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'd prefer to keep the server using 192.168.2.1 so that it's still able to work and record programmes if the network goes...

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...

If you search the forums then you will find many request to port MediaPortal to Linux. Generally speaking this idea is good. But the Team MediaPortal simply does not have the required manpower to port MediaPortal to other operating systems and maintain this versions, since this is an opensource project.

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).

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.
