Having trouble installing or configuring MediaPortal?
Hi - as above, could be corruption - I had a really odd hard crash yesterday, on reboot, lost the MyTVService db. So, used backup & updated it current - fixed that problem - magic thinks I. But, looking at MovingPictures, found lost images in thumbs (although files still there) starting J, K & L. So, reboot - this time OS decided...

Hmm, could it be that your digital to analog box is just a video to RF converter? Means, that's the way you're hooking up your tv because there are no s-video or rca inputs on your tv? You don't have to search for a s-video to composite cable, the yellow rca out is your composite connection. The 10 pin out seems to be a component out...

I agree with MrCrabs. Had my HTPC connected via wireless in the beginning with quite good signal strength, but overall it was not satisfying. With Powerlan it's better, but still not as good as regular Ethernet. CU

Hi there, MPExtended is a backend solution allowing integration into MePo. By itself, it does not provide a front end, you will need something like aMPdroid (Android application), or WebMediaportal (for browser based access) to interface with MPExtended. J. ps - If I'm wrong please correct me :D

So I seem to have sorted out the issue. I can now get TV and scan the channels ok. Yet to get EPG data, but I'm sure I can work through that. What I had to do was rollback to Vista/2k drivers for my tuner. The Win7 drivers were causing the problem obviously. Not sure why, but there you go!

At the moment no I don't think there is. What is realy needed is the check that removes the database entries should either be user select option and/or should add missing database entries when new files are found. It could/should be moved to the 'clean up options' and not be automatic every time you enter 'recordings'
