So some more discoveries. MCE remote had been loosing volume control ability. Found out in the net that after windows 7 USB devices after waking up are not restarted and some devices could be lost.
Just going to Control panel and troubleshooting eHome tranceiver device made a fix - windows itself made correction and put this device to reinitialize after waking up [DOUBLEPOST=1348675229][/DOUBLEPOST]Also was problem with no free card message. Powerscheduler++ reinitialization after wake up solved the problem.[DOUBLEPOST=1348675288][/DOUBLEPOST]DVD still strangely can not be put to graph. Starts trying and aborts (from logs).
Maybe one time have MP as a Metro App and have it start directly?
Sorry - nonsense ;-)
How is it nonsense?

Desktop applications are not first-class apps
The Desktop is a Metro app. That means desktop apps do not show up as individual apps in the task bar, or in task switching. They have limited features for sharing, standard metro menus, and more.
Metro apps will be more fully integrated into the Windows 8 experience than any legacy desktop applications.
This claim has nothing to do with MP. There is simply no need to access other software on HTPC.
Which configuration are we talking about. The win + w shortcut is brilliant. I can access all apps and control panel settings much faster than I ever could in Windows 7 win + d is still desktop so that is useful too. I am not finding it too badI do not totally agree with the writer of that article, the Desktop does have very handy functions, which are impossible to find under the 'modern' tile interface. (try to find 'configuration').
I face the same issue. No solution so far. Muting works, though.I have been using Mediaportal 1.3 alpha on Windows 8 Enterprise 64 bit for some time now.
Finally I got everything to work except for one thing, controling the volume through the remote control.
When pressing the volume up or down button on the remote control it is the Windows 8/computor soundand widget that is activated.
If I press - or + on the keyboard the Mediaportal sound and widget is activated as expected.
I have tried to map for example the red and green teletext buttons to volume up and down but nothing happens when pressing them.
I have tried both the Master and the Wave setting in the Mediaportal configuration.
Anybody else that have the same problem or have been able to solve it?
Except for this I am very pleased with Mediaportal runing on Windows 8.
