[QUOTE="Lupismaximus, post: 407512, member: 90620"] I hear what you are saying regarding installing MP on a system and expecting everything to work, but I haven't experienced this with any other front end I have tried (XBMC, SageTV, etc..) How you described the lag is exactly what I experience. No matter if I use the mouse to navigate or arrow keys, it takes a good 3 secs before my action is registered and processed. This is very odd, because all other front ends are immediate. I really want to like MP, based on all the features, but if I can't resolve this basic problem, then I will have to look to alternatives. I would have gone for the XBMC, but it doesn't have the live TV, PVR, or time shifting features that MP has. Sage TV does it all, but I don't want to spend the money beyond what I am investing into my HTPC. Boxee has the lead when it comes to IPTV (hulu) and streaming music (Pandora), but who knows when their Windows based front end will release and again it lacks the live TV features I ultimately seek. I am trying to avoid MS VMC, but it sure is pretty. I am sure we are doing something wrong, because I see all the posts from other successful users. Also, things may change on a dedicated HTPC, but that build will not be done for a month or so. Then I will be posting on all the other config issues I encounter. LOL <Bully> Out of curiosity, what version of DirectX are you using? I think that this may have something to do with it, since MP is coded around DX9 and not DX10. [/QUOTE]
