I have also a router provided by my Internet Service Provider which connects to the TV tuner (for watching "normal" TV) and that`s connected also to...

That's correct. Exactly :) OK, but I am not sure what exactly you were referring to. IMHO there is no issue left with the current importer. If sorting issues persist then I would be very curious to see the examples. So if you referenced a thread I could take a look at my side if things still apply or were fixed (and when). No need...

Yes they can. I have MP and Kodi running on the same machine. MP I still use most, but my kids are swinging to Kodi, so I cater for both. Kodi and MP can run at the same time. Pressing the green button on the MCE style remote will always start MP or bring MP to the front.

Hi there Very likely that the new router caused the problem. The new router can assign a new address to the machine that TV Server is installed on. TV Server needs to be reconfigured to take the new address into account.

The system is a Asrock Core 100HT-BD, connected via HDMI to a Yamaha RX-V487...

MP1 MP2 Should I continue DE
Fooling around with DVBViewer Demo a little bit further, I saw that you can explicitly turn on and off Hardware PID filter support with it. And I see that it is vital for reception at least of some channels on 28.2 (e.g. all ITV HD channels). So I wait until TVE 3.5 and give MP another tries then.

Okay. From this information I gather you're using the title database view. Do those documentaries actually have a series name/title? The point of defining folders is simply to tell MediaPortal where your media is stored. If you store your media in one folder that's fine and you only need to define one folder. Otherwise you'd define...

MP1 MP2 TV Tuner on PC DE
Thanks for the update. I think that Channel mapping is the problem and I will investigate further how to create mappings without a tuner. As I said I am only interested in EPG data. Regarding the big changes I was aware of this and my testing to date has used overseas (to UK) selections. Many thanks again for you help. Have a good one.

MP1 MP2 Server or no server DE
Hello and welcome :) My opinion: it's definitely a good idea to have all your tuners in the server. As you've already identified, this is the best way to avoid double-recordings, re-recordings and having to move media around. Note that unlike WMC which requires one tuner per channel, MP is able to use one tuner to time-shift and/or...
