Does anyone know whether it is possible to play video and audio in MP via a firewire connection? I connect my video camera (camcorder) to my PC via firewire connection to playback or capture video and audio.. I was thinking that I could extend this to play analogue sources via firewire.
Any thoughts?
I just realised that an...

None of the North American providers allow PC use of a CAM. A CI DVB card in Europe is sometimes allowed depending on the provider's policies but in Canada you're SOL for LEGAL satellite. However, if you're in TO or somewhere closer to the US border, you may be able to use an ATSC tuner card to pickup US OTA channels.

Update - MediaPortal Only Issue
It appears to be an issue in the MediaPortal client. If i use the TV Engine and the MPTV client i can get the server to stream two channels at once (from the same sat-source).
When i use MediaPortal and attempt to try to record two channels at the same time, it asks me how to manage the clash...

My experiences:
1) When the user has already installed a db the installation is not that easy. I suggest using an installationless database where the executables are just put to the application directory like sqlite.
2) Empty db-acc-pws are not accepted. So it does not work with a passwordless account.
3) If you choose a non...

Installing an SQL server would just be to separate the load between different machines, but since the load won't be that high, it is indeed maybe overkill.
