Post problems you have when using MediaPortal, or pre installation questions in here.
Ok thanks I'll look into an aerial amplifier. I'm still confused why it used to work and not now. It worked in all weather as well as I remember watching in summer without a problem. I do have Netflix and I guess I don't watch a great deal of TV, although every now and then there's something on I'd like to watch.

Hi, I've gotten the client / server working and all seems good, but what happens is that when I turn on a remote client the TV server automatically wakes up I play a lot of films/tv-series/ music that doesn't actually need the TV server to start up, but I'm struggling to find a way to let it sleep. Power Schuduler has "standby...

I am still having problems with no audio after starting (including auto-start on reboot) MP or resuming from sleep. It only occurs if I enable the "Hide Windows Volume OSD" setting, I would like to have both the Windows and MP volume OSDs hidden as I use the HDMI volume control in the CEC Remote plugin which shows my AVR volume OSD...

Many thanks CyberSimian, early testing is suggesting that seems to have solved the problem. The correct DLL isn't particularly easy to identify in that thread - there are three versions; so I attach it here for anyone else having similar issues Just a few more problems to sort and we'll be back in business!

@CyberSimian : 'Cleanup recordings' worked; invalid entries are gone now. You were right about the file name settings: in the 'series style' title there was an episode-name parameter that must have caused the trouble. Thanks!

I've spent some time investigating the issue. The problem appears to be caused by missing or corrupted PCR timestamps in the file (which is why the duration of the file looks wrong e.g. 1.6 seconds instead of the actual 2 minutes 9 seconds. The file data from Mediainfo: General ID : 4 (0x4)...

Hmm, I don't think that the <label> code that I showed is quite what you want. The <label> code is what is needed to generate a sensible item count in the top left corner of the panel. Because "#itemcount" and "#selectedindex" are unreliable, I don't think that you will be able to achieve what you want. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK

I don't know how that option works 'under the hood' in MP, but another user had a recent problem related to Remote Desktop connections (Power Scheduler stopping the PC from sleeping due to an active RDP connection), so maybe something has changed in Windows 10 recently?

Ah ha, yes that could be a clue. I do use a vpn and its control program was updated recently. It maybe that if the vpn is connected when going to sleep it could take a while before it reconnects on wake up (the old version did not attempt to reconnect) and may be blocking network traffic while doing so. I will give it a few days of...

I wasn't able to find the source of the problem but I was able to fix it.

Then I scanned the DVB-C and DVB-T card to find the deleted channels again and matched it...

Another Update: The startup issue is definitely NVidia driver related. I retrograded the Nvidia drivers on my PC, to what was previously installed before Windows Update upgraded them. MediaPortal 1.21 Final fires up as per normal. Not sure exactly which NVidia drivers cause the startup issues, but is something quite bizarre.

Thanks @CyberSimian , I'm pretty convinced it was the lan doing it now - hopefully setting it to "magic packet only" will sort it out. I'd been looking through the MP logs trying to find out if PowerScheduler was doing the waking up, then realised the Windows event log showed the reason for wakeup. I reckon it was probably happening...
