Many questions to finetune Media Center
I finally had sometime on hand to write these questions. I have multiply issues with my HTPC, that I want to lose if possible.
I have just reinstalled Windows 7, so I have none codecs except the default.
I know it is much to ask for, but I hope someone can help. If you just know the solution to one point, it would still be great.
- How can I get my surround reciever to decode the audio stream instead of the soundcard. It is connected through SPDIF? I do here sound, but somewhere back in my head, I have a voice saying, this is not optimal. As I recall, my receiver could show either Dolby Digital or DTS, when I played a DVD from my DVD-player, which also was connected through SPDIF. But now the receiver wouldn't.
- Can I clear the "movielist" cache in either MCE and/or Mediabrowser? I have som movies which isn't detected and others which are. Bad thing is that it sometimes detect movies that isn't here, so I can't play it.
- In my movie folder I have another folder called privat movies. Can I somehow get Mediabrowser and MCE to not detect this, as I want it elsewhere?
- Can I setup different zoom levels for diffenrent channels automatic? I have both DVB-T free-to-air channels and one analog channel (satelite). The DVB-T channels have okay zoom level, both the analog doesn't. Which means that I have to change it manually before and after I watched the channel. Can I set this up, so MCE remember a prefered zoom level for at least the analog channel?
- Can I get MCE automatically set subtitles for each channel? Some channels need subtitles, others don't and the channels that need subtitles doens't need the same. On one I get the current time i the top right corner, and it stays there.
- Can I somehow get Mediabrowser to go directly into my movie folder instead of showing the "root" for it? I only use mediebrowser for movies, so it is a bit annoying, that I have to press enter before I can se my whole collection.
- Can I somehow get MCE to understand not to go into sleep, if I start a game from inside MCE? I use "MCE Standby Tool". It is annoying playing a game, when the computer just go to sleep, because it hits the minutes with MCE in idle mode.
