Hi Guys,

This may be the wrong area, but is there anywhere a complete list of what is needed to be installed on a new htcp (xp + updates) for the perfect mediaportal setup??

Thanks in advance.

You can have a look at our wiki, e.g.

MediaPortalTools/Installation_Guides_Menu - MediaPortal Manual Documentation

Hi,

I'm afraid that doesn't help me. I know how to install MediaPortal and set it up. All I want to know is what other software is needed to compliment the software for that perfect setup.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Think I know what you mean by extra's, I'll start by listing what I normally use.
MPTray : This starts MP from the MCE green button.
OneButtonMusic : Ideal for a quick bit of music
MySleep Timer : One button press and it will finish playback of current source (video or music) and then shutdown pc to whatever you have selected in its config, or manually set a time.
TVServer Monitor : this works the same as the red recording systray icon, which comes with mce, so it shows grabbing dvbepg\timeshifting\recording\program\s name (colour changes as to what function is being used), so you can monitor whats going on in the windows environment.
Milkdrop2.1 : Viz for music, highly recommended to entertain
UK TVlogo's : Just to give some nice icons in tvguide\recordings

If I think of anymore will let you know, but these are always a good start.
