    DirectTV SHEF IP Control Plugin for TVServer

    Thank you for your input...I was afraid that may be the case with the analog channel number. Well, it looks like back to the original plan with IRSS then as the HD Rugby channel (490-1) is a "must have". Interesting that someone from NZ replied while I'm watching Auckland vs. Northland from a...

    DirectTV SHEF IP Control Plugin for TVServer

    I do like this plugin as it is integrated with TVServer well. Is there any way to make this work with "minor" channels such as 490-1 (HD Rugby)? I have a command line executable that accomplishes this by parsing out the major and minor when a dash appears in the channel number before creating...

    DVB-S in North America FTA Channels

    Yes, I do. I'm usually jumping between MythTV and MediaPortal, but I have been in one way or another for a few years. I am using a motor, actually a Vbox which is driving the actuator on the 10 footer. If you have C band capabilities the world really opens up. There is quite a bit of good stuff...

    ts without sound - after renaming to avi runs fine

    Re: ts stutters - after renaming to avi runs fine I did not mean for it to sound like that was the only explanation. It may definitely be as you say. The first thing that popped into my mind was the TV settings because I have been experimenting a bit with those the past week. On another...

    ts without sound - after renaming to avi runs fine

    Re: ts stutters - after renaming to avi runs fine TS files are played back with the settings in the TV section of codecs in the configuration. Renaming the file to AVI would make it play with the settings in the Video section. I don't know how to fix your playback though, I'm working on...

    Dish will move to all positions except for one

    It started working properly for no reason, and now it has gone back to not working. I don't believe it to be a problem with MP though. Hard to figure out. :(

    About the X-Factor Skin (R479)

    It appears anything in the xfactor.xml which is using "fanart" for the image is not showing up. The items in xfactor.xml which are defining a specific file are showing up fine. I'm sure it is a problem on my end and not the skin itself. I have reinstalled the skin through mpe installer...

    Schedules Direct US/Canadian/Mexico EPG Plugin (Updated August 2010)

    I'm still getting xml errors in the tv.log. How did you guys get it to work??? Right now I'm using the mc2xml method. It doesn't bring in as much info as the schedules direct plugin though.

    Schedules Direct US/Canadian/Mexico EPG Plugin (Updated August 2010)

    Most people are saying the plugin has stopped working properly with the latest SVN's. Probably so, but I want to also offer this information: I installed 1.0.0.0 after it was released in December and have been using the SD plugin with it. I have NOT updated MP at all, no SVN, nothing. Now, the...

    MCE services came back

    Thanks for all the info. It helped me confirm I had done things the correct way. BTW: the file you are talking about is ehtray.exe. This runs at startup on MCEXP, but you can prevent it from doing this by running "msconfig" in the start-Run menu. Uncheck it on the startup tab. If this file...

    IRSS blasting works, except when inside MP

    Yes, I am on XP MCE2005. I tried what kokoman did, but it did nothing. If I remember correctly, his post said he was using Vista. I must have missed your posts in 33 & 35 when i did a search on that thread. Got that updated TV3Blaster plugin installed and now things are working as...

    IRSS blasting works, except when inside MP

    I've been searching for hours and found a few topics dealing with this, but even after trying their solutions such as this one, I'm not getting anywhere. Using the IRSS 1.0.4.1 with the MCE patch from post#12 in the 1.0.4.1 thread. Blasting works great in the TV3 plugin setup as well as in...

    Can somebody with HD HomeRun verify if RC4 works fine with it?

    Got the same thing here too. Even after getting the channels to scan in (removed other cards), live tv wants to work intermittently after a reboot. Keep getting a "No signal" error when selecting a channel from the guide, but once in a while it will actually play. Are you getting that too...

    22khz Tone switch with TVE3

    Dman, can individual users change the definitions of NA Custom 1 or 2? I'm trying to get 22KHz enabled with a 10750 LNB. I can use the "override default LNB settings" and that works, but it screws up my C band channels (I have a combined C band / Ku Band LNBF).
