If you really mean a power failure, you need to check the motherboard BIOS to see if there is a setting to control the behaviour. My Dell XPS 420 has such a setting, and I can choose between: Remain off after a power failure. Reboot after a power failure. If your system reboots, "TV Server" starts automatically (because it is a...

AW: Annoying CI OSD asking continuously for Rights Check my try before you posted your modification was to: - catch the ci menu object - fill the ci dialog / notify dialog - set ci menu object = null - do modal. this way I need only the single variable without list. the thing I missed was the Reset() part.

OK, 1st off thanks for the plugin but how the hell is it supposed to pickup the STB's and learn the IR frequencies? All I see is a way to select a preset dropdown list (my box isnt on there).

I might have asked this before but I can't see that I have in this thread, so apologies if I've missed it. I was wondering if there's any way this could be adapted to allow other clients to access the TV Server?

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...

After the upgrade, the remote does not do anything in MP and I get the message HCWHELPER has stopped working. Please let me know how I may get the remote working again if possible. Many thanks. Dave

Hello again Micah Thanks for the exceptionally clear info. :) From this information and your previous comment "I recently installed StreamedMP 1.7.8.3202" it seems clear to me that one of the plugins installed with StreamedMP is the likely cause of these problems, though the underlying issue is not clear to me. @ltfearme any...

MP1 MP2 Goodbye MediaPortal DE
Thought I might get in my 2 cents worth. Started with MP last year and have been impressed with it - can view everything i have and mostly TV has been good except for recently when the stuttering has plagued things. Thought I would give W7 a shot with MC - never used it before because it doesn't get NZ DVB-T. Like you say, easy to...

That may be part of the answer. WMC is not using the LAV CODEC. WMC is probably using a different CODEC for the AC3 in the MP TS than it is for the WMC files. Whatever AC3 CODEC WMC is using does have trouble controlling audio volume over HDMI. I have not tried controlling the volume out an analogue connector. Thanks.
