Quite simply it has changed the way we watch media in our house, we have it running in several rooms and we quite honestly couldn't live without it.
I bought a HTPC 4 years ago and MP was pre installed, after messing with it for a while i was hooked.
Family and friends who see it are always impressed with the way it looks and...

Well, despite disabling ipv6, I can still see the error this morning. I guess the errors are random, no worries.
I did a search for "genaservercontroller" and got 2 hits that reference Mediaportal 2 on Github. The linked items are from long ago, 12 years or so.

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience and the settings you changed to get your Mediaportal PCs working on both Windows 10 and 11! It's always helpful to hear about these kinds of solutions, especially when there isn't much discussion around the issue.
I'm not the most tech-savvy person, but I'll definitely keep your tips in mind if...

Ok some good news after much tearing out of hair lol as i refuse to be beaten at problem solving i managed to find out where EPG Collector gets its epg from and found it gets it from 'freesathome' so cribbed the settings from that and added the freesathome channel to the radio channels and selected that channel only to collect epg...

Old post I know but i used mediaportal back in 2012 to record the Queens Jubilee using a usb freeview dongle, was really impressed by it features, for some reason i stopped using my usbtv and recording live tv i guess life got in the way so didn't bother again until now, i just bought a TBS6920 pcie card for my new pc build so i could...

Hi everybody,
after 15+ years of using MediaPortal, I gave Kodi with an VDR backend a try as I wanted to switch from Windows...
That was it! :)
I had to set it to "Maintain display scaling". I think it was set to "Maintain Aspect Ratio", which added black bars to MediaPortal when playing videos that didn't conform to a strict 16:9 ratio, I suppose.
Thanks to everyone for the patience and help, I can finally enjoy videos fully.

A WORK AROUND !!!
Hello to everyone again.
I too was experiencing these problems.
I was using 1.25v of MP with 32 gigs of memory, win7.
The reason why it occurs is due to the the number of files scheduled to be recorded.
Solution:-
Check the number of scheduled recordings (and scheduled series to be recorded) and reduce them...

There appears to be a memory leak in TvService.exe of about 15KB per hour. After restarting my system (W10, MP 1.27) Windows task...
Thanks for the suggestions, and I will be exploring to see what I can get to. My remote does indeed support button allocation, sequences etc. abnd I have been using these.
As you say there is no longer an action for Restart MP. There used to be, as described here - but no longer as I think that was really for actual MCE remotes and...

Just thought that I would share what I have discovered in madVR settings with my NVidia graphics card.
First of all, I'm using LAV + madVR + MPAR. I have a 1660s graphics card.
The two main issue I found with madVR was;
1. Jumping image with 23p and 24p video.
2. Stuttering with UI like the TV guide.
The first was fixed by changing...

Hey guys,
as madVR support for MP seems to be progressing (see here...
I found the answer. The files were downloaded, and must have had some sort of corruption in them that passed the other players I tried them in, but produced the green bar in the TVSeries plugin. After downloading the files again, the problem went away. Thanks for your help.

Hello,
No clue why, for further help, need to post log with debug level, maybe it will tell more.
Still on my side, it doesn't change if it's already in the same DRR :)

I see that you are using the "Titan" skin (I normally use a different one). My "Videos" section has a "Biography" folder, and when I display that using "Titan" I see screen shot (1) below. If I select one of the folders in the list ("Abba" in this case), I see screen shot (2) (click the image to see it full size):

Well, thank you. Knowing that it is not the same Media Portal does help me, so I know I do not have to look into this any further.
You are right, I think I just contact to Edision support next.
Best regards

Yes. If the TV is also used for Live-TV the format is indeed not perfect. That's why we placed it in the bed room last year and the living room got a larger 16:9 Samsung TV with selfmade Ambilight :)

The checkbox mentioned is unchecked. I found a solution. I had selected the AV HDMI device as the audio renderer in the MP Config. I switched to DirectSound and the issue disappeared, along with a problem with DTS passthrough. Some issue with WASAPI apparently.

I have never used Kodi, so I cannot give you any advice on getting Kodi to work with MP's TV Server. However...
I notice that there is a new version of Kodi's "MediaPortal PVR Client" (dated today!) for Kodi version 19. It might be worth trying that. Download it from here.
If it still does not work, I think that you will need to...

I couldn't get it to work, either I can see the TV guide but TV channel won't play or keep saying TV server starting up 0%.
Any idea?
I've been using version 1.2.2.0 for years and have found no need to upgrade to newer version. I hate it that skins loose compatibility with almost every new version. And new skins are too 'fancy' for my taste. I use a customized version of the default wide skin with only Videos and TV in the main menu.
I use mediaportal for recording...

Not quite that simple - or that complicated. I have used Schedules Direct for years and highly recommend it.
There is a complete "how to" guide in the MP Wiki.
Read that - yes it requires some work and time to get it going - but once running it's reliable and a very comprehensive EPG is the result.

:oops:.....Doh!!!!
My bag entirely it seems!
Did a full install of 1.29 last week....instead of the usual upgrade.
Although I did an export/import of settings...perhaps the epg settings weren't passed on!!?
When I actually looked at the epg page.....only BBC 1 HD was selected....:rolleyes:
Thanks...all sorted now!!
