Yes thanks that one is familiar to me as I've previously changed the button colours (y) I thought the "Yes" should be red as a warning as I mainly use this dialog when deleting recordings

Thanks guys for that info it is very helpful. I am certainly no expert but I feel somewhat confident in tinkering when needed which I have done in the past. I have successfully changed the colour of the "not watched" recordings in "mytvrecordedtv.xml". I have now found out that what I needed...

Ok I was asking if there was anywhere on the mediaportal website that had a more descriptive listing of the xml file names and what that particular file actually did. So to use my original query I asked "I want to change the colour scheme for the recorded tv list" and you replied edit...

Thanks much appreciated. Is there anywhere that has a list of xml files and their functions that could be referenced for any other times that I might want to do some changes?

I see there's a new version which I'll try but on my older version I want to change the colour scheme for the recorded tv list. Is it just a matter of editing an xml file and if so which one. Thanks

All sorted now with images attached as above. The problem attaching the images was the dugh brain user as well as the image size being too big

So after some more testing with the decoders they all seem to still stutter on startup intermittently and some have pixelation issues as well. Probably the most stable is the D3D11. In another thread I found that by pressing Shift + 1 you can bring up this display info. The first image with...

You may be correct about never solving it but hey where is the fun in just giving up :) I'm sure I can do what you are saying if the need arises (y) I also use a combination of Harmony One remote, FLIRC and Eventghost to do automated startup and other script based commands. I initiate from the...

I don't believe that this is correct after doing some research at least for my system. My Intel IGPU 730 only has two settings 30Hz and 60Hz for 4K resolution so even though I am on the PAL system I can't run it at the PAL frequency. My understanding is the adapter does a conversion on the...

No not yet but hopefully this week / next weekend I will get to it fingers crossed

Good to know as a shutdown and restart will probably fix the problem but I will persevere and check out some of the suggestions

Correct although I might as well be in the UK because of the rain I will look at the other stuff you have suggested regarding the refresh rate although it only happens after resume from sleep so not sure why it wouldn't be a problem all the time but stranger things (n) True but it will resume...

I have just updated my mobo and installed Win 10. I then imported all my old settings that were working ok on my old Win 7 system. Now nearly all the time after resuming from sleep the live tv picture is jerky like a 1/2 second stutter. Without restarting MP I tried playing one of the recorded...

Ok so final update. As in my original post the download of MS SQL Express 2005 fails which in the following posts questioned why it was even needed. And this appears to be a valid point as it appears as though MySQL 5.6 is the preferred option anyway so why try and download it? The other...

Just did an update of my system from Win 7 / MP 1.25 to Win 10 / MP 1.31 on a single seat system and came across a problem with the tv server startup being erratic. Approx 50% of the time on PC reboot from scratch the tv server process was showing "starting" but would never start and...
