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...

I've recently installed MP2 and Kodi on a Firestick to try and stream recorded OTA TV over Wifi.
Quality is good, but not great (interlacing issues, some artifacts - I posted this in a separate thread).

Hi - Thanks for the information.
The problem seems to have been solved, not sure what solved it but I re-installed all the codecs, I did find that I had more than one set of drivers for my tuner card which I have now removed.

Hello.
I have used MP for several years now. But my HTPC crashed and now I have a new one with Windows 10.
I have a few questions...
It sure is capable of doing that. Used it like that myself for years.
Perhaps some logs from the client that didn't play the tvstream can help

The display of the day in additon to time is subject to the skin that you are using. WMC is not displaying the weekday, but a BlueVision skin does.
This screen seems to be using the format that corresponds to the original Windows OS language (suggesting that you are using a US Windows). I switched to UK settings here, yet this screen...

Per HTPSourcer's recommendation, I decided to ditch MP1 and start over again with MP2. At first MP2 wouldn't work at all, but after uninstalling MP1, and MP2, and all the plug-ins, and rebooting multiple times, and more uninstalls, I finally got it. Yay! I don't have any hair left on my head, but at least I have MP2 working!
I can...

I just installed MP 1.23. Which version of Schedules Direct should I use, where do I obtain it from
DE
After a full afternoon of trying to install MP 1.23 I opted for 1.22 which, somehow, I was able to get installed. Then I got the latest version of SD and it failed to play nicely with 1.22 . The SD version was SchedulesDirectPluginTV3,dll. Then, I literally searched for every occurrence of this plugin and deleted it. But still the TV...

Which version of Schedules Direct works with MP 1.23? Where do I get it from? Where do I put it on my computer?
Thanks,

I installed a plugin for Schedules direct. MP indicates that it is damaged and will not work. I have deleted every reference I can find to this plugin and yet the Configuration Manager keeps telling me that this version does not work. I downloaded a different version of the plugin but I can't seem to get MP to recognize the newer...

Or is it just a case of adding backslashes to the "Custom paths and filenames" format, to add sub-folder levels?
E.g. %title%/%title%
In addition, how can the year of the Movie be added to the filename e.g. "Ponyo (2008)"? Again, this is required by Kodi for scraping purposes, to differentiate between different remakes.
Naming...

I am not sure that I understand what setup you are trying to achieve. Some suggestions:
(1) Place the PC adjacent to the TV. Connect the video output from the PC to the video input on the TV. Most desktop PCs and laptops have HDMI output sockets these days, and most modern TVs have HDMI input sockets, so you simply need an...

@koesterkm , although not using MP1 anymore I remember that the resolution of this problem for me consisted of either entering the computer name or the numeric IP address. Have you tried to enter your local IP (alternatively the loopback 127.0.0.1)?
