Hi and welcome, You can define playlists for videos, music, etc. but not custom channels as you describe in the TV guide. The customisable TV guide shows only TV channels, regardless of type, i.e. cable, terrestrial, etc. Hope this helps, Nick Name.

Meanwhile my old XP SP2 machine gave up on me. The video card blew, and this rendered the machine unbootable. As I planned to replace it anyhow, the server now is a windows 7 64 bit machine. I don't have the problem any more. I disabled IP V6 immediately after install, even before installing MePo.

MP1 MP2 Boxsets DE
If you are using Moving pictures and they are all in one folder, you can make a category based on file path (path contains .. ) and you will be able to use the category 'as a boxset' so to speak. And yes, you still get all the film info and covers etc.. Hope that helps Sam Edit: Box sets are not supported yet.

That AND that WMC is recording repeats of season passes, even when told not to. I suspect its interpretation of "New" is new to it (Tapes each episode only once), rather than "First Run". The HP laptop has an IR sensor in front, runs quiet, and consumes less electricity than a PC or TiVo box....seems the ideal choice for a...

Hi and welcome rogerflu :) Yes, you can use TV Server to stream TV from 1 or more tuners to 1 or more PCs on your LAN. I say PCs because you can't stream to devices like XBOX or TVs. There are a couple of plugins that allow you to stream to smartphones though: iPiMP aMPdroid mm

MP1 MP2 Installation (1 Viewer) DE
@mm Pretty sure M$ bundled a tv component with WMP11 (used to be supplied in windows itself, they moved it), that was why it became compulsory for it to be installed, there was a discussion on internal forum a couple of years ago when WMP11 was released about this. Not sure if this still applies to Win7 + WMP12
