Is anyone using Nlite to get a trimmed XP install for mediaportal? If so, care to share your config?
It would make it a lot simpler to do.

Simple way to remove all the stuff you dont need in a media centre.

    Please leave that pure non-sense!

    There are 3 reasons for end-users to use NLite:
    1. no floppy but needing drivers for deprecated OS = okay
    2. customizing own settings right from the start = useless since other people will have different preferences
    3. stripping "unneeded" parts of Windows = pure bullshit!

    So if you did consider 3 and you are not a M$ dev who knows the exact dependencies you're doomed right from the start. I for example will never use a printer with my PC. Nevertheless I needed the print spooler service to install some vital updates. There are dozens of such examples...

    NLite comes in really handy for purpose 1 and 2 but please understand that we cannot support any issue if you're not using a fully updated, complete Windows installation. I guess HDD space shouldn't be an issue for HTPCs which are meant to record and play terabytes of data..

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...
