Hi. APK is the Android Apps package format, so Asustor (never heard of that before) seems to be some kind of Android derivate. That's the reason why Kodi could be there that fast. An Android version of Kodi already exists. But for MediaPortal this nearly is impossible to achieve, as MediaPortal relays on some technologies not...

Am I right in saying that 1.0.2 now needs 3.5 SP1 and that 1.0.1 needed 2.0 sp1 ? Why the requirements for these? Can't they be slip streamed into the installer the way that the SQL requirements are?

I think the windows screen saver should work fine. I don't actaully use a screen saver but if you want the screensaver to kick in when MediaPortal decides to blank the screen then you could use this little plugin I just whipped up. Don't know if it is really of any use, but hey, if it does what you want, great. Just put the dll...

I can't find the function to lock the tuner on a specific frequency under the tv server configuration panels. It could be a good tool to check the signal when you try to tune an antenna (DVB-T) to get the best signal. Is that improvement suggestion already existing? Thank you ;)

The multituner works fine when you have 2 similar type of card. (2 analog tuners or 2 DVB tuners) In fact, my exact problem is this one. I have 2 hauppauge pvr150 cards. 1 for analog programs, one for my settop box via SVHS. Some channels exists on both sources. Because settings are linked directly to the channel (or...

try to set the AR to 1 in the settings. i have also an 42" 16:9 Plasma TV, and the HTPC connected via DVI to the Plasma. My HTPC has an Resolution of 800x600 (no 16:9 Format).

hi, maybe it's a good thing for some people out there those only have one sat-cable but want to record on different frequencies/transponders. (some SAT-Receivers have this option (Topfield TF5000PVR)) Maybe the TV-Service could be modified for that. You can use more than one card with one cable when you use an sat splitter...

The best way to do this is to simply use Power Scheduler, which is built in to the system. When you schedule the recording then leave the system at the "home" screen. After the recording has finished MP will shut down/Hibernate or whatever you specify. It can then turn on again to make the next recording (unless you choose shut...

Well If you edit the xml files you can choose where to display what information. There is a small how-to on the wiki page of this plugin. That's what VFD-Displays are good for ;) E.g. LCDSmartie draws a nice bar showing CPU Usage. This is not MP running at 99% cpu but Windows / NTFS's io-system stalling.. I think it would be hard...

I agree that both ideas would great. As far as Diskspace left goes, a simple 40gig free of 200gii although you could always have a popup or something added to the rightclick menu that shows something like: approx: 1 hour at HD 2 hours at SD 4 hours at DivX/Mp4 Just my two cents worth...

Maybe click once for 30 mins, hit again for 1 hours, hit again for 2 hours and again for 3 or 4 hours (to cover longer movies). Or every time you click it, it adds an extra 30 mins up to 4 hours worth.
