In vista, is there a way to make media portal automatically run a DVD when I stick it in the DVD drive? Windows doesn't give me the option to select mediaportal as a default dvd playback program.

Hi
As far as I know it is not possible when MediaPortal is closed.
MediaPortal is meant to be always running as HTPC app. Therefore no startup arguments to pass specific file/dvd playback on startup.
When already running, it will pick up DVD and ask if you want to play.

Fixed, I think.
Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this.

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...
