    MediaPortal crash (and restart) on LiveTV after Windows Update (Sep 2020) driver update for Intel HD Graphics 4600

    Had same issue - it's driver based - reverted to old MP version [1.24 I knew worked], no joy. Revert to older driver, issue fixed. Testing - video content would play in MP no problem, issue was 100% in live TV, 1/5 seconds in and MePo would restart every time.:LOL: Cheers - J.

    Advice Required: Building a new Freeview PC-PVR

    Hi OS & version - assume W10 and recent, so you MAY have to install .Net 3.5 [even tough you will also have newer version] for MePo 1.25, not sure if it's a fixed requirement for 2.2.3. Platform - sounds more than capable BUT consider what else you have running on it at same time. Drives -...

    [solved] MediaPortal crashing on startup

    Could it be similar too broken-episode-thumbnail-crashes-mediaportal.136862/ as in rendering 'broken' [incorrect extension] graphic causes crash - the fonts issue may be seperate? Cheers - JCMP

    Force installation of TV-Server?

    Hi Not sure about forced install - BUT if you HAVE to go down the 'clean' install - see <[solved] - How to add TV setup to an already existing installation without breaking it?> - with reference mostly to saving data in Thumbs and DataBase to save you all the hassle of re-importing as well as...

    Home Automation: Anyone use home assistant / hass.io

    Hello all:-) Been playing in much the same sand pit as yourself of late [last 10 days in fact:-] - using Alexa rather than Google as gateway into controlling SONOFF devices (I'm going to flash them with ESPuna eWelink is just too slow, can take 40 seconds to cycle command and I prefer to keep...

    Splash screen option pack does not download.

    Hi Simply empty the cache [delete subdir in cache directory with the name of the skin your using - standard install - C:/Program Data/Team Mediaporta//Mediaportal/cache]/ On restart, MediaPortal will rebuild the cache - makes start up a little slower but not much. Also make sure the...

    Advice Required: Building a new Freeview PC-PVR

    Yep - range of versions but all do much same, link card to MB via ribbon cable, possibly with some passive components to address noise - remember your inserting additional electrical pickup into high speed digital bus, wiring should other signal sources close to cable unless it's shielded. Ref...

    Advice Required: Building a new Freeview PC-PVR

    And MP can record multiple programs on same tuner IF they are on same transponder [as this is specific to location AND exactly what you record you are best to only assume 1 per tuner however]. Same - for my main box, updates are OFF - the machine is used as MePo box only with no Internet route...

    TVServer (Win10) cannot write to NAS (QNAP T253A)

    SMB version support perhaps, SMB 1 being removed from Win10 post WannaCr? I have old NAS I kicked into life and had some problems until re-enabled SMB 1 in Win10 {as it's not exposed externally it's safe option}. Cheers - J.
