I thought this set of queries was finished but then decided the attached image might be of interest. One part of this client's system says it is attached to the server and another part says it isn't. This is on my desktop client. The client can do everything, including setting up new...

Hi, What you write is so correct about our use of computers but I hate to give up for something that might be the simplest of alterations. Thank you for recommending NextPVR. I looked at it but sadly it states "The windows client, nextpvr.exe, is included in the 'client' subdirectory of Program...

You had more success than I. For the record, I use an uninstaller to make sure the registry entries and stray folders and files are deleted. I went through the entire process you list on the single-seat server, the Win10 client and the Win11 client. This time, I did all three as x64. Like you...

You remember correctly or looked at some history :). It has never worked on the Win 11 laptop. It has worked at times on the Win 10 desktop but these occasions were random events some time ago. They appeared to be chance events and it was not possible to 'make the system work'. It could be...

I logged in as Admin and turned off the firewall settings for all three areas - domain, private and public on the server PC. I then logged in as Admin and did the same on the Win10 client. I ran MP as Admin and was really surprised to see the MediaPortal error when trying to load a live TV...

Thanks for this. I did this on the single-seat and both clients. I attach two images from the W11 single-seat desktop. It is interesting that the defaults pick up the existience of Recorded TV. Sadly, nothing has changed and the clients still fail. Written before I saw your later post about...

Great. I have jsut gone for the deault settings when installing so I have not set up any special folders for live and recorded TV. Thanks for this but it seems the Server PC access is already correct. I attach three screen shots. The TimeShiftBuffer is already as you describe. The Recorded TV...

Thank you for such a quick reply. I'm attaching the log files from the Win 11 desktop single seat, the Win 11 laptop Client and the Win10 desktop Client I hope you can find something to help.

Hi, yes I did and EPG works, so many, many thanks, however I need to make one more change to see if it actually makes a difference. Also, my clients would not work and I found by downgrading one version, all came good. Off sick at the moment so will advise my findings later.

In view of CyberSymian's comments I uninstalled 2.5 and installed the latest version of v1 - 1.38.3. Once I got used to the new GUI I found EPG not present. Again, I did a manual EPG update but it had no effect. Live TV works, programmes previously recorded on v2.5 work and I can manually...

Oh, thanks CyberSimian. I find that a surprise since a new release appeared on 7th March 2025, less than 6 months ago. I haven't found a forum entry to announce the demise of 2.5. Can you say where to find it please?

Before you create this bug report: Make sure that your system (Windows, codecs and drivers) is up to date, matching the Requirements and you've filled in your System Specs. Have a look at our MediaPortal Wiki! Maybe the solution is already there. Have a look at our Jira (Bug and Issue...

Thanks. I found the settings on DVB EPG and on the WebEPG page I used GrabNow then Saved. It did take a long'ish time and all is OK. Thanks so much for reminding me where to find the sort function. I failed to notice the tabs at the top and as I said, I had tried to find the method in the...

Thanks for this. I followed the wiki and used WebEPG. I have checked switched on the TV and find that after leaving it several hours, the EPG has now propagated through and seems full except all today up to midnight says No Programme Data. Because I saw this each time I tried to do EPG, it...
