Help to open VLC and using MyPrograms! (1 Viewer)

[vermin]

Hi, I'm big fan of the Ned guy inside the British production "Balls of Steel" and likewise him I'll keep it simple.

I want help with two things.
1. How to open VLC using Mediaportal.
2. How to install & use MyPrograms inside MediaPortal.

What I'm meaning by that is; I to launch the external media player VLC (VideoLAN) every time I open a movie/series inside MP.

Next I like to get a concise description on how to make the plug-in MyPrograms work inside MP. Install, configure, set-up, etc.. the whole sha-bang.

I be very happy if someone can help with either of the problems.

Thanks in advance, and also congratulations to the MP team for making one of the best Multi-Media Center ever.

I think you'll find plenty of information on using vlc as an external player with mp if you search the forums.

I believe your right. I did find a great help using DaMaster's guide and by using that got the first problem outta the way. Now, I'm just having problem with MyPrograms. And also worth mention; I've found and used the following link for downloading the plug-in. But when I tries to open it I get an error message.

Link to MyPrograms (Which don't seems to work):
MEDIAPORTAL - free media center - My Programs (MPI)

You mind posting a link as to what information you found under DaMaster's guide? I haven't been able to find much help using VLC to open DVD folders using the DVD structure, not ISO's, or AVI's. I have VLC working with MediaPortal using AVI's, but not my ripped DVD's.

Thanks for any help.

With pleasure. The thread also contains of some easy following guidelines on how to install a few audio/video plug-ins. Further more, I highly recommend to also look into the third paragraph as all three: StreamedMP skin, TvSeries plugin, and MovingPictures is about the best additional tools I've seen in years.

Hope that helps!
