So far it seems to be working pretty well out of the box. All my existing status from Mediaportal synced successfully to Kodi after installing and authorizing the script. Since then I've watched a couple of TV shows and a movie in Kodi, and the status synced back to Mediaportal fine. Obviously...

Thanks, good enough for me. I'll try and see what happens.

Has anybody tried syncing both MediaPortal and Kodi to the same trakt.tv account? Just wondering if they are likely to crap on each other.

I notice that the "Account ID" I have configured in the tvseries plugin isn't shown anymore in my dashboard on thetvdb.com, there is a "unique user key", which is a different number. Is "unique user key"= "account id"? Should I update?

So my project yesterday was to get my MCE remote working and perfectly mapped with the internal IR receiver of my Antec Fusion Remote case. I have pretty much succeeded using IRSS, great! However there is something I would like to know if I could do in a better way. There are some buttons on my...

I'm waiting for the next payday before buying a card. In the meantime, I found this feature matrix on nvidia.com - Video Encode and Decode GPU Support Matrix - showing the hardware encoding and decoding features supported by the various GPUs. Looks like the 1650 is the lowest one that ticks all...

Thanks, guys that's very interesting, I've definitely been put off the 1030 based on that info. I hadn't really thought about upscaling, I'll soon see if the upscaling on the TV is any good, it's not a high-end set. But from some quick research, noise levels of the 1650 might not be too bad, and...

This part of the forum seems pretty quiet, but I'll ask anyway. My ten year old 1080p TV finally died, and it seemed crazy not to replace it with a 4K set, so I have a 50" 4K Samsung arriving soon. But my HTPC currently only supports 1920x1200 max via integrated graphics. So if I'm going to make...

Good to know, thanks. I might have to bite the bullet and upgrade my machines this weekend, I had also been putting it off because of the MediaInfo thing.

So I guess you updated your sig after you wrote this post? You have no problems with 1.23 Final with the plugins you listed?

I guess it depends what features of MediaPortal you want to access, and what's available for your phone and tv. There is an Android app MPTvScheduler, which will run on your android phone (and maybe an android tv, idk), which will let you access the TV features of MediaPortal. I've never used it...

The issue with Ancient Aliens is explained on thetvdb forums - Ancient Aliens Seasons 9 and 10 Deleted - TheTVDB.com. I usually find that when I disagree with thetvdb, thetvdb turns out to be right. It can be a little inflexible, especially when a tv show is aired in different ways by different...

It goes in the same folder as the video, and with the same filename as the video, except with the ".nfo" extension.

Sorry, but you read that wiki page wrong. The idea of nfo files is to provide a text file as an *alternative* source of data to imdb. You can link it to an imdb entry, but you don't have to, and you can put anything you like in the nfo file. I just tested it, and it works fine, and seems to be...
