Does anyone know how to get a working version of MP (with out TV) on a VM? I am wanting to setup a VM so I can test some plug-in's and mods etc but when I start MP up it hangs on 'Initializing DirectX'??
VMware wont properly support DirectX acceleration - therefore you wont be able to run MP through a Virtual Machine.
I believe the newer version of VMware beta and other VM suites (like Virtualbox) have experimental support for directX, but its still too early in development to be useful.
I can confirm that MP works in a VM with VMWare Workstation 6.5, that has DirectX 9.0c support.
The only supported guest OS is Windows XP.
You must enable "Accelerated 3D Graphics" flag under Display in VM Settings.
On MP you must use EVR.
I installed the VM on 6.5 Workstation and graphics acceleration is working fine, but what is EVR?? I cannot reproduce sound inside MP but it works fine in VM windows.
EVR setting is in Mediaportal Configuration - DirectShow Filter Control - Video Render Settings. With my system VMR9 doesn't works but EVR does.
Sound works fine with default settings in MP and VM. Have you tried launching dxdiag in VM ? Under the sound tab do you see any error ?
Also TVServer works in a Workstation 6.5 VM.
The TV Card must be USB to be assigned to the VM. I tried a Pinnacle 330e with success in a Vista x32 Guest over a Vista x64 Host.
Please note the x64 -> x32 driver hop. Great work VMWare
I had the same issue and found the executable under

Only the shortcut was missing.

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...

Hi,
I'm wish to be able to watch the recorded TV (*.ts) files on my Sony Bravia Android TV but cannot. The default media player app does not support the file type. So I installed VLC. VLC does read the ts files but the TV's remote does not allow to control basic VLC functions like FF or FR or pause etc... Tried 1-2 other apps, even...
