Sorry to hear you're still having trouble. This is usually not a problem. The fact that you're trying to use an existing database can be a bit of a complication if you're not familiar with the database configuration. BSODs can be triggered by any program like MediaPortal, but the underlying cause is badly behaved drivers, operating...

Fantastic. :) No need to apologise - we all need a little help to figure things out occasionally, and that is what we're here for. :) Nope, it is fine as is. Happy TV watching! :D

I own a receiver since about 3 months. I have had it configured with only two speakers so i have everything set to stereo in MePo, both at the mepo audio render, and in the music section of WASABI. My little brother has bought new audio equipment and had a spare active subwoofer, so I wanted to see if a subwoofer would be a nice...

Hi toricred. I see you've posted a ton in the past about your DirecTV/MP setup. I'm trying to break into that myself using Colossus cards.

Thanks for the kind welcome and great tips!

Just for everyone's info. Last night I had some problems after removing all channels and scanning using antenna instead. After that I kept having problems with audio/video not found in client. After restarting the server, no more flickering bottom. So I guess I should use antenna instead.

It's kind of hard to explain what the problem is. The bottom of the live TV is cut off and kept flickering with another image.

Might be a bit to much hassle for ya, but... you can always try MediaPortal out on a Virtual Machine first ;) You're correct that setting up our system isn't as easy as with Media Center, but like Neild7744 says: in the end you'll be happy you did it. You simply get SO much back if you invest a little bit more.... :love:

So is there still an outstanding question here? To be clear, h.264, AAC and MP3 are all specific media stream formats. Such media streams are usually wrapped in a container format when streamed or stored in files. Some examples of container formats that you might have heard of: MKV, MP4, TS, MPG, AVI. So what we're saying to you is...

I might have asked this before but I can't see that I have in this thread, so apologies if I've missed it. I was wondering if there's any way this could be adapted to allow other clients to access the TV Server?

I couldn't find the "Share" view, so I've changed GUI's languaje from Catalan to English in order to upload a screenshot of what I had in the menu, and then I realized that there was a confusing translation: The first item in the list "Cançons" means "Songs", nothing to do with shares, folders or root.
