[kogarona]

are you using a remote to controll it? which one?

[11LandShark11]

@kogarona Yes. I programmed my Logitech Harmony to control it.

I tried using multishortcut to get hulu desktop to play. It didn't work cause ether hulu starts then media portal pops up on top of it in the way or hulu starts and media portal closes and does not start back up. How did you get it to work? Please help and thank you.

I think in MP config, under general, there's a setting the will minimized MP when using other application.....

i was looking for a program with support for TV series. hulu is a great plus, too.

[GundamWZero]

I am getting this program

Nice set up, love the intro to movies

nice skin and mySQL? libary, but the tv moduls looks like mms :/ so no alternative to xbmc for me

[cactuskid007]

how do you get your blu rays on that?

[logolotta]

@doomtomb3 I know you asked this question ages ago, so by now you might know better than me, but it seems like MP has better support. Plugins and Scripts are a mess on XBMC, atleast finding them is really backwards.

This guys config in this video seems pretty sweet, I"m gonna dive into MP again and see if I can't make it work for me.

[doomtomb3]

MediaPortal vs. XBMC vs. Windows 7 Media Center. What do you recommend?

[donfrenchiano]

This looks an awful lot like XBMC. MP has its own PVR function but you are using beyond tv through what looks like the launcher plugin.
