my NVidia 5200 when :
1) timeshifting was turned on / off
2) channel was changed with timeshifting on
Enabling "Force TV Detection" in Display properties -> Advanced -> NVidia tab -> Tools solved this.

To manipulate the Media Portal SQLite3 databases via JDBC, you can use the JDBC driver from: http://www.ch-werner.de/javasqlite/
Following the instructions worked for me. For a general DB GUI client, I use DBVisualizer (http://www.minq.se/products/dbvis/), although any Java based client will probably work. This setup allows me to...

The SQL would be something like this (I didn't test it):

Hi All!
I made a little program that allows you to visually export information from iTunes music library into several formats. At the moment, only m3u, pls, and xml are supported. With xml, a properly structured xml file is created and can be used in plugins or on the web.
Please test it out and tell me what you think

Fyi, the popular dtvcontrol.exe for controlling certain DirecTV settops via serial control did not work for me out-of-the box with my D10-100 settop. (I was just trying to use the included GUI.
