That is not a problem tho, I can Change that back in MP...

Hi Everyone and Happy New Year, I am using an older version of Media Portal with MPC-HC as the external player.

Hi folks I thought that the disk type could be set/chosen but it appears this is not the case. After a quick read, I think that disk type depends on the driver that Windows uses for the HDD. If you could force Windows to use a different driver (ie. one for a removeable disk) then it would work... mm

Central Database - MediaPortal Wiki Welcome Dan. You can find the necessary info in this link. The need for central databases have long been identified.

Hi and welcome Craig The scheduling that you're refering to is not part of the tuner driver. It will be part of the proprietary Winfast software. At the lowest level the tuner can be controlled by any software like MediaPortal or WMC through BDA interfaces (build a graph, set up tuning spaces, build and apply tuning requests etc.)...

Hi CEHKIA That's a tricky problem as I'm not aware of too many DVB applications that support listing the PIDs for a live stream, especially an ATSC stream. You can try TransEdit from -->here<--. That should be able to list all the PIDs and analyse the PAT for you. To give you an example: see the attached screenshot. The circled...

Hi unst Sometimes (depending on the remote) it is necessary to enable the "general HID" input as well as the MCE one - some of the buttons (in fact often the play/pause key) require this. Alternatively you can customise the button mapping (click on the "mapping" button in the MCE remote configuration tab). mm

I remember that feature of VMC. I don't believe there is such a thing with MePo out of the box. But you can search and of course move about the EPG. I think it does. *.ts Install OnlineVideos plugin.

Thanks. I downloaded browsetheweb version 3.2. No error message! So far so good. I am now left with a few more messages. one that shows up in different situations is 'NO URL' If you need more detailed info I'd have to sit down and take my time do some more analysing, but maybe you can give me a hint beforehand.
