Thanks Ron The examples certainly help my understanding of the problem. The information - name and channel number - that you see TV Server grabbing is all that we have available, so at least on that side we can't do any better. I think SchedulesDirect attempts to match on the channel number or callsign, hence it usually has a better...

Okay, understood. This is difficult because the settings that affect a tuner's behaviour can be global (ie. affect all tuners) or tuner-specific (ie. affect only one tuner). You may notice that all the "random" or "non-bulk" tuner-specific settings are already configured in one place...

Okay, then for the client part. Indeed, never had problems with TV server part. But as you said, there are several threads about corrupted databases (either MePo itself or plugin related, which does not really matter if the result is MePo crashing). So, especially for the not-so-experienced user, maybe some kind of backup- and restore...

Actually, if you MANAGE MePo via RDP, then you WILL get autostart set next time you log in, it matters not which account installed as. To fix autostart, run msconfig and deselect mediaportal for th3e account you use for RDP - this can be via RDP session or console login. Ideally I would like MePo not to start EVER in RDP [as I...

...or enable tuner preloading so the first tune doesn't take as long. ...or wait a little. gibman has done some work on "async tuning" for TVE 3.5... which means the UI would probably stay responsive while the back end is handling the tune request.

Hi This is something that has been bubbling in the back of my mind for a little while now. Would MP benefit from having a series remind function (an extension to the current reminder system) that is stored on the TVServer (like a schedule) that is also attached to a hostname; i.e. I have two clients, A and B. Client A sets a series...

I was just gonna submit such an idea. The thing is Reinstalling Mepo is not quite as fun as it should be. Especially if you have to do it over and over again.

Hello, If thinking this as a plugin only for MP1, making it working and user-friendly would need: 1. Compiling the source to .NET 4 (like @Lehmden said). 2.
