Yes, it is required that MediaPortal is running to record a scheduled TV Show. MediaPortal is not designed to run as a service.

With Windows XP you can only use 1 DVB-Card without issues. You can still use multiple analog cards and one DVB-Card. But because of the bug in Windows XP you can't use more than one DVB-Card out of the box. The only exception is the Skystar2 which doesn't use a BDA-driver and is supported by MediaPortal. You can use one or two Skystar 2 TV-Cards along with one other DVB-TV-Card and multiple analog cards with WindowsXP. With "MCE Rollup 2" Microsoft updated the files "mpeg2data.

MediaPortal needs to support a large range of TV cards. For this it uses the Windows DirectShow API. The applications provided with most TV cards will communicate directly with the card and therefore can perform better in certain conditions. They can do this because they only need to support a very limited set of hardware and the provided applications typically have a limited feature set compared to MediaPortal.

Review the MediaPortalFeatures to see why you should use MediaPortal over other Mediacenter software. MediaPortal has been designed for Windows and will not run on linux. Myth TV is a similar project designed specifically for Linux. Yes, it does out of the box. As Windows MCE is basically an XP, all XP-requirements also apply for MCE. The MCE services are stopped by MediaPortal as well automatically. This is not supported officically.

The best resource I can recommend is indiecenter. The Mechanics Guide goes through the different aspects of pressing a record or CD and getting it distributed. The rest of the site contains organized listings of recording studios, pressing plants, printing companies, etc. From personal experience I can recommend Bags Unlimited for record jackets, mailers, CD cases, etc., and Sticker Guy for all your bumpersticker needs.

The answer depends on the size of your hard drive. XPMCE can record at four levels of quality - Fair, Good, Better, and Best. The better the quality, the more space the recording will take up. Microsoft say that 'Fair' uses up 1GB per hour and 'Best' uses 3GB per hour, with the others somewhere in between.

But at the moment switching between LNBs is only supported with Skystar2, firedtv/floppydtv and Technotrend TV-Cards.

Yes, you can watch encrypted channels, if you have a valid subscription card for the channels you want to watch. MediaPortal does NOT support softcams and will never support them! See this thread for some more details. Furthermore you need a TV card with CI that is properly supported. Currently only 2 kinds of cards are confirmed to be working with CI. Others might also work but that still needs to be tested thorougly.

The MediaPortal source code is about 160MB. However, SVN uses compression so only 66MB need to be downloaded, if you download the needed main trunk only. All other branches should not be downloaded.

Long answer: The minimum requirement for reproducing audio and video on DVD is an MPEG video stream and a PCM audio track. (Other streams such as Dolby Digital audio, MPEG audio, and subpicture are not necessary for the simplest case.) Basic DVD control codes are also needed. At the moment it's difficult in real time to encode the video and audio, combine them with DVD-V info, and write the whole thing to DVD. Even if you could do all this in a home recorder, it would be extremely expensive.

It is not possible to stop a scheduled recording "normaly". So to work around this, you have to go to "Smartnavi" and press the "STOP" key. This will stop the current recording without losing the already recorded data.

One error that prevents scheduled recordings from actually recording is as follows, check for this in the logfiles in /var/log/freevo/ NOTE: dont bother, add the fix anyways if it doesn't record. the errors sometimes never show up. sh: relocation error: ./runtime/dll/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_debug_files, version GLIBC_2.2 not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference The fix for this error is adding the following inside of src/tv/record_daemon.py.

Yes, a DVD recorder will allow you to record from the TV or VCR. DVD recorders appeared in the Australian market at the end of 2000 and are now becoming more widespread and affordable. A DVD recorder works like a VCR – it has a tuner and A/V inputs, and it can be programmed to record shows on TV. The difference is that unlike VCR, recordings on a DVD are instantly accessible and can be accessed from an onscreen menu.

This can be configured in the "MediaPortal Configuration" program where in the "General" part screen selection can be enabled by selecting "use screenselector" and setting the appropriate screen in the selection box afterwards. the moment there are no media extenders that work with MediaPortal. As a developer you are more than welcome to add support for those. This depends on your remote control.

Sometimes it is cost effective to travel to larger educational events - such as the AEA Regional or International Conferences, as you may be able to obtain all 15 of your required CECs at one time. Hands-on education also provides additional benefits not obtainable through home study. These events can also provide valuable networking opportunities. However, if you are not able to travel, there are still many options available to you for quality education.
