Hi,
As I found no real solution to make the remote keyboard work on my windows xp home installation, I decided to explore some options myself :) Once you followed through, the keyboard should have full navigation and keyboard functionality.
The solution is actually quiet easy:
1) Get MCE Rollup 2

Right click on the graph and select 'Add Counters'.
Then select the option to select counters from computer, and in the dropdown list type the UNC path to your mediaportal box eg. \\htpc
Once that is done then select the performance object 'processor' and counter '% Processor Time'.
That should be enough to get you up and running...

Awaiting a CD ripper plugin, this is how I configured a CD rip solution.
The idea is that I want Media Portal to play a CD when I insert one, but I want the CD to be ripped at the same time, so I don't have to use the actual CD again. This is an easy way of digitizing your CD collection.
Of course I don't want to be bothered by...

This sounds sweet. I have another dos program that I run, and the only way I have found to hid it is to use the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. For whatever reason this hides the dos window for me and the program I am using.

Hi folks,
MP or my computer sometimes crashes during recording and dvr-ms file is not finished. In this cases it is usually impossible to play ti, convert it to MPEG etc. I spend a lot of time on it and tried many programs and tricks, but no success (e.g. with Graph edit, VideoReDo, DVRToolbox and many other). Finally I found program...

A big old warning here. It sucks. Playing back xvid files with advanced features (qpel. gmc etc) causes major artifacting and crashes. To get rid of this nuisance while keeping the pristine dvd codecs, simple open a command prompt window and do the following.
cd \program files\intervideo\dvd6
regsvr32 /u mp4vdec.ax

I also use the GB-PVR recording service. it's nice to now that tv will be recorded aslong as my pc is on.

I leave in Austria, and the built-in search only find a few cities ( should be a limitation from weather.com)
The solution is very simple :
Choose a location, save it.
for me it was Vienna, Austria AUX000025
then go to weather.com, there you will probably find a city nearer from you ( for me it was scheibbs (only 10 KM from...

Before anyone tweaks, MCE apparently encrypts recordings that are made for pay channels such as HBO. These steps describe how to convert them to MPG using Graphedit. Note that this has to be done on the MCE machine the programs were recorded on and this is *not* a guide on how to get any pay channels for free with MCE or MP.

Hi,

I bought an Abit VT7 mobo (which has a VIA chipset) for my HTPC and was having exactly the same problem. No matter what I did I couldn't stop it from artifacting. After buying an Asus mobo my problem was fixed.
I am still struggling to get a refund from the supplier as the mobo says in it's specs that it would run with my video card.
