Basic Home Screen Only & TGB help pls (1 Viewer)

[geoffw]

Hey

Couple of areas of improvement remaining, then i'm not going to touch a thing!

Issues 1 - i like Streamed MP basic screen, however if i push TGB in the basic home screen then i get the deluxe homescreen, which while nice looking isn't my preferred home screen. I then push TGB again to alt back to basic. How can i disable non-basic (deluxe?) screen for all time?

Issue 2 - can i remap TGB within MP to start MP.....i can achieve using 3rd party apps (LM Remote Keymap) which i am trying to uninstall, as all i use LM for is startign mp if i have been playing in the OS?

Tip . Acronis True image worth weight in gold, infact any imaging software. Saves mucho time.

Cheers

Geoff

Hi Geoff,

To disable the "non-basic" home screen follow this thread:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-development-no-feature-request-here-48/unsupported-mod-ability-disable-either-basic-home-home-screen-updated-49811/

To get The Green Button on your MCE Remote to start MediaPortal use this:

MEDIAPORTAL - free media center - MpTrayMod

I use this and it works well.

Hope this helps,
Andrew

Cheers

Frontends

This is probably the wrong area to ask this but if I wanted to set up the following:

1. MediaMVP frontend or build my own that has supports HD content (HDMI port or Comp.), and can off-load graphics processing from HTPC backend if need be.

(I would prefer having the HTPC on the backend record content since I haven't found any info if frontend clients can maintain the level of video quality like a full blown dvr/htpc can)

2. If a frontend client system that can support HD doesn't exist or one can't be hacked together, then how would I supply content to multiple hdtv's in various areas of my home? Would I install long HDMI cables or RG-6 coax with an amplifier from my htpc?

Thanks.

I made an illustrated guide here how to disable the standard home screen and use the basic one. You want it the other way around, I guess you could adopt the method for the standard home screen also (you simply need the skinID of the standard homescreen for ShortCut'er and assign "h" to this skinID).
