Thanks Ross, will check out at next opportunity! btw - tried DVBPortal's TSConverter, and yes it converted it to a dvr-ms file very quickly (~5 minutes for an hour of HD content at 720P) but was still unable to ff/rew in MCE, so really nothing gained at all... a gig or two less in the file size, but I don't really care about that -...

Looks like there is a slick built in feature to compress dvr-ms files to wmv. Can .ts be compressed with the same feature?

MP1 MP2 dvr-ms? DE
Good idea, but I tried that first. The .mpg files that are created are unusable. Choppy video and audio on both the MCE pc and the MediaPortal pc. Right next to the drop down to select .mpg as an output it says to us .ts if .mpg is a problem.

I have MediaPortal running on my HTPC, and it's quite nice. There's just one show-stopper: in the "My Videos" file list, how do I refresh the list? I have a directory that gets new content added frequently, and right now I need to go up a directory and back down to see it. I tried F5, but no dice -- it's mapped to fast forward or...

Yes, I did have the option to restart ticked. I've now changed that and so far so good. Most of the other issues were really documented to let developers know of problems in case they can see a trend and so set about fixing it. The only one I'd really like to fix is the one where there is a .TS file without corresponding .XML...

MP1 MP2 DVD/BRD/ISO Server DE
What I did for NAS For your storage (NAS) solution, I thought I'd point you to the server rig I built. It's got room for 20 drivers, so it just depends on how big of drives you've got in it. At the moment, I've got 2x160GB (system + timeshift/record), 8x500GB in RAID5 (ISOs), and 5x640GB in RAID5 (ISOs). I've got about 700 DVDs on...

I can't personally help too much with DVB-S issues, since I don't use a satellite connection (I use DVB-T in Australia, so not only a different transmission technology, but a different digital TV standard too).

Yes, sorry. should have posted a more detailed description. The second Worked just fine. I'm not sure if it's anything you can fix or not, but having an option that makes it possible for the program to freeze and will not even respond to exit program.

MP1 MP2 Cloning screen DE
Hi Adman, which graphic card is in use? Nvidia and ATI provide a clone mode, but you can not clone the video output, means you can clone the desktop, but only on one screen will be the video visible, the other stays black. Maybe i am wrong, at the time i needed, it worked this way.
