MediaPortal 1 and 2 look great - and everyone raves about the feature set. I'd love to use either of them, but with all the smart devices on the market today - smart blu-ray players, smart TV's, roku devices, etc, etc - it makes no sense to connect a PC to every TV where I want access to my media library. I can't take MediaPortal (either version) seriously until it supports UPNP and/or DLNA so that every TV in my house already has access to the media served up by the MP server sitting on my media PC on my work room.
Oh - and one more thing - when you get around to adding DLNA support, don't forget on-the-fly transcoding so that these "smart" (stupid) devices can play my MP4 files - most of them will only play MPEGv2 video with AC3 audio wrapped in a very few container formats (WTV, TS, etc).
yes, saw that, but the development seems stopped and lacks the most important thing (imho):live tv.
There is plenty of upnp MEDIA servers, but, as far as i know, only dvbviewer serves live tv.

To other people reading about this 'issue', Doskabouter provided me with a fix/patch. It is a modified version of tswriter.ax which solved the problem with dolby digital plus audio.
I want to thank Doskabouter for all his time and energy he put into resolving this!!

Hi all,
I could use some help with the following;

The reason I was thinking I needed more RAM is that TV now seems to be HiDef and so the files have grown. I edit the files before storing them, to reduce some size. It is finding that slower, I think. Or it could just be because I'm expecting more? The Baseboard manufacturer says ASUSTech Computer Inc; Baseboard product P7P55D-E...

I'm not sure where to post this query - I've been told, during a conversation about costs of upgrading, that W11 may not support my...
The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release.
It is sometimes possible to use MP clients from a release that is different to the MP server, but whether it works depends on the specific changes that were made between the two releases.

So, you're power cycling the TV, but not putting the PC to sleep ?
In General => Startup/Resume settings, try checking "Ignore Windows resolution/size changes"
In Codecs and Render, try selecting the specific audio device rather than "Default DirectSound device"
Just ideas, no guarantee this will do anything.
If this doesn't work, I...
