    I have had a similar experience. After using MCE2005 for about 4 years, my media PC blew it's nvidia card. The only spare parts I could find were older AGP cards that didn't fit the newer slot and was forced to use the onboard video. For some reason unclear at the present, Media Center would run as normal with the onboard video but would not play video despite Media Player handling it just fine. It was at this point that I decided to hunt up MediaPortal, which I had tried back in it's infancy and at that time I was not impressed. How this program has changed-- I am glad my nvidia took a dive so I could discover that this free program has surpassed the professional one I have been using! After a few set up issues, mainly to do with my Phillips brand media center remote, I now have a better running, even more polished program than the microsoft one. And I love the feature that marks videos after they have been viewed-- for someone like myself who entire television series, often congruently, this is a life saver.

    :D

    (If anyone has a similar remote and can't get the windows (green) button to launch mediaportal, check out the program Intelliremote. I tried about six other programs before finding one that worked with all the green button on this remote).

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    Greetings to all Denizens of the land of MediaPortal... It seems our Zap2XML/GraceNote access is broken again. I (as many others) have been using the latest NewZap2xml_6 and it has worked flawlessly. A few days ago it all died. I wonder if anyone is working a solution to save the masses. I am hoping the good citizen of past is...

    Hey CyberSimian you nailed it! Looks like the secret is:- After EPG Collector has Run and provided the TVGuide.xml Open MediaPortal - TV Server Configuration "Force Import" on the Plugins/Xmltv/General dialogue, (ignore the status) Go to the Mappings dialogue and Load/Refresh and Save a Group - (It does not appear to matter which...

    Thanks guys. Ok, spent the (whole) weekend on this lol. First; TVHeadend/Kodi.... Nah. Given up on that - 'non-tech'; its horrible. 'Tech' - a few reasons but mostly that it is buggy. It is actually a real shame as it does have potential and promises a lot (was great to have Kodi on my phone and be able to watch live/recordings...
