Hi there and welcome 
Not sure what you already done, so please a bit more information.
Did you install MediaPortal?
Then open MP Configuration and add video directories (shares) under the video section?

MediaPortal is installed. I'm not sure what you mean by "video directories share" Mine is not labeled like that. It does show my videos, and I have videos in different format, but on my tv it says no videos in this file.

I am sorry, but I do not understand.
You say "It does show my videos" - what does show your videos?
You can read the manual:
Video Folders - MediaPortal Wiki
Videos - MediaPortal Wiki
But if you need help in the forum please explain more and give more information.

Let me start over. I don't know anything about MediaPortal. I read it might help me with my problem. I'm running Windows XP. I'm setting up my new Sony Bravia tv. I want to watch the videos I have on my computer, on my tv. I have a wireless router. I have checked the "share to network" box in the computer folder. I can view my computer photos on the tv but not my videos. I have various formats. (mov,mp4,mpeg trying to find something that would work) Norton was temp. uninstalled in case of a firewall issue. No help. Norton reinstalled. MP Config shows a check by my videos. Still I cant watch my videos on my tv. I can watch others youtube videos. But not my youtube videos. Any ideas?

I think so. I want to view the video files that are on my computer. I want to watch them on my tv. Simple right?
Hi there,
Is your computer connected to your TV via a hdmi/dvi/vga cable?
If not, then Mediaportal is of no use to you.
For Mediaportal to work, your PC has to be connected locally to your TV via one of the above type cables (and not via a network cable)
Thanks,
J.

First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with.
