Hi,

Is anyone using one of these with Media Portal?

If so, what are your experiences? Any problems?
Thanks.

    Find out more about the TV-card; manufacturer etc.

    No other reason why it should not work - give it a try!


    Oh, and it looks cool!

    i´m using it, also put a hauppauge hvr-4000 into the free pci-slot to watch dvb-s.
    i´m running mp 0.2.2 with svn from a week ago and tv server 0.3.
    the built-in tvcard is from avermedia, i´m only using it for 4 dvb-t channels but it´s working fine for them.
    overall performance is very nice, goes to and from standby in about 2 seconds and it´s very silent too.
    the only bigger problem i had so far was with updating nvidia drivers because with the new ones i couldn´t change the resolution to the setting i wanted(switched back to the default driver).

    any other errors glitches i had are probably due to using svn versions of mp and tvserver, that´s why i´m anxious for a new release version :)

    ...forgot to mention: like with most of the pre-built, store-bought pc´s there´s quite a lot of bloatware on it(norton, a bunch of dvd stuff test versions etc.)

    but like Spraglenakas said, it really looks cool :D

    Isn't this normal? I mean perhaps you should first do some config before you can start using mediaportal?

    Just those I attached. I messed about with task priorities MP/TV-Server/SQL-Server and the issue changed to the skin.. I would do something, but it would be 10's of seconds before the action happened. Doing an Alt-Tab would flush the actions. Too weird lol!! So, with some flak from the family, I had to give in.

    The only changes I see are: Updated Marcel Groothuis version of the plugin to now support Media Portal 2.5 I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try. But I can't give any guarantees.

VLC does read the ts files but the TV's remote does not allow to control basic VLC functions like FF or FR or pause etc... Tried 1-2 other apps, even...
