Thanks for the information. Can you tell me which mpeg-2 decoders are the most recommendable and that can use hardware accerleration? They don't have to be free. If there is a excellent decoder that is not free, thats no problem. I think it is one of the most important softwares on my HTPC...
Maybe the hardware is from importance too. I have a Nvidia 6150 onboard. And I mostly watch DVB-S here in Europe. The TV Card is a Hauppauge Nova-S Plus. And of cause I also watch DVD's.

I installed the trial for Nvidia Purevideo now and selected the Nvidia Decoder in Mediaportal. But I still have a 100% CPU usage while watching TV or DVD. I think the hardware acceleration isn't activated yet. Were do I activate it?
Did you enable the Nvidia Purevideo Decoder for both TV and DVD ? The tick for HW acceleration is in the PureVideo Settings Dialog under Directshow Filter in MediaPortal configuration.exe
What is your CPU ? Because even with a software decoder you shouldn't reach 100% with the minimal CPU recommendation !

I activated Purevideo for TV and DVD. Hardware Acceleration is enabled in the Pure Video options.
I also have only the TV connected to the PC, so I think it is the primary screen. But I'm not sure about it.
I have a A64bit 3000+ Manila for AM2.

Are different people taking turns watching the same thing on the same HTPC?
For me, separating users in MP2 is a drawback, as is the interface.
Simply put, this can't be done in MP1, or rather, it can't be done quickly, because everything would have to be rewritten.

I am running a Xubuntu machine as a server with all my movies and series on it, I run a VirtualBox VM with Windows 10 installed on the virtual machine and MP1 client installed on that.
MP runs fine on the VM but I no longer have a tv tuner to test if passthrough is possible. I don't think it would work anyway.

Sorry, it's my fault -- I did not notice that you are using MP2. :(
MP1 has a separate configuration utility, similar to "TV Server Config". I have tried MP2 only a couple of times, and have never used it seriously. I don't know what MP2 supports with regard to adjusting audio delay, but I do know that all of the adjustments of...
