Which country are you in? and which SVB-S service are you trying to get. There are various ways to improve/speed things up. e.g. use XMLTV to get the EPG, or for Sky in the UK there is a radio channel that holds the whole EPG, so you use that and it populates quickly. Also - thanks for the informative and logical posts, nice...

Thank you so much for the quick reply. After thinking a little bit about it I have considered that the Colussus functionality probably is sufficient for me. I mostly watch TV in my livingroom anyway, and my main goal is to gather all my mediafiles into one box and front-end. And also, since I spent quiet a lot of money on the STB...

Ah I fixed it I had ticked in Music Database " Only update new / changed files after 2011-8-21. One quick question about aMPdroid for android. It doesnt let you play flac files direct from the phone, you must download them to the phone, why is there no streaming?

Hi Danniboy, You are correct, but this is because MP is very flexible with the options it offers. You are not on your own, I was a little confused when I first started using it a couple of years back. What may help is considering it as two parts, one part is the TV Server with the second part being MP itself. Once you have setup...

Has anyone tried building their own transmitter like this one LIRC - Enrique Vidal's improved transmitter circuit According to people that have built this, the only change necessary is that DTR is changed to TXD (pin 3) on the serial port. The circuit is powered by the serial port and I guess if you don't have an open serial port a...

I extracted the wmp11.exe, when I clicked it appeared to go through the installation routine.

Hello mm, unfortunately I can not distinguish the driver on the CD so I can not provide it. That is why I assume that it is part of the WinTV installation. You can easily obtain the installer from the Hauppauge support site. When I perform the driver only installation, the remote is not recognized as "eHome infrared receiver"...

MP1 MP2 TV option gone... DE
Hi Drukkie No I don't think you need to reinstall. Do you know if you installed the TV Server? If you didn't install that then you'd need to run the installer and install the TV Server, then if necessary enable the TV plugin in MediaPortal configuration. That shouldn't affect your existing installation. mm

Hi again Ozzie Cheers for the compliment. :) Getting straight to the point: I believe that the problem is in receiving the stream from the server.
