[QUOTE="The_New_Guy, post: 398017, member: 90155"] Hey everyone, I'm new to the MediaPortal world as of last week and have been tweaking with the program ever since I finished my HTPC build and had the program downloaded. Overall, I'm thrilled with the functionality and capabilities of MP and can't wait to get it running exactly how I want... But I am having some problems that I couldn't find solutions to by just searching the forum and was hoping someone here could give me a hand. First off, I'm noticing when I select a movie to start in the MP the movie doesn't appear in the correct resolution. For example, only half the movie will pop-up and the rest will be covered in black, or the movie will completely appear but it will only take up half the screen total. Usually, when I exit out of the movie and go back into the movie it will correct or when I skip right to the movies menu...but then other times the screen just goes totally black...any ideas? Another issue that isn't as bad, but one I would like to fix anyways, is when I have a Blu-Ray ISO on my hard drive and want to play it through PowerDVD but launch it through MP (mounted with Daemon Tools), is there a way to make MediaPortal auto minimize on launch and have PowerDVD maximize? Or better yet have the Blu-Ray ISO play inside Media Portal? (I'm still trying to make MP play Blu-ray discs correctly using the walk through on the forum) And finally the last thing...sometimes when I start up a movie it will go through with the previews just fine, but when it gets to the menu the screen will be totally black, when this happens I try and exit out of the movie but MP becomes totally unresponsive and I have to restart the PC to fix the problem...I really want to keep using MP since it works great when its not buggy. Thanks for all the help guys!! My HTPC Setup so far: [b]Windows Version[/b]: Vista Ultimate x86 [b]CPU Type[/b]: Intel E5200 [b]HDD[/b]: 1 x 32GB OCZ Core Series V2 SSD, 2 x 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black.
