Hi all, brand new MP user! I want to put custom thumbnails in for all of my directories, but what I want to know is how they are supposed to be named in relation to the directory, and also the size in pixels for a 1:1 display of the pic for the 'Big Icon' size? I guessed 215 x 310 :D Thanks in advance :)

Thanks I gues I have to take it from the start again. It's a lot of copying though.... all films and also one day of updating the splendeed "Moving picture" plugin. I have learned a lot and a fresh install with my experience on top would eventually solve the problem. But I didn't learn the cause of the problem and that...

Hi there and welcome :) The recordings itself are stored on disc. You can configure locations in TVServer Setup. It is created as ts files which should be usable in almost all proper videos applications. If you want to save space, try MCEBuddy as a standalone app, outside MP. NJOY :D

Now that you seem to get it working, the zap-time can be adjusted in a little more in MP Configutation, I find the default 2 and 5 seconds a bit too much personally.

Nope TV cards don't do this. That "TV Out" is a pass through for the aerial, so you can hook the aerial up to a 2nd device eg TV/VCR.
