hi guys
I am a new user of MediaPortal.
Recently I installed MediaPortal on my HTPC I built and I have some doubts
I downloaded version 1.2.0.
You can watch TV on the web with MediaPortal? I mean .. watch tv I need a TV card or is there another way to watch tv?
In the Video menu, my button to watch the trailer disappeared, how do I recover?
My htpc is also sometimes used as a games console, you can create a shortcut to the games I have installed and play without leaving the application of MediaPortal?
Espero que entendam o meu inglês e que me possam ajudar...!
thanks

    Hi Super_Tuga

    You can watch TV on the web with MediaPortal?
    Yes. If you receive IPTV channels from your ISP then you may be able to use the built-in DVB-IP tuner to receive them. No additional hardware required. You can also watch video/TV from websites using the OnlineVideos plugin.

    I mean .. watch tv I need a TV card or is there another way to watch tv?
    If you want to watch TV from DVB-T (digital terrestrial), DVB-S (satellite) or DVB-C (cable) then you need a TV card.

    In the Video menu, my button to watch the trailer disappeared, how do I recover?
    Maybe you had installed MyFilms or some other plugin?

    My htpc is also sometimes used as a games console, you can create a shortcut to the games I have installed and play without leaving the application of MediaPortal?
    No, I don't think so. You can switch to other applications using alt+enter to switch MP to windowed mode and then use your other software. After that, use alt+enter to go back to full screen.

    Hello everyone
    I was testing the plugin "my films" and I'm having difficulty in the settings for you for the work.
    In part that says:
    Catalog File (XML)
    I think this is what is failing me.

    As for watching TV in MediaPortal progress were not many.
    I just have not got internet IP TV or anything
    Is it possible?
    I usually watch TV directly from a web site that is tvtuga.com, but if I could reproduce this channel in MediaPortal was just perfect
    Here my doubt is in general
    What settings should I use to watch TV in MediaPortal

    Hi again

    I don't use My Films so I'm sorry I can't help you with that - somebody else can probably give you advice.

    As for watching TV in MediaPortal progress were not many.
    I just have not got internet IP TV or anything
    Is it possible?
    If you haven't got IP TV then you can't do it with TV Server.

    I usually watch TV directly from a web site that is tvtuga.com, but if I could reproduce this channel in MediaPortal was just perfect
    Here my doubt is in general

    You can't do it with TV Server - you need to try with OnlineVideos - that is an MP plugin for watching internet video/TV.
