[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 228866, member: 10723"] an other very good exmple is the "Disney's High School Musical 2" DVD. works like a charm in WIndowsXp, but if you dare to use windows Vista, then all you get is an [B]EMPTY Video_TS folder[/B]. but the windows explorer tells that there are 7+GB of data on the disc :wtf: :growl: :bitch: but hey, MS will fix that someday with Vista SP1 :eek: :mad: so if i (my daughter) wants to watch this DVD then i either [LIST=A] [*]buy an stand alone DVD-player [*]downgrade to WindowsXP [*]or install the beta of VISTA SP1 (which i did then :rolleyes: ) [/LIST] an other great thing is the BDA patch which MS was so kind to release [B]EXCLUSIVELY for WindowsMCE[/B] :S :wtf: :eek: well, MS seems to think that no WinXp user uses BDA-devices :S or TV-providers which simply do not follow the standards and hack their broadcasted mpg / h.264 signals to "optimize" them which then causes _lots_ of problems and work to adapt our filters to eventually get TV/EPG/subtitles-working for these channels. or even better TV-providers which put [B]2 languages in one stereo signal[/B] (left=lang1, right=lang2). TVE3 will get an option to fix that issue too in the close future. and lets not forget about the [I]"i create my own solution for my dvb-s2 card BDA-driver problem"[/I] which _all manufatures_ prefer. i could continue this list forever. :wtf: maybe those of you who do not get bored to say [B]"MediaPortal doesnt work at all, its a pile of shit"[/B] over and over again, finaly understand and see which shit the industry is throwing at us on a daily basis. and this is also the reason why it works so well for others. mostlikely we simply have many developers from these regions where it works so well and MP has been adapted by them to handle the specific "oddities" of that region. :thx: [/QUOTE]
