Really strange :confused: Did you also try another BBC program? I tried 2 others and systematically get the thumbnails.
Maybe the others show up, so it's not systematic and some wrong data only for the specific mp3 is remaining in the data base or elsewhere.

I am using MP 2.3.2 64bit on Win10. For OTA TV here in the US, I can not figure out how to enable Closed Captioning/Subtitles. The documentation talks about a separate file needed, but on live or recorded TV, that data is included with the signal so I don't think that applies. When I go to the submenu that displays the option for...

I never dealed in detail with this, because I needed just to connect my IRSS, install the driver and directly it worked out of the box with MP2.
Maybe other users may confirm, what they did or you tell us which remote you have.
There is also an input device manager within MP2 which you can try.

Hello,
Unicable is possible, I'm using it successfully in my installation.
But it totally depends on the driver of your tuner card. I'm using tuners from Digital Devices, eg. the Cine S2. The driver comes with a tool allowing configuration of normal or unicable mode and for mediaportal it always looks like a normal standard BDA tuner...

I really wanted MP to work but I downloaded NextPVR and HDhomerun. HDhomerun picked up all my channels right away and I can watch them there. I don't have NextPVR working yet so I don't get any TV guide or able to record. But it's closer than I've been before.
I don't understand why HDhomerun can pick up my channels and MP picks them...

Hmm. The watched-status flags are stored in the database, and the database is retained when you perform an update-install of MP (i.e. not a first-time install). So I would have expected the watched-status flags to be retained. Caveats:

As mentioned by @CyberSimian MP2 has very few plugins the important ones e.g. Online Videos are included in the MP2 install. See the attached screenshot for all currently available MP2 plugins but make sure they are supported on which ever version you have.

Hi.
Network tuners can be shared even on the same PC (done it often while testing different software, I'm using SAT>IP tuner that are similar to hdhomerun tuner but for European DVB). But you can not use them on both systems at the same time ofc.. Means if WMC is using a tuner (e,g, for a scheduled recording) MP can't use the same...
