Hi Everyone,
Been a WMC user since it 1st came out and have been happy with it, but recently started to get a little tired that essentially its the same ( although more stable ) as it was 10 years ago.
It plays all my media fine, linked to my server, reords tv etc but no Netflix is a pain and looking at Media portal it has apps etc and is constantly being updated ( which WMC isn't ), so have decided to have a look at it.
I have just a few questions if anyone can help me out.
Does Mediaportal wake the PC from sleep to record a TV program and then go back to sleep when finished?
I had a look at Mediaportal 2 but there doesn't seem to be any apps etc for it, is this still Beta or in development? Should I stick with Mediaportal 1?
And lastly, although im not sure I can, can I somehow map my media center remote to start mediaportal instead of MCE? Im guessing I cant.
Thanks in advance
