[QUOTE="Stonebrook, post: 1244228, member: 162870"] Thank you for all the replies, and since I really dont want to be a troll I probably wont reply again on this topic. Like the other poster I will more than likely wait for mediaportal to mature a bit. This particular computer is "airgap" for security. it will never be connected to ANY network. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully that will change. Were I a programmer possibly I could contribute. Unfortunately my feedback is all I have ATM. I really should have invested a few minutes into the wiki. Most software these days take care of their own business, and I must admit that MP did in fact try to download the required dependency. Unfortunately, when it failed it didnt tell me why. I disagree no internet on the PC is a huge error by design. The PC has sensitive data that cannot be compromised. WMC does not require an internet connection to function. WMC is fully funtional on Win 7 out of the box (ie no dependencies(well other thatn you tuner card driver). Metadata is not required. I dont use playready. I have seriously considered a standalone TV, and may move to that; However the PVR/DVR features are what keep it on my PC. I DO have a TIVO, and use it regularly. It's the TV buffer I'm after. I hate commercials. Also I do more on my PC than watch TV. I have a multi-monitor setup whereby I can play games, word process, and many other things while the TV plays. I DO really appreciate those who took the time to read my post and reply. But I still feel the same way about complicated open source projects. I have the SAME problem with linux. been trying (on and off) for years to learn/migrate, and I cant even install a package :p Guess you cant teach an old dog new tricks. LOL! -Stonebrook [/QUOTE]
