Hi everyone! First time poster long time reader. I have been reading the posts here for a long time and seem to be having some problems with some questions, maybe possible, maybe not, but I am hoping some vets would know and possibly be able to help me, maybe with links to how to's or something. I will number these for easy replies for everyone.
1. TV Tuner - I had this set up, but I had to do another install. but if I am not mistaken, the sql database that MP sets up is username: sa password: mediaportal by default right? Second, is it required to run an sql server if you are using the mp software on the same pc and not as a streaming server?
2. Remote - I have that HP Media Center Remote, with the eHome Tranceiver usb device. It hooks up all fine and dandy in Win7 and Vista. However XP x64 its a pita to find the drivers that work correctly. Can anyone link to the 64 bit drivers for the usb ir for this? Second, I can use either that remote or a logitech harmony 550, which I will probably use, does MP have native support for this? Or will I need external software?
3. Blu Ray - I know you can convert hd blu ray disks and content to mp4, mkv ect files. What I would like to know is there integrated blu ray disk support, to play directly from a disk, inside media portal? Or is there external programs that integrate into mediaportal (full screen)?
I prefer to run XP x64 as it runs awesome fast, windows 7 is fast, just sluggy sometimes. So any links to the above questions would help, thanks guys!
