Hi,
I have just signed up to this forum and was wanting some advice moving from Media Center to Media Portal.
After a lot of attempts trying to get Media Center set up on a Vista 64Bit system I have lost interest due to all the issues and limitations I have had.
So I want to give Media Portal a go but before I install anything I want some advice on what I should remove from my system before I do anything else.
I have seen the fresh install documentation on this site and will follow that. I am more concerned about something conflicting as a result of me trying to get Media Center going.
Things such as:
- Codecs that I originally installed to try and get Media Center going (should I uninstall these first?),
- Directories that I had placed movies, songs etc in (Should I order these into any type of structure initially?).
- Vista itself - Should I be checking any setting in Vista first to make sure I am in an appropriate state to install Media Portal as fresh as I can?
The HTPC system I have has had nothing installed except where it related to Media Center (Such as My Movies) and the system was built only two months ago.
Thanks,
Brad
