Just a general question to everyone. What is the best codecs to select in MediaPortal after installing SAF 6.

The majority of my viewing is avi (Xvid), mkv, TV & Recorded TV.

Cheers,

Sam.

    If you have an nvidia graphics card, CoreAVC is a great h264 video decoder.. not free tho.
    Windows7 has a great mpeg2 video decoder(dvd, australian tv uses mpeg2 also) - comes with win7 and not before.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

The OS and the MP2.5 Server Software were installed several times new, but in general nothing changed. Are there any changes or setting needed for...

I set it to Maximum Performance. I tried many other things so it could be a combination of them, but this was the last thing I did and I haven't had the problem return...

    MP1 MP2 MP2 - V2.3 EPG has stopped DE
    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. -- from CyberSimian in the UK
