Hi,
First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for the time and energy you all spend in making Media Portal such a great HTPC. I've recomended the use of it to almost everybody I know and I also tried once to help you with the development of the bi-directional GUI but that was long long time ago...
Anyway, I recently purchased a new PC for my MP (Intel i7, 4GB RAM, 2TB HD, Nvidia video card with HDMI support, Haupauge PVR 150 TV capture card) and now I have a few issues that I couldn't find any solution for yet and some other issues that I think that I found a solution for but I'm not sure if it's the optimal one or not. Well, here they are:
1. I cannot get weather information. When I click "Weather" in the home screen I get a message about an invalid license key. I searched the forum and found others complaining about the same issue and saying that you're working on it right now and I should just be patient. Is that so?
2. I cannot play BDMV files (ripped from Blue-Ray DVDs). I also searched the forums and found others having the same issue. From what I could understand I sould use a different player but I couldn't understand how it will impact the ability to play other films nor how should I do that.
3. I cannot use "Online Videos" to play content from YouTube (or any other site for that matter). I get a list of all the videos, when I click any of them I get a message asking me to choose the desired resolution (it doesn't matter which one I choose), but when I choose one of them I get a message saying that it can't play the selected video at the given URL (the URL appears in the message). Couldn't find anything really relevant in the forums.
4. I would like to use Skype from within Media Portal to place and answer Skype phone calls and Skype video calls. Is it possible? If so, what do I have to do in order to make it happen?
5. I would like to be able to browse the internet from within Media Portal. Is that possible? Does it support Flash and Silverlight?
