If you use "Manual Booking" (left side menu on the "Recording Schedule" panel), you can schedule a recording duration of up to 24 hours. However... That is using the "conventional" TV sources, i.e. a DVB-T tuner, a DVB-S tuner, or an analogue tuner. You stated in your other thread that you are...

I made some updates to the Wiki page describing the <import> and <include> tags, including adding a couple of new xml examples. For the first example, I highlighted the example text and eventually found the location in the menus where I could select the CODE macro to have the example text...

As Alexander Pope said: A little learning is a dangerous thing, and Dr Google explains this as: The quotation warns that superficial knowledge of a subject can make people arrogant or foolish, suggesting one should either learn deeply or not at all. "Superficial", and "arrogant or foolish"...

I don't understand the security implications of different setups, but maybe try the following: Define userids with logon passwords for each system (clients and server). Ensure that each client that is going to connect to the server has the same userid defined on the server, with the same...

The logs show the same file permissions error as before. There probably is an explanation for it, but I don't know what that explanation is. I am sorry, but I think that you will have to wait to see if someone who views this thread recognises the problem and posts the explanation of how to fix...

Entries in the logs indicate that the deletion failed because the file was being used by another process (but the logs do not identify which process). Some people use programs such as RoboCopy to copy files from the recording folder to a different folder (often on a NAS), or run programs to...

The logs show that there is a file permission error. As I understand it, files are written in the recordings folder by TV Server, which operates under its own security identity. When you try to delete a recording from the MP client, you are using the security identity of the logged-on userid...

This morning I booted a Windows 10 partition containing MP 2.5 dating from 2024. After scanning for channels on all of the tuners, I successfully grabbed the EPG from the broadcast data stream. This gives a complete EPG without having to use an internet EPG source. One point: if you are going...

I think that I have a version of MP2 in another partition on my "production" HTPC. I will look tomorrow to see if it still works, and if it can load the broadcast EPG. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

I commend your determination to get MP1 working, and I am sorry that you have had no success. Undoubtedly there is a solution to your problem, but it probably needs someone who is expert in all relevant areas to review your setup details and identify the problem. Regrettably that person is not...

I have just performed a true first-time install of the 64-bit MP 1.38.3 client on an empty 64-bit Windows 10 system. Here is the pre-install summary: The install of ".Net Framework 4" took a very long time to complete, so long in fact that I thought that the system was locked up. But the...

There are users who run MP1 on Windows 11, so Windows 11 per se shouldn't be a problem. Some users find that the 64-bit version of MP is faster than the 32-bit version. But I found that there was little to no difference between 32-bit and 64-bit (running on Windows 7). Functionally, there may...

Have you ever had this working properly, or is this the first time that you have installed MP1? (I think that you previously used MP2?) If MP1 was working previously, we need to identify what has changed on your system that causes MP1 to fail now. It could be something such as a Windows update...

Well, it was worth checking the authorisations, but your settings do look correct (although in wandering around various Windows panels I notice that the "Public" folder and its subfolders do seem to be special-cased by Windows, meaning that they may behave differently from ordinary folders)...

The logs show that you are encountering Windows error 0x80004005. Unfortunately, this is a general error code that simply means that the resource could not be accessed. I don't know the cause of your problem, but I think that you should check the authorisations for the folders that TV Server...
