If you want to keep your local trailers you could just do a search in your movie folder for 'trailers', copy them into its own new folder and run the trailers plugin. Simple skin mod and you can play local trailers for your collection. I currently use media center master to find all my movie data, structure my movie database, download...

Just to complete this thread...the above advice is correct and works well. 1) download trailers plugin and setup config. 2) modify theme using the attached files mentioned in thread. 3) re boot MP and job done!

Yes I've just bought a gigabit switch. Certainly streaming seems better. I had 2 HD channels playing earlier, one on tv server, one on client and didn't seem to be an issue. File transfer went from 10Mb/s to 80Mb/s on gigabit.

OK very tentatively, I think I have cured the problem. After much faffing around the EPG has now been downloaded & imported. I was able to do a remapping for both tuners & then remapping under the XMLTV setup thingy. Thank you again for all your kind help. Cheers Lacanox ;)

MP1 MP2 Exit away mode DE
Hello, I was really concerned by this issue for years! Your explanations here let me understand the Win 7 logic about away-mode! To exit the 'away-mode', Win 7 needs activity from a HID-compliant device. I just noticed Windows exits away-mode when connecting my Htpc from Ultra-VNC (so without HID hardware) so there should be a way to...

if all 3 of your tuners have the same channels mapped then you are probably seeing a different problem and log files will be needed to help understand the problem. Try recording 1 show, make sure the recording has started then start a 2nd recording for a different show/channel. Save and upload the log files to another message in this...

Hello and welcome chug :) I recommend you completely disable all firewalls (don't forget the Windows firewall) on both the client and server while troubleshooting. I also recommend if you're new to MediaPortal that you try a "single-seat" configuration on the server first if at all possible, and then extend it to include client(s)...
