Ok, I made a 4 bit (16 colors) bmp, 640x480. I am not sure what more is needed but take a look at it and let me know what you think.

On all of the pages about this there where several warnings from ppl that had crached their systems... use it at your own risk ;)

And regarding your question about the shell replacement:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="C:\Program Files\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal.exe"

Doesn't work for me, get an application exception when it tries to load Mediaportal.
The path as written is also wrong at least according to the installation of 0.0.0.9....it should be:
"C:\Program Files\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal\Mediaportal.exe"

Anyone else with this issue ?

However if I then launch the taskmanager->run and then start mediaportal it works without problems.

I got this too. It seems explorer must be doing something that MP requires. You say if you use task manager to load MP after the error , it works?
If that's right, I guess there's something explorer initializes. I wonder what it is?
I posted this as a bug in the bugs sections. Hopefully Frodo can give use some insight.

Did you already try to install MP without the folder "Team Mediaportal"? I had probs with the blank when copying the tvguide via batch, now it works without the blank.

Isn't this normal? I mean perhaps you should first do some config before you can start using mediaportal?

I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled. I did it this way so I didn't have to edit the channel names every time tested a new TV-server install. Anyway, it works. I don't know if this would get you past the BDA driver issue. I'll provide more...
