Having trouble installing or configuring MediaPortal?

There is long time ago since the last post here.
I have a question. How can I activate pass-through in LAV? Is bitsreaming the same like pass-through? When I disable bitstreaming in LAV-filter and watch a movie with 5.1 sound, then the voice is missing. It seems like stereo. When I activate bitsreaming then it works how it should.
I'm...

Das kann ich dir nicht beantworten. Ich würde hier aber keine Zeit in die Fehlersuche investieren, wenn eine 4-5 Jahre alte Version im Einsatz ist. Schließlich hat es in dem Zeitraum einiges an Updates/Fehlerbehebungen gegeben.

I have also had this problem in the past. There are two components to this problem:
Your internet router is pinging the HTPC at regular intervals in order to see if the HTPC is still present on the network.
The network adapter in the HTPC has "Wake on Lan" enabled. So at the end of a recording, the HTPC transitions from away mode to...

Thank you for this tip! I'm moving MP TV Server to a new machine. I installed the 64-bit version and most of the MP firewall rules were set to Public. I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...

I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC.
TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

here is a small update:
it is probably not due to the Windows update. I ran a new transmitter scan and got the same result. MP no longer starts. Then I got the fuse back and everything works again. A simple reinstall of MP does not bring a solution. Maybe I should reinstall MP from scratch. However, I need a lot of time for this...

Actually, you just reminded me of how I have handled this in the past: I merged the contents of an old export.xml with a new one to make a complete file containing the old values I needed and the new values I didn't want to change. Why should it matter if the export file is missing some values? I would expect the import process to...

It's probably just a coincidence. I suspect a WIndows update as the culprit.

Some MP2 installers contain three TV Servers:
TVE3
TVE3.5

If the installer that you used offers you the choice of these three TV Servers, select TVE3. If you selected TVE3.5, run the installer again and select TVE3.
The Kodi plugin is described as being intended for MP 2.5 and TVE3, so it should work. Unfortunately I do...

So, I had disabled the Windows Update service. Not a wise move, until MP all installed and working nicely. The reason it failed is because DotNetFrameworkChecker.cs looks in Registry HKLM SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\NET Framework Setup\\NDP for v4/v4.0 AND v3.5. W10 has V4.0 but not 3.5. MP installer...

Before I used to update the dll via extension manager and for sure re-updated to Version 143 twice.

Hi,
Is it straight forward to upgrade to x64 version from x86?
Also, is there a list of plugins supporting x64?
Thanks,
Colin
Thank you both for your good and very detailed advice.
I think I will try to go for the x86 install.

I have recently installed MediaPortal 1.37 (x64) and MP-TVSeries v4.5.1.697 and unfortunately the TV episode runtime duration is missing in my Titan skin. This only applies to my .TS files, my .MKV files are OK. I believe the difference is likely to be because .MKV files embed the runtime in the file unlike .TS files.

Hi,
I didn't have SQL problems but just wanted to agree that on my Win7 system, a clean install of 1.36 TV server x86 does not work since it won't start the TV server configuration. Installing 1.33 first and upgrading to1.36 fixed the problem.
