[QUOTE="joecrow, post: 889933, member: 128337"] I am very new to Media Portal and have installed it on my desktop with a view to eventually using it to replace Win7 WMC on my HTPC. This has raised a number of questions mostly on different plugins so hopefully this is not the wrong place to post this. Bluray playback: I eventually found the "Arcsoft" Bluray Player Launcher in the forum which allows me to use PowerDVD 11. a, What is the status of this plugin, and or native BR playback, why is it not shown in the Plugins download pages? b, I have been able to launch a Bluray .iso with this plugin but will it also work with a disk (I don't have the hardware to check this, VGA monitor)? Online Vidoes: The BBC Iplayer, and other entries, offer live TV but I have not been able to get this to work. Is anyone else able to play live TV successfully? . (A plugin on my HTPC, TunerfreeMCE, will play BBC live TV etc.) MyFilms: This looks very good as it interfaces to my existing video database (MyMovies on WMC) a, Will it continue to do so? Currently it only shows support for a very old version of MyMovies. b, Will myFilms automatically mount (e.g. viaVirtual Clone Drive) an .iso if requested to play it? I will much appreciate any answers, clarification, re-direction and suggestions of alternatives, as mentioned earlier I am very new to MP. [/QUOTE]
