[QUOTE="jcompagner, post: 104533, member: 29134"] I just setup MediaPortal because i want to test digital tuners. And they now sort of work in MCE but i still had problems. So i first wanted to get it all working correctly in another system before (maybe) i go back to MCE. What i encountered now are mostly things that default settings are not right. for example the MCE remote Skip en Replay buttons don't work by default correctly in the TV Guide (it does paging but for that you have the CH/PG buttons) and when playing a video (not jumps forward and backward) Also the default color of the "what is now running" in the TV Guide when the genres are colored is wrong, it is black that is completely not readable. That should be default to light gray or something like that. (i have done that now and it works great) Also setup the tuner cards and finding the right channels (for me digital kabel from essent, zwolle, the netherlands). This should be contributed by the community (by us) so that there are a lot of more lists with the right name that you can choose and then finding channels will go much easier. Also the Start media portal when windows start should be an option only for the current user. I have disabled it now and added it myself in the startup folder, because i also use that system through remote desktop. Then media portal shouldn't start. There are a lot of configuration options that can't be done in the Media Portal TV UI. For example adding Music/Video folders to the list of to search folders. Also the Movie and TV database should always be insync with the folder. For example i have had the recorded tv folder on the same folder as the MCE recorded tv folder. This was a big mistake because now if i press Recorded TV button i always see those with new dates (of the time i pressed the button) completely above. I have now made a new clean folder for Media Portal but i still see all the old onces (i pressed clean tv database in the MP Config many times) i also can't play them anymore that doesn't work because ofcourse it can't find the files.. So media portal should automatically keep the TV databsae (and the Music and Video database) in sync with the real folders.. Remove them when nothing is there anymore, Add them when suddenly new once are there.. [/QUOTE]
