[QUOTE="mzemina, post: 137234, member: 11677"] There is a problem using this type (a screen for control of MP) of HTPC case with using MediaPortal. There has been noted problems using MediaPortal for use wiht dualscreens. Dualscreen so that the main information (TV video, Movie, Music visualization, etc) is shown on the bigscreen while the controlling is on the small screen. The issue has been described with having DX control of the second screen, it appears like DX can only have exclusive control of only the primary screen. MediaPortal was never designed to be used such that a videoscreen like you see on this HTPC would be the control screen. However, there has been work to use PPC (Microsoft based PDA) as a controller - but it seems that work has been quiet (thread: [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mpblue_ppc_client_release_0_0_4-t3060.html"]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mpblue_ppc_client_release_0_0_4-t3060.html[/URL]). Once that work is completed using a PDA (or smartphone) or maybe even using a small UMPC would be a perfect method to have a high-end controller for MP. [/QUOTE]
