Media Portal Requirements (1 Viewer)

[Aerofan]

Hello.

I am making a Media center and I intend to use Media Portal, but the PC I have available to do it is only a AMD Athlon 1.05GHz with a 256Mb ATI 9550.

I only want the Media Portal to play videos (Not HD videos), not to se TV channels, so I ask someone who might know, will this system run media portal 1? I know that the system needs a 1.4GHz minimum in the system requirements but will my system work?

I'd appreciate an answer, thanks!

i have an AMD 1400 and it is in charge of :
-tv streaming
-tv recording
-home network file server
-mp client

obviously no HD but normal files can be played perfectly.

just bear in mind that for a low spec system, you will be best off selecting a simple skin. PureVision is one designed for low end systems.
There are a few others, but some are very resource intensive. Best to experiment for the best one for you.

absolutely true, although i find that the default skin works very good.

Hello,

I run a system with

- Sempron 2800+
- 512 MB Ram


If I run the Server and the client I can say that the System is very slow. If you click on TV in Mediaportal it will take 10 seconds before TV starts.

Half a year ago there was no TV-Server (I used the old TV-Engine) installed and the HTPC was running more smoothly.

So I think the minimum Requirements for a Server + Client Setup in the wiki should be increased, I think.
