MP1 MP2 EPG / Recording DE
Just a couple of EPG / Recording questions. Can the recording engine / epg distinguish between new and repeat episodes of a series? I am using SchedulesDirect to retrieve my schedule data. When I do a search, I get all the episode information, but the channel seems to be obscured. See included screenshot. Is there anything I can set...

Hey guys, Long time lurker since back when I first set up my first HTPC a couple of years back. I have been using XBMC and am starting to have frustrations with its user interface, but I still use it because it has a couple of key plugins I really like, such as support for Playon and the "MyLibrary" plugin. If I switched over, does...

Whenever I play a video the refresh rate of my 3d tv panasonic viera changes to 50Hz connected by hdmi 1.3 through a radeon 5670. XBMC works fine, cycling through 24Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz with each source (23.97fps, 25fps pal dvd and 29.97fps ntsc dvd). Zoom Player also works fine and does not change refresh rate, LAV smoothness enabled...

If you install ffdshow in video process decoder section and setup it to be able to be use after any video decoder, you can use it to delay audio in live from MP to make it sync. The important part is to set on raw video -> all supported, then ffdshow can work correctly as post process and you can ajust audio delay from MP (for sure...

As Edalex wrote, you have to know what kind of signal you have. In your case it must be DVB-C (digital video broadcast - cable, not -S for satellite or -T for terrestrial, and not iP-TV for television over internet connection). You must buy a DVB-C tuner card. I guess there are some free channels and some encrypted ones in your...

Thanks for your help. It seems that this has improved the stuttering. Main changes I did were in overscan, v-sync and trying different hardware acceleration.

Hi. Normally HDTV is coded in h264 so there should'nt be a difference at all. And this has nothing to do with mpeg2 vs h264. it's the "i" vs the "p" that makes the difference. "i" means "Interlaced" and "p" means progressive. This interlaced video only is half a video. The stations broadcast only every second line per frame and the...

Aaah allright, in that way.. It's not possible to do it manually that way, but you can try the Inteligent frame correction plugin, it has black bar detection and it will zoom in and out automaticly. Otherwise the viewmodeswitcher plugin does also that kind of things.

Found the problem. It was associated with historic WTC (Windows Media Centre) files recorded some 18 months ago before I started using MP. Converted them all to MKV format and no longer have the fast-forward dorp-out problem.
