I just installed Media Portal on a Windows 7 Basic, and each time i try to start Media Portal it always starts the configuration of the protal. I cannot seem to start it up?

    Hi and welcome seaaxis

    That is because you have to create a configuration file before you can run MP. The watchdog will also crash if you haven't got a configuration file (we're going to fix that). To resolve this, select "advanced mode" on that popup and click OK. You could just click OK again straight away if you want. If it were me, I'd go to the "codecs and renderer" section and set my codec preferences, and I'd also set up my video and music folders. Then clicking on the shortcut again after saving the configuration file (click OK to close config) will start MP.

    Same problem here. Just upgraded 1.7.1. hotfix to 1.8.0 final and now I can't start mediaportal, configuration, extension manager or MP skin editor. I double click the program files but nothing happens.

    Sounds like a different problem. You better off starting a new thread.

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

    I can confirm that. After reinstalling MP1.31(x86) I mistakenly installed the x64 version MpUrlSourcesplitter. Then I got the error. After uninstalling MpUrlSourcesplitter(x64) I installed the MpUrlSourcesplitter(x86). But the error message still comes.

    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...

    Hi, First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with. If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected. For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos. I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...
