Flicked; Flicker Plugin For Media Portal

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Meant to post infos about this a few weeks ago.  Its a plugin for media portal that lets you view all your photos, groups and contacts just as you would on your flicker homepage. This plugin also uses the flickr api so any photos you have marked private etc will be viewable though this plugin.

The plugin reached its first milestone and has been released here; http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/plugins-47/flicked-flickr-plugin-mediaportal-53103/

Currently im awaiting the release of media portal 1.0.1 before moving on with development due to the plugin/skin revamp.

Media Portal RC4 Soft Subs and EPG Woes

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Ive recently setup a nice media pc PVR type thing. It took some digging but eventualy I decided to settle on the sublime media portal its a great program, open source with good comunity and half decent documentation. I had a couple problems that I thought I should post a solution to :)

Soft subs

I watch a bit of anime now and again a needed to use softsubs however media portal dosent really support this out of box. Bit of searching I came across this thread even though its for an older version the solution still works.

DVB-T EPG

This really annoyed me because I was stuck for so long and the solution was so simple! I was getting absolutly no information in my program guide  everything appeared to be setup to get the guide from DVB-T, the answer was to simply disable any encypted channels in the channel list in the TV (wiki link).
