nope, TS only. In the olden days, the olt TV recording engine used the same libraries as MCE so recordings were in DVR-MS, which is a pain as you had to mess about with them to get things to read them. Then when the TV engine was introduced, there was the option of .ts or .mpg. However, there were problems with the conversion...

Hi, In the Recordings section of TV Server it defaults to record to .ts files, can you change this to DVRMS? Dave

Hi, If I do a EPG grab during timeshifting/recording, I do not see any stuttering while watching TV. CPU goes to 100% load for a much longer time but without any noticeable side effects. I guess this would be a temp solution until I have upgraded my CPU. Grabbing EPG at idle does have my preferences because I like to...

MP1 MP2 Label recordings DE
When you go to Recorded TV menu, and you highlight a particular recording then it should give episode or program details that you want. These are shown at the bottom of the screen. e.g. you might have 5 seinfeld episodes of the same name in the same folder. You highlight the first one and it gives you some episode specific information.

Is there a way to label recordings so you can tell them apart? For instance "The Tonight Show" or "Braves vs Yankees" ?

I use MC2XML. The problem with WebEPG is that they rely on a screen scraping to generate the guide.
