Hi,
I've just been having a tough time with Media Center, and came across MediaPortal which I'm now liking lots.
The problem I'm having is that although I can see the Composite input in the Hauppauge interface and even in the Media Centre preview, when ever I try and run MediaPortal I don't have a "My TV" option in the menu.
When I click the Second icon in the top right menu (the TV Full screen I believe), it comes up with a message saying:
"Live tv in Background"
"No Video/TV Playing
Make sure you use VMR9 and that something is p..."
The end of the message is truncated. I have checked that I have the MCE 2005 Rollup and all the latest MS Patches. I've also downloaded the latest ATI drivers (v8.380.0.0) and DirectX9.0c is installed.
I've added a channel for my Composite input, as the TV isn't coming from the tuner, and that seems OK, although there's no "Preview" to check.
Could someone point me in the direction of a fix or workaround? Would love to make use of MediaPortal instead of Media Center if it works as well as I hope it will.
If there's any info missing, just shout and I'll get it for you.
