[QUOTE="yunti, post: 515867, member: 76928"] Thanks for your replies, some great info! My apologies if I was asking rather obvious questions but there doesn't seem to be an up to date guide or feature list for users that I can find. (only things I can see seem pretty out of date) That Iphone app looks superb and very handy. Just a few quick questions around a typical setup: 1) I take it to watch TV and use Mediaportal as a media server I need to install the TV server and Mediaportal? 2) For scraping media info do I need to install plugins or is this built into Mediaportal? (I did see one for TV shows - couldn't see anything for movies- and I'm not sure if this is no built in) 3) Media flags- (showing resolution, aspect ratio) I did see some screenshots of this in one of the skins - is this built into Mediportal or does it require a plugin or different method? ( I use this feature in XBMC) 4) Trailer support - is there support for scraping and playback of trailers in Mediaportal? 5) Codec setup - Does Mediaportal use windows Directshow codecs rather than the built in method as per XBMC and VLC? (Is there a good setup guide for Windows 7 codecs and mediaportal?) I'm a bit confused about the way development works on Mediaportal. Peopl seem to be working on Mediaportal 2 as well as on updating the 1.1 Beta SVN. Do major changes go into Mediaportal 2 and minor ones into the current Beta SVN? Another quick question about Upnp/DLNA server support. I did see this development post for UPnP subsytem in mediaportal 2 [url=http://mantis.team-mediaportal.com/view.php?id=1742]0001742: Develop UPnP subsystem - MediaPortal Bugtracker[/url]. Does that mean currently Mediportal doesn't function as a media server (earlier post seems to indicate it doesn't) but that it is heading in this direction? [/QUOTE]
