[QUOTE="Hotkey, post: 647443, member: 53751"] Hi All, i'm about to perform a fresh installation of my MP (porting from WinXP to Win7). The main reason is, that i'm hoping to solve [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/mediaportal-crashes-image-freeze-sound-klicks-continue-unhandled-exception-85429/"]this problem[/URL] because anything else runs like a charm. (I'm installing on a new HD, so in case of trouble i can revert back ;-)) Since the last installation, excluding updates, was for about 3 years i don't want to make any mistakes, especially in terms of codecs. I remember i put plenty of time to configure ffdshow. So to make it short some questions: [LIST] [*]Which codec should i install (if any, i have CoreAVC and Power DVD so far, are they still good?) [*]Do i still have to fiddle with merits? [*]How to configure ffdshow (if needed anymore) [*]Should i take MySQL (preferred because of personal knowledge) or MS SQL (Performance?) [*]Whats the best way to setup the screen for best results at my TV (refresh rate and size) [*]Is it a good idea to import EPG (XmlTV) settings and channel lists? [*]Is the "dvbfix" still required on win7? [/LIST] Anything else important? Many thanks in advance!
