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? Does the Ocelot accept these commands while running it's own program, or will this only work if...

Wow I just tried that SQL Analyzer program and I am still clueless! I tried 'executing' a change wherein I changed the filepath of a recorded tv program from a .mpg extension to a .avi extension and it didn't take (i.e. it didnt do it). SQL Analyzer is useful for looking at how things are arranged in the databases but that command...

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...

As a side note - APE files aren't entirely supported in MP yet, so when browsing My Music, the track time doesn't display correctly on each line (either says 0:00 or some other random time which will be the same for all tracks - mine says 3:42 a lot) - however it does display correctly when playing a track. Odd!

I'm having some issues in MP where the subtitles are forced, no matter what settings I choose in haali media splitter or directvobsub or MP. Also, dman_lfc told me today that when directvobsub is invoked, DXVA is disabled. This is detrimental to playback, especially of 720p and greater content. I was tooling around on the intarweb...

Before anyone tweaks, MCE apparently encrypts recordings that are made for pay channels such as HBO. These steps describe how to convert them to MPG using Graphedit. Note that this has to be done on the MCE machine the programs were recorded on and this is *not* a guide on how to get any pay channels for free with MCE or MP. I...

MP1 MP2 USA TV logos DE
Hey all, I spent the time to make a logo image for each channel on my cable service (out of Phoenix, Arizona). I started off using the swedish .psd file and decided to size the logos at 32x32 pixels. I found that if the images are bigger, they end up getting resized down on the tv and in the webinterface which I use frequently. So...
