Documentation: Use the Wiki!

Start with the Manual - everyone says it, hardly anyone one does it!

Our Wiki really should be your first stop. It provides all the assistance you require to install and configure MediaPortal to meet your needs.

Even if you are building your first HTPC, our Wiki has valuable information and reference material to assist you, contributed by our expert users over the years.

Numerous User Guides provide more detailed 'how to' information plus tips and tricks for setting up particular features.

If you are setting up your first HTPC, be sure to check out the hardware selection guides and reviews.

You may also find Country Specific information to tailor MediaPortal for your country or region, such as TV Tuning Details, Channel Logos, Electronic Program Guide (EPG) data for your TV Guide, sources of local weather images and more.

Support MediaPortal!

The team works very hard to make sure the community is running the best HTPC-software. We give away MediaPortal for free but hosting and software is not for us.

Care to support our work with a few bucks? We'd really appreciate it!
