"Some people have reported that you may need to set live_tv_retries=300 or even live_tv_retries=500 depending on the bitrate of the dvr-ms recording" Does this override the plugin settings and makes MediaPortal run Comskip instantly? Problem solved! :-) In the MediaPortal.xml file, "ComSkipLauncher" section, I manually...

MP1 MP2 SKY Through TV Card DE
Arbie I'm no expert in this area but if you're connecting through the RF leads, you will need to tune your TV card to receive the SKY signal, just as you would BBC 1. I think the channel used by your Sky box can be dispalyed on the the Pace setup screen. Regards Steve

What we really need is an additional entry always at the top of the list - 'Re-scan existing frequencies' So people could do an initial scan of all frequencies then after that just re-scan the ones where channels were already found which won't change, unless you move area. That would cover all options

I'm sure that you must have put something wrong inside the database, because if the Hauppauge IR blaster config utility can change the channels so should MP also. The field bExternal only tells MP to use the IR-blaster. So a 0 here means no use of blaster and 1 means use blaster. So the first thing to get working is the changing of...

This sounds tempting enough to give it a try. I've a had a ocelot running for years now and only recently started with MP. I guess I can do the same batch file approach with the file runner capability of the basic home automation plugin?

jcee, I do believe that the wake up alarm fucntion is embedded in the BIOS of all new computers. AFAIK, it works just like a hardware based RTC (albiet a little more complex :-) but the principle is the same). The bios stores a time/day/month stamp which it constantly compares to the clock (each time it ticks or whatever) and when the...
