    Robert

    Absolutely. I have my WHS serving up 90% of Media Portal's content. The remaining 10% of content pulled down from the intarnets (trailers, youtube et al..)

    The 90% could be split into two categories:
    > Content from a TV capture card (so live television content, and recorded television content)
    > Other (Downloaded/Ripped/Shared/Home Video etc..)

    Although not officially supported, TV-Server works fine on WHS/Windows 2003. I isntalled TV-Server on my WHS only after I had eliminated any errors from my windows logs (Start > Run > compmgmt.msc > Event Viewer). When every bootup, shutdown and everything in between was totally clean, I installed TV-Server. It's been rock-solid stable.

    The non-TV content is a peice of piss to setup. Google "simple file sharing" and you'll be right. If you suck at teh googles then post back and I'll try to hold your hand.

    Hope that helps mate. Have fun! :)

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    Thank you for this tip! I'm moving MP TV Server to a new machine. I installed the 64-bit version and most of the MP firewall rules were set to Public. I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...

    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...
