Newcomers to MediaPortal may start here with their questions
This has been a long time to come back and is intended to let you know what I found, so here goes. 1.5 continued to crash due to lack of memory. What I found was while recording the TV Server service slowly grew in memory, so if I recorded for 6 hours straight then memory grew to around 1g. If recording stopped on all cards then TV...

Sorry, I simply can't adequately respond to questions like this without log files. I know how MP should work... but there are potentially factors I haven't anticipated. For example: the German tracks may be AC3/DD while the English is only MPEG 2 or AAC. If you had prefer audiotype over language ticked then that would explain things...

Thanks for the explanation. It's good to hear that 1.6 gets around these problems more easily and presumably more quickly.

Hi random. 1 - Not that I'm aware of. Was that more or less a shortcut to record something you found in the guide screen? 2 - The standard Titan skin does show an OSD volume level when turning up or down the volume using an MCE-compatible remote.

Are you using the USBUIRT to receive input from your remote control, or are you using it to try to change the channel on a cable/satellite box you are recording from?

OK now that I've looked at this in a bit more detail it seems aMPdroid doesn't have any playlist functionality (I've never had cause to use them so I'd not noticed it was missing). Playlists are supported by MPExtended so maybe Eve or MPTVClient uses them. There's talk of a new version of aMPdroid coming soon, maybe DieBagger has...

MP1 MP2 TV Scheduling Question (1 Viewer) DE
Hello and welcome sc John :) Okay. It is by design. TV Server actually does try to start recording channel C at 8:59 PM. It fails because you don't have any tuners available to start recording channel C until 9:01 PM when the channel A and B recordings finish. If you have the 1 minute pre/post set... The first recording starts at...

Bit of a sweeping statement - I have three Kworld USB DVB-T tuners that are rock-solid/work perfectly in MP. Kworld look like they are the same as 95% of the tuner suppliers - they re-brand OEM products from various factories, so you get some good products and others which are so-so. At least they have a reasonable driver/software...
