@koesterkm , although not using MP1 anymore I remember that the resolution of this problem for me consisted of either entering the computer name or the numeric IP address. Have you tried to enter your local IP (alternatively the loopback 127.0.0.1)?

MP1 MP2 Time&Time Format DE
Thanks for your replies! I already fearer that it is directly linked to the Win10 settings, and ignores the date/time display formats configured in the MP2 skins. My win10 is configured to show all button captions, menu names, settings and so on in English - so it's easier to follow hints from the internet when I've to fix/configure...

I am still here, thanks for the input, so I have now settled on mp1, I am not afraid of a lot of tweaking. Good news on tuners is I can run side by side with my WMC setup, as my tuners are using DVBlink to combine channels for WMC, so WMC is using 8 virtual tuners from DVBlink while MP is using the tuners directly. Of course they are...

Use mc2xml to get the data from SD. This will produce an XML file that the XMLTV plugin will recognise - once you have moved and renamed the mc2xml default xml file to the location/name that XMLTV expects. If you want access to the Series/Episode No. data then you will need to run a post-process on the mc2xml output before you pass...

Hello, I assume that you are referring to MediaPortal 2. Please note that MP 2 is an independent development Not to my knowledge. Open your TV setup, look for the Export tab, tick all options and then export everything. All your TV settings will be saved to the file export.xml. You can now uninstall your MP1 setup and install MP2...

Sorry for not responding in french, but you can try that in onlinevideos (if it's video, and not audio--only) There's no standard way to do this at the moment, but with a bit of tweaking, you probably can do this. That is, if Mediaportal does support the streams... Is that m3u publicly viewable? If so, I can test if it will work and...

Gentlemen, please. This discussion is of the same kind as many similar ones before and likely to confuse anybody who is not familiar with the development history. There will always be specifics on one product that are important to somebody and others that are not. There's no good nor bad and there's no "use this or the other version"...
