Hi all

Ok only down'd this today in view of replacing media center that ships with vista..

When running in full screen when i select a video file media portal will minamise...? if i restore nothing happens? however video is running as i can hear it??

Works fine in windowed mode though??

Cheers

Any one help? please?

It is pointless without fullscreen?

try setting dx exclusive mode in mediaportal setup. fullscreen does work for me. if your using a SVN version, try using an older one (go back maybe 10 versions). if your using the release version try a SVN, the release versions are no more tested than any random SVN version anyway, just labeled different and used as a base point for future SVNs.

as far as replacing mediacenter, by all means give it a go but be aware that it is not very stable, don't expect to just come out of suspend and watch TV in under 15 minutes but I believe it has more features that mediacenter (not sure how it compares if you only count working features, probably still more but I haven't really had much of a chance to look at vista mediacenter)

OK, I just liked, it must have been an old setting not relevant anymore, I though it was on the general options page but I don't see it. I don't really have any useful suggestions, make sure direct X is version 9 and working, but I would have thought that would have affected windowed as well. I take it your using the standard skin, if not try switching back to blue two and see if that makes a difference.

Sorry, I' not much help

DX exlcusive is found under the Direct show filters in the MP Configuration. See this wiki page MediaPortalSetup Filters - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

Thern select the Video Mixing Render 9 and in there will be a setting for exclusive mode.

Can your graphics run AERO, if so changing under Direct show filter, use EVR (enhanced video renderer).

looks like a bug to me - see another user with the same problem https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/newcomers-forum-240/problem-tv-tuner-35960/

But no HW specs from either regarding graphics, so no would not consider it a problem without knowing this.
