[QUOTE="nhoffman82, post: 231398, member: 66245"] My system is hooked up like this: Hard drive array hooked up to good computer in basement, which is connected wireless through a router. In my room I have a good laptop hooked up to my plasma and receiver. Problem is, I can't watch Hi-Def movies because 1. not enough bandwidth wireless to stream hi-def, and 2. my laptop has s-video out, no hi-def. To my understanding unless I wanted to buy a whole new laptop, getting a dvi-out is pretty much out of the question. My solution was to get an external media player like Mvix ([url]http://www.amazon.com/Mvix-Wireless-Media-Center-MX-760HD/dp/B000LLH86W/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1202067003&sr=8-1[/url]) This has harddrive storage and high definition video output capabilities, perfect for what I need. However, I know I might not have any integration with mediaportal. I was wondering if at the very least, I could still have the movies listed but just indicate that it is available high-definition on the Mvix ... or if at best, I could have mediaportal somehowl aunch the file on the Mvix (it does have USB). If anyone has any ideas, I would be much appreciative I've been trying to figure this out for a while. :thx: [/QUOTE]
