Hi everyone, I just spend some days setting up MediaPortal with the TV server and my Nova HD S2 Card and finally it works quite okay. The only problem remaining is that the channel scan is crashing each time. One time I had luck, it was nearly 90% complete. The only channels missing are Pro7, Sat.1 and Kabel1. Can anyone tell...

I have been trying for about 3 hours to get this card working. Other posts say it can be done. The card seems to be installed correctly and MP sees the card and allows me to scan for channels and it seems to find them but the preview screen is black. When I go into MP and go to my tv it says that there is no signal. Is there a...

Is there a way to compress dvd to avi, divx, and so forth and still keep the 5.1/6.1 audio? Thanks

MP1 MP2 No Audio DE
Have you installed FFDshow tryouts? First time I installed I told it to do all programs and just ran into problems, re-installed with just the defaults and everything worked fine. Also check MP config, you can use the standard MP codec and tell it to do "passthru" so no conversion is done and your amp gets pure AC3/DTS from the...

I use FFDshow tryout plugin (everything including H.264) as the only codec, and have never needed anything else. For you I recommend for you too use the codecs from Nero (just watch the...

MP1 MP2 TV Guide Setup DE
For analog TV cards the best way would be to grab the data by WebEPG. It has 3 parts: 1. WebEPG-conf.exe in the MediaPortal folder - To configure WebEPG. 2. WebEPG.exe in the MediaPortal folder - To Manually run WebEPG. 3. WebEPG plugin - To set scheduled updates. See here: MediaPortalSetup WebEPG - MediaPortal Wiki...

I was swapping things around at the weekend and found plugging a 12v power adapter into the multi socket extension lead located close behind the HTPC knocked out the Freeview signal to the HTPC. It could be worth checking if you have any power adapters close to yr machine that may be effecting the TV tuner card or aerial lead?

I have a very simple question, but I can't find an answer anywhere... Is there a MP plugin available where you can just paste (in MP, not in MP-configuration) a link of a stream (for instance, an .asx stream from the internet) and play it?

MP1 MP2 Multicard setup? (1 Viewer) DE
thats 100% correct for analog TV. on dvb things are different. there you can have o.e. 6TV-Channels on the same transponder / frequence. this means that when you use the MediaPortal TV-Server, you will be able to record all 6 channels at once. but generaly speaking, it is adviced that you have at least 2 TV-Cards installed...
