[QUOTE="BadMrFrosty, post: 483914, member: 96262"] Hello, I have just discovered Media Portal and so far I really like what I see :) I'm hoping someone will take the time to answer a few questions that I have: 1. How scalable is Media Portal, especially the Moving Pictures plugin? The reason I ask is that I started my HTPC adventure with VMC + MyMovies. This became less and less responsive as I added more and more media. I then switched to MediaBrowser (Superb interface) which improved things for a while but failed with things like always complaining about missing shares when my NAS was sleeping. I don't want to migrate all of my library over to Media Portal just to find it unresponsive with very large collections. 2. How can I change the charset that subtitle display uses? When I go into the subtitle config section I can only choose western script. I need eastern european for my Czech subtitles to display correctly. 3. I have TV set up which is fine for SD digital TV. When I try to view a MPEG 4 HD channel (Prima HD in the Czech Republic) I get a strip in the center of the screen which is about 1/5 the width of my TV which shows an extremely zoomed in view of the picture.
