I have used dvd decrypter to record one of my dvds in my hdd and i was wondering if that was all i needed to do to get mp to play my dvds off my hard drive. Do i need to do somthing else to make it work?? :?:

    1) Use DVD Decypter to convert the dvd to an .iso file on the hard drive.
    dvddecrypter how to: http://www.doom9.org/dvddec.htm

    2) Make sure you have deamon tools set up on your htpc.
    Daemon Tools download: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/daemonhelp.php
    Daemon Tools help: http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/daemonhelp.php

    3) Set up MP to use Daemon Tools...in the MP setup, General/Daemon Tools
    check "Automount .iso/.bin file using Daemon Tools
    use the Browse button to find and enter the location of the daemon tools executable
    make sure you set the virtual drive letter up the same as you did in your daemon tools program setup

    When you rip your dvd, make sure it's saved in a folder you've set up in the MP Setup program under Movies/Movie folders

    Click on the file name My Videos, the ripped DVD should play like a dvd was in a drive

    Sorry, it's my fault -- I did not notice that you are using MP2. :( MP1 has a separate configuration utility, similar to "TV Server Config". I have tried MP2 only a couple of times, and have never used it seriously. I don't know what MP2 supports with regard to adjusting audio delay, but I do know that all of the adjustments of...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
