[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 371205, member: 10723"] Users which have MP working, usually do not post and tell us that everything is working fine. It is always those which have troubles and "fail" to get things working which then tend to "explode" in the forums because they need a valve. MediaPortal requires quite a bit of configuration to get it to do what it is supposed to do. After 3+ years of using and working on MP i can tell that there are a few misstakes new users make: [LIST] [*]right after installation, many community plugins and skins get installed [*]windows is messed up with codec packs and other stuff [*]drivers are not up to date [*]system does not meet the requirements [/LIST] If you install MP on a PC where all software/drivers are up to date and only required codecs are installed. Then there should be no issues at all. But if you try to run (install plugins/skins) before you get MP to walk, then you will encounter problems. I do not say that commuity plugins and skins are totally bugged. But a clean installation should always be done without them first. Only that way you can be sure about "what" is failing. :) [/QUOTE]
