[QUOTE="shepscrook, post: 671954, member: 107872"] As dumb as this is, I'm testing MediaPortal for the first time in quite a few years and I noticed that there's a weather section in the menu system. However, when I go to it, everything is question marks. I've checked in the "settings" section but cannot find a way to change the weather to be local weather. Is the MKV container supported? Is there a plugin or ability to skip commercials for recorded shows? I have 800 movies stored on a NASbox and each movie has a folder.jpg as well as most have some form of xml data on the movie (Windows Media Center setup), is there any way to have a similar setup, or even more automated method of categorizing these movies for MediaPortal? Would you say Media Portal is less of a resource hog than Windows Media Center? (I have 800 movies getting scanned over the network everytime I enter my movie section of WMC and it's a bit laggy. I guess I'm looking into other viable options that might perform better than WMC for my media use. MediaPortal and XMBC are the two main options that I think are out there that have a large amount of support so that's why I'm looking here, as I don't believe XMBC has tuner support (I might be incorrect about this as I haven't looked all that deeply yet into XMBC) Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
