Hi kOT!

Im an aussie MP user also.

Ive found Win7 is the best OS for MP for we aussies. I REALLY RECOMMEND IT! Dvb tv here is broadcast in mpeg2.. and win7 has a native mpeg2 decoder that is probably the best ive ever used!

When you use the StreamedMP skin, you need to run the StreamedMP Editor (there should be a shortcut). Put a tick in the checkbox of the section you want to be the default... i use the "my tv' secton. There are a TON of options in the streamedMP skin setup app(not the mp setup app!), even changing the background picture of each section, which i think is very cool. It will ask you if you want MP to use the "home screen" when you have finished setting it up.

For DVD.. u have to find and install Cyberlink Powerdvd first.

As for the SQL server MP requires..its best to start fresh without any SQL on your system, when you install MP it does everything for you(install and configure during the MP install).

Check out the StreamedMP section on the forums for what they support(usually almost everything) - StreamedMP - MediaPortal Forum

Solved problem with EPG Was my HTPC clock

any idea why

A) you need to eject and reinsert a disk to get it to play?

b) amp still says dolby 5.1 not working (wrote email to Cyberlink) nothing heard yet..

cheers

A) eject/reinsert? - you can go into My Videos and click on "Play DVD" or if you are good with the StreamedMP editor you can add "Play Disc/Bluray/DVD" (same thing) to the home menu. If you have a blu ray player and want to play blurays, then grab BD Handler plugin here - https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/bluray-handler-0-9-7-beta-81068/ or look up the Mediaportal Extensions Installer shortcut on your desktop

B)
i)You got a few options here. One is SAF 6 : https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-331/saf-v6-00-based-lavf-95635/
ii)I you want Powerdvd, the lastest version is v11... may be worth your time to update it =) .
iii)Another option : if you want great audio to your amp(using SP/DIF) try the MPC-MPA audio decoder. Find inside the MP directory the file mpadecfilter.ax. Double click it or click Start, Run, cmd -> ( go to the mp direcotory on your pc) type: regsvr32 mpadecfilter.ax . Its normally disabled but it works a treat for me. Then you will need to set it up in the MP config app before it will work.
