[addon] MediaMVP for BTV 4.8.1

[alphadog00]

This thread has not been updated in a while and i notice the plugin is almost a year old. Are there any other front end options as cheap as the Media MVP? If I go with this plugin and a Media MVP will it:

1. Work if I am running BTV 4.9.1 on XP x64?
2. Any way to transcode HD programs in advance so i can stream them to the MVP box?
3. Is the setup stable?

Anything else I should be wary of? I don't really care about watching live tv, i just want to watch recorded shows in my bedroom.

Thanks for any advice

if your looking to just watch shows from your BTV server, i would get a nice skin for the MVP. look around tipstir has a few nice ones floating around. i have played with the btv front end for the mediamvp and it is pretty damn buggy. im thinking about doing the same thing. i will let you know tonight how it goes once i get it all worked out.

here is a video of the vista theme i found from tipistir

FYI ... learned by sad experience that the latest version of VLC 1.0.1, not compatible with this.
