Hi I am trying to play a m3u file from my IPTV provider, but when I try to install the TV part of Media Portal v1.3.2 I get an error that the TV server? can't talk to the MySQL database that was installed by MP. I then find that when I try to restart my computer it just hangs for hours and so I...

Thank you very much indeed CyberSimian. I found out what the problem was. I had to set the "Deinterlacing Mode" to Disabled (Progressive.) Now the mkv files play perfectly. Strange how this was only a problem with my new Lenovo mini-PC and not my Intel NUC.

Hi I have the strangest problem. On two different downloaded video files, my MP crashes and restarts right after the programme intro finishes and the show starts. It seems there is a change in the video file that throws my MP for a loop. This has only started happening since I started using a...

Unticking this box also fixed my problem. I found that if I turned off my HTPC, when I turned it back on and wanted to resume the video from where I left off, it would start playing and then jump back to the guide. However now it had forgotten where I left off and I had to fast forward; sometime...

We watched and cleared a few shows between the penultimate and latest events. After this latest event I checked the hard disk space to see how much was left. Yes I would say this happens after watching several shows (not what I would classify as a few hour binge of back to back shows) that MP...

Hello there, Because the laptop is on a shelf of an entertainment unit I installed a third party app called "Mobile Buddy" to help me switch back to the desktop when MP stalls. However for this test I used the laptop keyboard keys as per your request I took some screen captures below, MP...

Howzit here's an update. Unfortunately disabling the Windows screensaver and just using the MP screen blanking didn't make any difference. Below is the only thing that I see on the screen. There are no dialogs as you can see. After I clicked the title shown below, I can hear the audio but the...

Good morning. This is a strange one that's for sure. Thanks for this information. I can assure you that we see no dialogs. After SYTYCD ends (it can be any show that we are watching) MP returns to the Programme sub list. I then switch to another sub list which lists the OTR programmes...

Hello there. Yes I understand. There is no dialog that appears over the MP screen.

Hi there was no dialogs that appeared over MP or after switching to the desktop

Hi there, I've deactivated the MP screensaver so that I can use the Windows screensaver. This clicks in after 1 minute. I guess I can try to deactivate the Windows SS and go back to the MP SS to see if this problem happens. Strange though that after a reboot, MP and the Windows SS get on well...

Hello again...hmm we didn't see any dialogs pop up. MP is on top of everything so not sure if there was anything popping up underneath. We finished SYTYCD which went back to the SYTYCD video sub directory. I then went to our OTR sub directory and clicked on the video at the top of the programme...

Hello again ok I gave this another try. When I rebooted and opened task manager there were two MP entries. One for MP and the other for the Watchdog. When I right clicked MP and chose to stop the task, I got a pop-up Window saying that MP wasn't responding and that Windows would try to search...

Hi there here's an update. After 3 days the problem occurred again. Unfortunately I couldn't close MP as normal, in order to generate the log file. When MP stops playing the audio, there is no close option as normal. The tool bar that normally drops down doesn't appear. I have to manually...

Cancel that I see that MP isn't closed when I press the "Proceed" button. When MP is closed first, the log capturing starts MP again so now it's capturing. Am now awaiting for the problem to happen again. My only concern is that when MP gets into this state, I can't close it so the logging...
