Having trouble installing or configuring MediaPortal?
:S Presently SAF V4 thread is 541 pages. SAF V5 thread is 129 pages. Should take you just a few minutes. ;) But seriously, I concur with SAF V5. No problems here, and it's just one click to uninstall if you want to. Might I also suggest, after you get everything working, take a look at my personal favorite plugin...

Thats very bad, because i have many different channels from different satellites with the same name, this independent channels were combined to one. And i cant choose or...

No, i didn't check which version you are using so i just assumed that you used older version. Regarding restart of tv service. Have you tried power scheduler plugin to reinitialize tv service on wakeup in advanced tab of powerscheduler plugin config window? You could also use powerscheduler plugin for starting batch script which...

Hey pwatt, I still never got it working - man, I wish I could! It's supposed to work as long as your motherboard support PCI PME wake-up - which I believe my motherboard does.

Please post tv server logs from c:\document and settings\all users\application data\team mediaportal As it is a stripped down version of xp sp3 it might not have necessary services installed or running. First post logs and after that if nothing is there you could install proper xp and try again.

I've located on the TV-Server scheduler tab an option to not record repeat episodes but it doesn't seem to be working! As you see in the image, our local PBS shows the same episode three times a day and MP is recording all of them by incrementing the filename. Am I doing something wrong? Is this function broken?

Hi moab, Rik is pretty much right. I have the same scenario - two identical cards in my PC, so I just do a scan on one card, then make sure all the channels are mapped to the second card as well. In terms of the naming of the cards (as in the Windows device name) both my cards are the named the same and I've not come across a...

Part of the reason is due to the new installer for the latest MS-SQL package. The team are unable to integrate the MS-SQL installer in the MP installer, this would make setting thing up initially a bit more complicated. Considering it isn't the easiest app to get going in the first place I think it would make new users even more wary...

Hi riksmith, yes, that is way better. Without a visible button (or any other hint) myself and probably most users which do not configure Mediaportal frequently are not aware that users are supposed to add the details except the name of the radio channel in a seperate dialog. Another idea: You could place the add button next to...

I'm in the middle of installing 1.1 as a fresh install so I haven't seen the new TV Server yet (my other installs are 1.0.x). But maybe this will help. After you install MP and TV Server ... if you move TV card to a different slot (or maybe if you install another TV Card) the TV Server gets confused. What I would suggest (what I...

I've just slung the Nova T500 into a spare ASUS Pundit I had, and done a clean XP install and all the same steps as on the media PC I had, and no unknown channels on the channel scan. Not sure if it's related. Looks like it works on the Pundit, but not on the homebrew Media PC. I had to install some codecs (I used the XP Codec Pack...

I have a generic remote that has been setup similar to an MCE remote but some of the keys don't work for instance EXIT/ESC. When I push the EXIT button on my remote iMON reports the keypress on my LCD but it seems as though nothing is mapped to that keypress. So how the heck do I map the key presses to an actual function in MP...
