Suppose I progam Myth Busters with a lead-in of 7 minutes and a lead-out of 10 minutes. One day, Discovery broadcasts 2 shows. Mediaportal uses 2 tuners during the overlap of the lead-in of the second show. Mediacenter of Microsoft detects that the shows connect and ignores the lead-in/out because you will be able to see it anyway. Is...

MP1 MP2 Manual recording DE
docsell6, there is no feature to rename TV recordings once they are done. The respective info is coming from the EPG data, which you are lacking. I would kindly suggest that you keep working on getting the EPG to run. Posting your logs might be a good start to get some help from the community to resolve this issue. regards...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Yes, on every install I always set it as a hybrid card but I always get the same problem. When changing from satellite to terrestrial or viceversa I get no signal error message. This is very frustrating and every time I have to uninstall and go back to media centre. A real shame! If any one could give me a...

I used the manual control to record from a channel (channel 9, local PBS in Seattle). The recording worked, a .ts file was recorded. When I playback the recording the image is barely visible. Audio is great. Questions: 1.) How do I troubleshoot this problem? I don't know where to start. 2.) What codecs might be involved in...

Hi Don. There are a range of skins you can choose from, see below. In changing the skin, your doing just that, changing the colour schema, layout and brightness, but generally, your limited to what the skin designers view on 'light and dark'. Suggest you take a look at the skins section within downloads, look at the associated...

Hi Don Pick, that depend on the skin. Some skins are installed over the Mediaportal extension installer (start->team mediaportal->mediaportal->mepo extension installer), some of the skins have they own installer, so you have to download them and execute the file (like streamedmp par ex.) and some skins have to be downloaded (.mpe1...

MP1 MP2 Rebuilding Server DE
If it's the same version of windows you could use an image of the whole hdd. I use acronis for that. If you are happy with the way everything is installed currently it may be the easiest way. Then if you use any external epg grabbers or anything like that they'll also be restored. Otherwise you can backup mp settings with the plugin...

I am sure that you will find that MP and Wintv7 will not run together. Try uninstalling the Wintv prog, just leave the drivers. There is a separate download for the IR on Hauppauge web site. The tv card will have to be configured as a hybrid card. Just a last thought, did the card find channels in wintv7 on its own. Just to be sure...

MP1 MP2 IP TV server (1 Viewer) DE
Do you have installed the MediaPortal TVServer? (there should also be a Desktop icon created for TV Server Configuration) PS: please notice that C:\ProgramData is a hidden folder so you have to enable "show hidden folders" in windows. If you don't have installed the TVServer you should run the installer again and choose that option.

Watch/Record Over the Air HDTV (Using Avermedia AverTVHD Duet Tuners) MP brings its own TV server which means that you install the server in one place with all tv cards in it and stream to all pcs in the house. Alternatively there is the ForTheRecord TV server which is similar with some features more or less. Watch Netflix Streaming...

This is possible with Default DirectSound as Audio Renderer too. It is just a Audio Codec setting -> Just tick passthrough for DTS/AC3 in the audio decoder settings. You are not alone with this problem. I think there are some threads about it here.

You could either use the Menu Editor to create Movie Categories inside the Moving Pictures plugin, or you could install the IMDb+ scraper and use the rename option so that movie series get grouped together.

Well the difference I notice between my Peak dual dvb-t and my Hauppauge T500, is the first one works perfectly after standby, the 2nd does not and needs a 25 second delay for it to be re-initialised correctly. Plus the Peak was less than half the price of the Hauppauge, paying more is not always better.
