Hi all, I have VERY strange issue. Trying to use streaming TV with 800 kbps feed. If I run it directly from the browser (Silverlight player), the bandwidth usage is about 850kbps which is completely normal considering the overhead. BUT when I run the same streaming channel through MediaPortal 1.0.2 the bandwidth usage jumps to...

MP1 MP2 TV Guide Format DE
You want TV Server Config -> TV Channels From there you can create channel groups and sort them as you wish. Then, from within MP you can choose which group to display. Not sure how Bleazle skin implements this but others usually have the channel group at the top of the TV Guide grid.

MP1 MP2 Metadata Correction DE
Hi there and welcome :) MP does not have inbuilt functionality to write back to your files. For movies, if you use the MovingPictures plugin, there is a script floating around that can read the MovingPictures database and store a nfo/txt file with meta data in the same directory as your movie. I can't think of anything else right now.
