Hi guys I've recently installed the StreamedMP skin on to MP1.8 and found a few things which didn't work. I fixed these by updating plugins and installing later versions of MP-TVSeries etc However I have two problems remaining, the menu items Music and Pictures do not work. When I select them the background is shown and then after...

Oke, so what I want is to stream only 8 channels over the web. So what I've learned over the year is that the process is split into three parts. 1. The source, which is the pc decoding and transcoding usind dvb-s cards and software (like mpextended?) sending that to the external bandwidth server. 2. The actual server that grabs the...

Not sure holding the Remote button down is a good repro; probably depends on the remote you are using. Some remotes, when the button is held, resend the main data bits but toggle one bit to indicate to the receiver that the button is actually being held down rather than user is tapping quickly (this is what makes some less-expensive...

I think you're looking @ the wrong file. It's NOT the MediaPortal.exe.config which you can find in C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal, but the MediaPortal.xml which you can find in your C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal folder. This MediaPortal.xml file contains all your settings (as mentioned before) and if...

Please read our wiki page first: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/9_Reference/TV_support. I think there was an experimental SlimTv provider for Argus backend some years ago, but I cannot find it any longer (and it is probably outdated).
