    Yes we're selling just the MP Configuration (and Hardware ;)). Mediaportal is for free and opensource, thats clear and we tell it to every customer.

    You have to know, that there aren't only "freaks" like us. There are also people who need their sleep, and don't want to spend this time in front of their htpc's to find out the best configuration. For these people it's an great offer to get a preconfigured htpc.

    Note: We're very active here in this form. And when we change or extend something (linke skinfiles e.g.) we publish that stuff also here.

    Hey, I find it really cool that you're selling a MediaPortal + HW combo to users who just want an out-of-the box htpc experience. Out of curiosity, how is the perception of MediaPortal in comparison to W7 MediaCenter (which is also offered)?

    I do think you should make it more clear on the Homepage that you are using a seperate free Software (MediaPortal) because if I didn't know that before visiting your site I would think you're selling your own software. But if the MP team is ok with it who am I to judge... ;)

    Actually it is not only MP's team to judge :) Every one who has been contributing code under GPL (users sending patches, MPC-HC and other open source projects that GPL based code is used in MP...), if anyone of those persons see that GPL lisence is violated they can act and MP team cannot stop it.

    I personally dont see any issues on that, althou the home page could be stating it a bit clearer that the MP is free from URL x. Also modifying skins might require permission from the skin authors since those aren't under GPL (I wonder why they haven't been published under creative commons lisence...).

    tourettes &@DieBagger:
    We are currently creating a version for Win7 unsing MP (we're using Win XP at the moment). If this process is completed, we will renew our homepage. Then we'll make it easier to see, that Mediaportal is a free GPL-licensed software.

    Till now we've used Aeon Wide Skin (and have create skinfiles for that skin), but this skin is sadly outdated.


    PS:Is it possible to switch this thread to german section?

    Oh, I couldn`t load the images which are included at the description.

    But there are some other guys which are selling Mediaportal (-disc) on eBay:

    Remember this product is NOT a demo, it's a fully licensed copy of an amazing multimedia centre which allows you to manage all of your media needs from an easy to use control panel.
    Who licensed that? ^^

    Good. I am pleased that that is now working for you. :) If you have ever looked at MP debug log files, you may have noticed that apparent errors are not rare, but these are "errors" that do not affect the functioning of the product. (It is not desirable to have these errors in the log file, as it misleads users, testers, and...

    The layout of remotes does vary from one model/brand to another. I too find that some layouts are better than others. Generally, I prefer the buttons that I use most-frequently to be positioned near the center of the remote, which is not the case with that particular Dell remote. :( Battery life is often a problem. A remote that I...
