Hello all, I have been using MediaPortal for a couple of weeks now, and I'm loving it. I do have a couple of questions though.

When movies are done playing, they don't go back to the selection screen. I always have to hit the esc key (no remote yet) to get back to the list of movies. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

My other question is how to set up playlists. I see them in the menu on the left side of the video selection page, but I am having trouble finding information on how to set them up and use them.

For reference, my system specs are below.

Pentium 4 1.8Ghz
768 Mb ram (working on getting more)
GeForce 4 MX 440 with AGP8x
Videos are being streamed from another computer

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that info. I have been tinkering with it, and I'm still having no luck. I was using MPV, but not EVR. I tried it with MPV and EVR and also ffdshow with and without EVR. Obviously, using those two codecs with EVR caused problems. I dloaded PowerDVD and am currently using that codec, but it didn't fix my problem either. Maybe I can explain it a little better. After a video is finished playing and the screen goes blank, that's where it stays. I have to hit esc to go back to the menu. It seems like MediaPortal doesn't register that the video is finished, because if I try to play that video again it asks to start where it left off, but it should be reset and starting at the beginning.

Here is some more inforamation to see if it helps. I am playing the Video_TS folders ripped directly from the DVD, running windows XP with Service Pack 3. My skin is Blue3.

Any help is much appreciated.

Anyone got anything for the playslists? I still haven't found anything.
