[QUOTE="Datman7, post: 362273, member: 87282"] MediaPortal looks like the perfect app for me but I'm having trouble getting started. My first test is to play a standard purchased DVD on my TV. I'm not having much luck. I've got a couple of problems. 1) The DVD plays fine on my digitally connected computer screen. The connection to the TV is analog. So far the only player that has worked is media player classic. Windows media player complains about not having the right codec for analog. MP hangs up at the same place so I assume I'm seeing the same problem without the message. I have followed the install instructions posted on AV forum and here which seem take the same MPC codecs and register them for general use. But maybe not. Unfortunately I don't know much about codecs so let me know what you need to know and I'll reply. 2) On neither the computer screen nor the TV do I ever see the FF/REW/Pause/chapter skip/etc row of controls when I am playing the DVD in the screen. If I back up to the main menu where the video is in a small box, I get the controls I want at the top of the screen. I need those controls to appear when the mouse is moved in full screen mode. I assume these controls are different than the OSD I see when I toggle the Y key. When I use that, I only get a toggle for pause/play and a time bar. If I get the DVD player working I will then move on and invest in an AverMedia A180 card for HD capture. But I need to be convinced first that I know how to make this work with a simple DVD playback.
