Hi to everyone. I've set up an HTPC with XBMC.
But TV support and PVR is in development and needs Media Portal to work (you've win here! Haha ).
However I'm still experiencing some problems.
First of all, I'm sorry if there are some tutorials or threads that talk about, I've done a lot of searching and I haven't found anything.
So, in my system, XBMC is always ON, it autostart with Windows and it put Windows in Stand-by (S3 Mode) when I want to do that (beacuse I only use a remote, not fully configured).
In XBMC, MediaPortal is executed with an extension that let you run programs. XBMC minimize and MediaPortal starts.
In this mode I can schedule recordings in Media Portal or watch TV, then I close MePo and it automatically switch back to XBMC.
For now I am able to do that:
Suspending PC with XBMC, it is able to WakeUp at schedule time and start recording. But I cannot suspend PC after recording is finished!!
I want that my system wakeup, record and then go to sleep when fished.
But, I also want to use my htpc, if needed, when recording is going, but if the recording finish while I'm watching a film in XBMC it has not to shut down everything
Althought if I accidentally click "Suspend" on XBMC when recording is active, nothing has to happen.
I'm asking too much? Please answer beacause is over two weeks I'm trying everything!! Althought my internet line is slow (56k) and I'm not able to download something more that 15mb :/
