[QUOTE="CordlezToaster, post: 735884, member: 112736"] Gday My first HTPC was with XP emerald(Windows XP Media Centre) in 2004 i have been a loyal windows media centre user since. Until i went to a mates place and noticed he was using media portal, after seeing he had the moving pictures plugin it was enough to convince me to move. So i made the switch and i have enabled a few tweaks to make the transition from WMC7 to media portal easier. I do however have a few questions. Question 1 When you hit the right arrow on the MCE remote it takes you to a start, shutdown, restart, close media portal page. Can i map this to a different button? Question 2 Can i remove the My Videos out of the menu? im using streamed mp skin. I only need TV, My Movies, My Series. Question 3 Can you enables some colour coding in the EPG to distinguish movies, doco's, etc? Question 4 When i scroll all the way down to the bottom of the EPG, if i go past the last channel to fast i start at the top and have to go all the way down again. It will not let me go up. Can this be changed? Question 5 What is a good codec pack to use? im using the latest media portal with windows 7 64bit with the latest streamed mp skin. I need to be able to watch mkv files and mv4 and mp4. Question 6 Can i make the skip buttons on the mce remote work? Questions 7 What is the best way to back all configs in the event i need to restore after a fresh install? or how do i backup media portal plus streamed mp?. Question 8 Whats a good program to organise a music library for use in media portal? Thanks for reading and i appreciate all comments and criticism. CT [/QUOTE]
