Thanks,, this is what I like to see, taking proactive steps to solving problems. I will test it out shortly.

I am not technically proficient in this area to investigate it properly. Basically this only happens to be a passing hobby of mine. Added to that, I'm sure MS would be willing to donate a copy of Win7 to the MP Team for testing and development purposes. Why not?

On MC/Win7 you don't need a third-party encoder or decoder. MP already detects MC/Win7 decoders. So why not use the encoders too that if they aren't hardcoded into MC/Win7? I agree the MC/Win7 decoders give a very nice, smooth quality picture like on a real TV.

I tried using the bundled Mainconcept encoder with my Hauppague HVR900 card but it never worked. I don't believe the encoder is Win7 compatible. Why can't MP use the MC7 encoder instead? Or is it too integrated into MC/Win7 ??

Am I correct in thinking there will be a software encoder for hybrid TV cards included in the new MP?

No it won't work as that encoder is not Win7 compatible.

Indeed, constructive criticism will make for a better product. Suggest 1 does matter. After all, MP is a computer application. One might want to watch TV whilst doing other work on the system. Then maybe switch again to FS later and then Windowed mode later. I really can't see a problem why 1...

It may well be, but for basic TV viewing, which I would say counts to 95% of watching TV, MC is more enjoyable.

MP needs to improve on two very basic issues. I understand these will be implemented in the forthcoming version 2. So consider this a reminder if anything. To iterate, the two issues are basic but vital to improve the experience of MP on a fundamental level. These before anything else...

Re: AW: MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC1 - RELEASED pfff.. it's disgusting :wtf:

Yes I had everything set up correctly. I later learned that the version of FFDShow I was using, 3094, was a Beta version and may not have been fully compatible with MP. I switched to an earlier release of FFDShow which managed to work fine. So I might suggest try one of the stable releases of...

I'm giving this a go: - FFDShow 3094 (03 Oct. 2009) - MP 1.1 Beta 1 SVN 23831 (1.04.23831) TV is unstable when switching to new channel. Selecting TV Off then On again restores a stable image. I am using FFDShow both as a decoder (libmpg) and filter. My feeling is this is related to...
