I am unaware of any such plug-in for Media Portal. You can make sure write caching is disabled and you "shouldn't" have any issues just pulling it out. I work in IT and use them all day everyday and have never had a problem doing that. Just make sure the light is not flashing and nothing is being written to the memory stick when...

Awesome, The autostart feature doesn't seem to work however I just set the idle start to 5 secs and thats good enough. I feel this may be counter productive since I am now looking at the display on the wall now instead of working to see what songs coming next lol Thanks a million. NetC

No, sorry, perhaps I don't have explained correctly. With WMP I have the same problem with brightness and contrast as in MP. I had already thought about rename files changing .avi extension by .mkv but if I have to do this everytime is crazy, do not you think? Anyway, I will test it. __________________________ Watch Furry Vengeance...

If your kids are good enough with computers that they know how to access a server using \\servername, then they will certainly know how to do a ctl-alt-del to start up task mgr and kill your bat.

You could just do a test and find out for yourself ..... from memory (I'm at work at the moment, not at home with my MediaPortal PC), when you stop Live TV it just keeps the last used timeshift file there, until you start Live TV again ..... although, I could be wrong - it may delete the files when you stop Live TV.

You can use FFDshow to decode TrueHD in software and pass it via analog connection to your AVR if you have 5.1 in, or if all you have is Digital Coax or SPDIF you can also downsample the TrueHD and convert to AC3 for your AVR.... So there are options, however that still does not work with DTSMA.

AW: Recorded Tv to Series If he uses TV Series plugin (which seems so), mossym's idea should work if he has good epg-data and does a proper recording naming (e.g. Name of Series - Episode Number). If the recording folder is set up in TV Series, it should all work as he wants.
