MediaPortal 1.36 / 2.5.0

MediaPortal turns your PC into a comprehensive media center. It works on modest hardware, connects directly to your TV, and presents your TV shows, movies, photos, and music. Enjoy all your content on your large-screen LCD, plasma TV, or projector!

The hundreds of plugins and skins allow you to do almost anything: monitor your HTPC, view sports scores, or check local movie showtimes.

MediaPortal is a revolutionary media control platform that lets you watch, listen, read, and play your media exactly how you want – without interference or the need to learn complex navigation systems. It allows you to stream and download web TV, Apple Trailers, YouTube videos, or internet radio. MediaPortal can even be launched with music playing from a preselected playlist.

This Media Center works on many different configurations. You don’t need a fancy, expensive system. Connect your TV and sound system to your existing PC, and you’ll be up and running quickly. Easily configure MediaPortal to display on your TV screen.

MediaPortal is an advanced Multi-Media Center / HTPC:

• Watch, schedule, and record live TV – like a TiVo, but better.
• Play videos, movies, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs.
• Listen to music and radio.
• Enjoy pictures, home videos, or create a slideshow.
• Stream media, radio, and TV to any HTPC / PC connected to your network.
• Use a remote to control your HTPC from your couch.
• Access the software from the web or mobile device.
• Check the weather, news, RSS feeds, and more

Alternatively, you can set up a separate Home Theatre PC (HTPC) to run MediaPortal and connect it to your existing network. Alternatively, you can configure an advanced network with MediaPortal on a server and as many ‘client’ PCs as you like. Network architecture is fully supported, allowing you to stream radio, music, video, and live or recorded TV throughout your home.

Use your mouse, touchscreen, keyboard, or remote to display in fullscreen or windowed mode. The choice is yours.

This media center boasts one of the most powerful TV engines and personal video recorders available today. It can do everything a TiVo can, and more – all for free.

You can use unlimited TV cards, including analog cards, with support for many options. A single DVB/ATSC card lets you watch and record multiple channels simultaneously. Cards that support BDA driver architecture require no configuration.

MediaPortal was designed especially for Microsoft Windows. Thus, the performance and playback quality is unsurpassed. No additional hardware or commercial software is required.
