[maximus6]

Would like to share experience using MP with Windows 7. It realy works great comparing to Windows Media Center.

Hardware:
- Zotac IONITX-A (Atom 330 OC at 2.0Ghz + Nvidia ION)
- 2Gb of RAM
- 1.5TB Seagate Barracude LP 5900
- Foxconn RS-233 case with removed Power Supply, fan changed to 120mm GlacialTech ELDA 950RPM (now almost silent)
- Microsoft MCE v2 remote
- BTC 6100C USB Keyboard
- Logitech Wireless Mouse Nano
- AV Receiver using SPDIF

Installation steps:
- Windows 7 32-bit with WMC
- Turn off WMC in Control Panel->Programs and Feautures->Turn Windows features on or off. Open Media Features and uncheck Windows Media Center
- Install K-Lite Codec pack (turn on DXVA)
- Install CoreAVC (supports Nvidia CUDA) for proper H264 decoding
- Install MP 1.1
- Configure MP (Video Player - H264 CoreAVC, Audio - AC3Filter, Remote - use MCE Remote)
- Configure AC3Filter to use SPDIF pass through, adjust speakers and volume levels
- Install MPTrayMod (for Win7) to start MP from Green Button on remote
