Update. For if anyone s.tumbles upon this older conversation. Meanwhile MP became very stable on W7. I've been running MP 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 on 2 W7 machines (one server, one client) with splendid results. Over the week-end I've moved to the newest release (just a week old) of MediaPortal : 1.2. Upgrading took under 30 minutes...

Yes, this is something that we need to improve. A good workaround is to set your preferred subtitle language to a language that is never available. That way subtitles can stay turned on, but they won't be shown unless you select a language that is actually available (and they get hidden again when you change channel).

Hi travis_san No, TsReader is a core component of MediaPortal. It is used for splitting all TS files which includes timeshifting and recording files. Does the splitter really make that much difference to the playback, and are we talking difference in picture quality, CPU usage, GPU usage or something else? My guess would be that it...

Hi Mark963 Please upgrade to MP 1.2.0 [final]. There were issues with QAM scanning in 1.2.0b that were later rectified - the symptoms of the 1.2.0b problems are exactly as you've described so I have no doubt that upgrading to 1.2.0 final would resolve the problem... mm

:sorry: Let's try again... Because WMP operates completely differently to MP. It chooses codecs (decoders) automatically based on something called "merit", which is like a priority rating for codecs. Sounds okay, but in practise it can be tricky to manage and quite complicated. With MP, *you* specify the codecs that you want to use...

Hey Thanks for the answers Yes I know that I can use for the record in MP, and that might be the solution I end up with, and use MP as front-end on the clients.

Hi again Stephen I concur with NickName. Such issues are almost always caused by driver or hardware problems. In this case it may be a conflict with your 1600. You can try switching slots, but if that doesn't work then you'll need to contact Hauppauge directly. mm

Hi and welcome taishanji :) The answer to your questions are "yes" and "yes". MediaPortal supports DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C, DVB-IP, analog TV and FM tuners of various kinds. You can have as many tuners as you can connect to your PC. Switching between channels on different tuners is seamless - it happens automatically...

h.264 1080i was what I would be worried about. As you say, 1080p, 720p and 576i should work fine with the right codec. With recorded TV maybe, but I don't think so with movies. Video, picture and music databases are not usually shared between the clients. If you install the PVR-500s in PC2 then the OTA tuners would need to go in...
