Mediaportal runs fine on my PC, I can watch my videos... But how do I go about reading these videos from my TV ? what are the networking requirements ?

Thanks, but is there a way to network this ? My Mediaportal PC is located in the basement...
I've been reading up on HDMI 1.4 and ethernet, is that feasible ?

    Options:
    * another Client near to your TV
    * Wlan HDMI (never tried it, i guess you will loose quality)
    * when you have SmartTV than you have maybe also an option

    As above

    - Move MePo PC to lounge
    - Client PC in the lounge
    - HDMI extender. You can get 10m with a long HDMI cable any longer than this and the signal isn't strong enough.
    For longer distances you can get an HDMI signal amplifier or an HDMI-Ethernet (Cat5e) adapter, or an HDMI wireless adapter.

    SmartTV - This will not be an option with MP1, but when MP2 is complete it will support uPNP/DLNA so you can connect a DLNA/uPNP enabled TV to MP2 over the network

    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.

    Well, I had already recognized your problem, but I still wanted to point out the basic connections once again. Unfortunately, I don't have a fundamentally different solution for you, but with this approach you should achieve your goal. ;) The idea of first setting the current genre colors with the defines is certainly a good one, as...

    To other people reading about this 'issue', Doskabouter provided me with a fix/patch. It is a modified version of tswriter.ax which solved the problem with dolby digital plus audio. I want to thank Doskabouter for all his time and energy he put into resolving this!!

    When I am trying to get some hardware or software to work and I am experiencing problems, my usual procedure is: simplify, simplify, simplify. That means avoid making choices that may not work; instead make the "standard" choice, which is often simply accepting the default. A static IP address is known to work with MP1. An address...
