MediaPortal Version: 1.0
Windows Version: XP HOME SP2
I hooked up my computer to my TV and have been just using built in software to play videos and dvd's. So the other day I decided it would look better if I used some kind of htpc software and so I went searching around. I found Mediaportal in my favorites (guess I'd searched and became a member here before). Anyway, I've got a couple of questions now that I've been playing around with it.
1) How do I get the multimedia keys on my wireless keyboard to work with Mediaportal?
2) I don't have cable tv or an antenna but would like to possibly get my Harmony remote to work instead of using my keyboard/mouse combo. Does anyone know of a cheap standalone IR I can plug into my system for this? (don't need to get a TV card right now).
3) I like to watch websites like Hulu.com or espn360.com. Is there anyway I can get Webpages through mediaportal? I don't care if it shows all of the page along with the viewers.
4) I have several radio stations I like to listen to on their webpage and their sites use embedded players. How can I get the stream info to put into my radio in mediaportal? Here are the links if it helps: I thought the third one would work but everyone here is always talking about .pls.
