[QUOTE="ltfearme, post: 354023, member: 52219"] [B]1. When I launch MP, my media stream is completely blank. It's not until I move the cursor to the menu does it reactivate. Anyway to fix this and reorganize my menu items?[/B] I think this is a known issue when the mouse moves in BasicHome, StreamedMP only supports a remote or keyboard without a trackball. We are still investigating if something can be done about this. What happens when MediaPortal starts automatically with windows? [B]2. My time doesn't fit into the box and spills out to the right.[/B] I know the current design only support date in short time format, but this may not be your issue. Can you post a screenshot or even better raise it on the bugtracker. [B]3. I get no RSS feeds or Weather on the home screen. I see the header #RSS FEED and so on. How do I activate this?[/B] In MediaPortal configuration define a weather under weather settings, RSS can be defined under plugins->process plugins->MP-RSSTicker [B]4. How can I edit the home file to change the source locations for some items and remove other menu items completely. For example, I can't get the TV Server to work so I use WinTV Scheduler. I want Watch TV Shows to navigate to my of recorded tv folder (added as a source in My Videos). [/B] First ensure that under MediaPortal Configuration->General you have 'Start with BasicHome' defined, second as part of the StreamedMP install package you can find a BasicHome Editor installed (shortcut on the desktop and in the StartMenu program groups). Use the editor to remove items and add new ones. [B]5. From the main menu, when I highlight an item, I hit the right arrow and expect to bring up a sub-menu. This doesn't occur all the time. Sometimes, the sub-menu shows up but in the middle of the screen with a blank top-menu. [/B] MediaPortals skin engine is not as advanced as XBMCs so this could be a deficiency you are describing...a picture to illustrate might help. [B]6. What's up with the top menu right below the time? It has a check box and X box. I really don't need these because I want them to be integrated into the home screen (i.e. On/Off menu item with sub-menu).[/B] Not sure what you mean, a picture again to illustrate. Maybe you are talking about the TopBar (this can be disabled under Configuration->Plugins. [B]7. I also get hang-ups sometimes. I am still trying to learn the keyboard navigation and sometimes I get lost.[/B] I appreciate your time. What I was hoping was to get the same experience from MP and the StreamMP skin as I had with XBMC and the MediaStream skin. thx, ~r[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
