Post problems you have when using MediaPortal, or pre installation questions in here.
Hello again Yep. :) Red does indicate TV Server thinks it is scrambled/encrypted... but TV Server can get it wrong. If you are 100% certain the channel is not encrypted, edit the tuning details and tick "free to air"...

Agreed. But MP developers are just ordinary people. They have wives/children to spend time with, lawns to mow, houses to maintain, jobs to provide an income. With freeware, one cannot expect bug fixes or enhancements to be made available on any particular timescale. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

Considering you've said almost nothing about what you use MP for and how tolerant you are to the issues that can sometimes be experienced with pre-releases, nobody could possibly anticipate if and how much any known issues with the pre-release might impact you. In short, nobody can give an informed response to you. I'm genuinely...

Can your streaming mechanism and WDTVLive handle AAC and AC3/DolbyDigital 5.1 audio? Depends on how you're connecting audio to your Colossus. If using S/PDIF (AKA TOSlink) or HDMI my understanding is that the audio is "passthrough"... which means it could be either AC3/DD or AAC, depending on the source (ie. the cable box); if using...

I've never used StreamedMP so I can't comment on that option, maybe there is something useful in the skin subforum. I use a mouse with the DefaultWide skin without problems, but also cheat a little with a logitech M510 mouse.

Strictly speaking, there probably is some amount of "good fortune" involved if there is any point in time, even a brief one, when a recording files pointed to in the database do not exist.

After some playing around I think I managed to get this to work but it requires manual editing of the MediaPortal.xml configuration file. Basically if you want to launch MediaPortal without it connecting to your TV Server, you need to disable the TV plugin. You'll need a batch file or small utility program to do this. I have a "kiosk"...

Right, understood - thanks. :) Before I say anything else I should say that QAM is digital. In other words, by itself the fact that your cable provider is going digital should not mean you can't continue to use your original HDHR just as you used to. The thing that would stop you from using the HDHR and require the CableCARD is if...

Hi, I recently installed MediaPortal and was trying to configure the xmltv plugin, however none of my plugins will let me tick the boxes to enable. I have a message at the top of the plugins screen saying plugins are incompatible. I searched and could not find any info on this. Is this a known issue with version 1.8? Any ideas? Thanks!
