Hi,

Is anyone using one of these with Media Portal?

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

    You really should provide more info, you know...

    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

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...
