[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1001629, member: 76888"] Watch this: [media=youtube]otizI1-RoKU[/media] ^ Nothing much has changed regarding setup between 1.3A + 1.4. I've never watched this video, but apparently it's good. [B]1. Use windows backup[/B] to make an image of c-drive, we will re-use the image if the htpc goes wonky or in the future, we want to reinstall MP with a nice clean installation [B]2. Tidy up your files (optional buy recommended)[/B] Install TheRenamer Use theRenamer to tidy up your tvseries files Use the following filenaming structure \tvseries\%series%\Season #\%series% - S#E# 0 %title%.ext eg. \tvseries\Breaking Bad\Season 1\Breaking Bad - S01E01 - Pilot Tidy up your movies, either using TheRenamer or manually (I do this manually). One movie per subfolder. A program called "FileBot" is also good at organizing your movies. I do this manually since I've always maintained a clean collection of movies. Use either \movies\%title% (%year)\filename.ext or \movies\%title% (%year%) (IMDB#)\filename.ext also works with dvd / bluray rips eg. \movies\Aliens (1979)\VIDEO_TS\ [B]3. Install MP 1.4[/B] (not 1.3) click no I will not watch TV. You don't want tv-server or tv-server client plugin bc you don't have a tv tuner card. Say Yes to LAV + Titan + Titan Extended [B]4.

Make an extra windows backup image[/B] [B]7. Run MPConfig[/B] Skip setting up music Videos - Don't use this for movies or tvseries, just point it to any folders that have videos that don't belong under movies/tv series Go down to plugins at the bottom Setup Moving Pictures + TV Series In moving pictures make sure to select "prefer folder name for matching or something like that" In TV Series select download information for all the episodes in the series under options. Watch video below, I've never watched it, but I assume it's roughly accurate. [media=youtube]mbgZOQixzQg[/media] [B]8.

Don't need to change anything on the PC. You only need to change things on your PC if your tv is bad and can't do 1:1 with 0% overscan. [B]PS.[/B] Mediaportal is designed to be operated by a keyboard/remote. If you don't have a remote yet then buy one ASAP, the keys are p = play , b = stop, F9 = options, enter = ok, F5->F8 FFWD etc. If you have a media keyboard buttons should work, if they don't enable either MCE or HID under remotes in mp config. If you have a MCE remote just click MCE remote under MP Config, DONT DO ANYTHING ELSE! [/QUOTE]
