Argus has a rest API that allows XBMC to set & follow watched point markers. I don't think MP TV Server has that for XBMC (yet?). However, you can't look at XBMC as full featured for PVR use as it's limited to the features of the poorest TV server it supports (I think that's TV Headend - don't bother looking at that). I used to get...

Wow Dude. YEARS later and no-one thanked you. I do not know how you came upon this but it still works. I wanted a way to stop any audio currently playing on brave browser and launch a playlist. 1. Target Brave Window 2. Send your command with 851968 as the value key (APPCOMMAND_MEDIA_STOP 13 x 65536), and it works perfectly.

MP1 MP2 Considering MythTV DE
Hi Lloydsmart - so, almost a year on, what was your decision in the end? I am very happy with MP, but I am also wondering about the leap into Linux based computing, only because I want to experiment with a system with multiple clients on it, and I don't want the expense of lots of XP or W7 licenses. I am also looking for the least...

Thanks for the advice. I'm torn between AVI and H264 because, as you say, the former only uses 50% of my CPU so MP remains usable, whilst the latter uses as much of my CPU as it can, which makes MP rather unusable, but H264 does give noticeably better quality for the same file size. It would be nice if it were possible to specify...

Quality settings are under the delivery tab and the remote tab (content delivery). Servioo doesn't launch more than 1x ffmpeg process if I launch sequential files. It does keep the last process going (according to a search of the forums this is by design, not a 'bug'), I assume it's so that you can easily resume and might also help...
