We're interested in your HTPCs and if you're looking to upgrade for HDTV, HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc support.
The reason why we're asking is that we have an option to implement a H/W decoding solution that will require you not to have to upgrade at all in most cases.
Just a bit about the hardware decoding solution. It will be capable of decoding VC1, MPEG-2, H.264, DivX & Xvid video streams with most audio.
So if you have a high CPU% decoding any of these at the moment in standard or high definition then it may be a solution for you.
Also note any purchases if we go ahead will automatically result in donations to MediaPortal too!
So as a new release is not that far away we need more direct feedback for the 'Nightly Builds '. To achieve that we moved the snapshots to the forum. They are build nightly as before (or if something important changed even during daytime) but now a new thread is generated for each one including the download link.
Here you can discuss or comment this particular snapshot, describe whats not working or just prove with others that your problem is not just related to your local installation. You can use the forum-RSS-feed function to get a notice when theres a new build posted for MediaPortal or the TVEngine3.
Please remember that this threads should not replace the detailed bugreports so please write one if you are sure that you found a new bug. Thanks!
We've made a big mistake with the webinterface for the tvserver.
As some of you might already have heard, it contains some parts of webguide4. To be clear, these parts are gfx only and NOT code. The reason this happened is because during development we borrowed the gfx layout of webguide4 with the intention to replace all the gfx with MP's own ones before releasing.
Sadly.. we forgot to replace some of the gfx and remove gfx we didnt use.
We would like to apologize to the author of WebGuide4 for this mistake.
All layout files like gfx/css styles/scripts etc have been removed from SVN for now until we found out which ones are left-overs from WebGuide4 and need to be replaced with our own graphics/styles.
Were still getting a lot of feedback due to our April Fools' joke 'Commercial & LinPortal'. Just to clear that up, MediaPortal is and will be free and NOT going to be ported to Linux (technically impossible) ;)
Maybe you've already noticed that current development has a strong focus on the new TV engine being one of MP's incredible strengths. The tutorial videos convinced many people that the setup process is quite straightforward. However we'd like to have a little feedback on your MyTV opinion. This will allow us to better coordinate future development efforts or provide better documentation where needed.
Please vote here on your usage of MyTV. Do not post about issues in that thread. However if you've got a comment why you need to use one specific option (e.g. some feature missing in TVE3) please post about that.
