[QUOTE="roccster, post: 76898, member: 24759"] I recently installed mediaportal (2 days ago). One of the reasons was that I bought a D-link 320RD, which is suppoused to be able to stream media over a lan. Allthough the D-link worked quite well I stumbled on some issues (couldn´t include the subtitles etc). This got me fed up with all iin one appliances (owned a Kiss DP500 before that). So when I got my hands on a 2nd hand comp. with a non working PSU, I thought this was my chance on a real MCE. The comp is a P4 2gHz, 512ram, a GeForce 4MX440 etc. After replacing PSU and installing and patching up XP i sunk my teeth in the Mediaportal installation process. I must congratulate ou guys on your documentation. Everything is working like a charm. The only thing I did different was choosing another codec pack that included VobSub.
