[QUOTE="gtfreymann, post: 825623, member: 114733"] I remember that feature of VMC. I don't believe there is such a thing with MePo out of the box. But you can search and of course move about the EPG. I think it does. *.ts Install OnlineVideos plugin. You can go into Trailers and view what you want and it allows you to call up a trailer on a movie you happen to be looking at the moment. This plugin does much more too -- but will handle your trailer needs quite nicely. With the correct codecs, yes. Suggest you install the LAV Filter plugin and configure. Yes, use the advanced record options. You can specify the number of episodes to keep. To have it *not* record repeats, you have to ensure you have a good EPG source and tick something in the TV Server config. Check out this wiki page for more info: [url=http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration]TV-Server Configuration - MediaPortal Wiki[/url] I have 3 of these units in my house and I love them! Mind you they are clients only. Speed will vary depending on the skin you choose. Response time is acceptable, sometimes it's slow to jump to the next screen, but it is quite passable and will do you fine! Out of the box, the blue 4x3 and blue wide give you terrific speed. I also install Moving Pictures, TV Series, FanArt, Online Videos, World Weather. The media is all stored on the main MePo Server over the wired network. I can play anything. I get excellent picture quality and 5.1 sound. I use Free AVG for anti virus as these machines only work as HTPC's and rarely get used for anything else. I also have two Zotac HD-ND01 units.
