Hi all,
This is my first post here on the forums. I would like to say that I have been very eager to get my HTPC to run for instance multiple sessions of Media portal, so I can watch on one monitor tv/video file etc. which can be different to what is being watched on the other monitor. Either way how you can accomplish this feature, I think it would be great for a lot of us. If you have the ability to assign one tv-tuner to one session, the other tv-tuner to the other monitor. Both can run independently have a remote assigned, and you can with one computer watch several streams of content in for instance your house. You will not need another computer doing this. It would be a real nice outcome for a media center downstairs to stream independent sessions all over the house. Then you can assign hardware to one session, other hardware to another session. People can use one computer upstairs to watch different content from what is downstairs. As far as I know you can only have one stream going to all monitors.
Pherhaps if someone knows another way to achieve multiple independent streaming, for instance running Media Portal normally and a virtual machine to assigning certain hardware (tuners) to a VM and letting it stream to the other monitor. Thanks in advance for reading this, I hope I have given a good idea that would be useful to a lot of us.
