I am not a programmer, but if someone can start to point me to the right direction I can try to do something useful for all.
Most of the bugs were very simple to solve.
It's only a matter of time to spend finding the solution.
I looked at giving it a go but it seems to need a fairly serious commitment, around 1GB download before you get started, the is the main source code via SVN, the compiler software (visual C#) and the DirectX SDK. see also http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/MediaPortalDevelopment . the C languages are also very difficult to follow. I am considering writing my own Mediaportal type application, but I am very Early at the moment an it is quite possible it will not get off the ground.
If you are serious about doing some work then go for it, I'm sure more people working on Mediaportal can only be a good thing.
