some of this is just stuff to try, mainly sanity check 1. can you boot the windows repair USB on a different windows computer? sanity check that the repair USB is clean/works. 2. on linux, does the "gparted" partition tool show any sign of the EMMC drive? maybe try "lsblk" or "lsblk -f" to see...

the AC-4 audio codecs are a open source software problem. the ATSC 3.0 section of the silicondust forums has lots of comments about audio problems. ATSC 3.0 Forum - Silicondust there are some attempts to add AC-4 support to the FFmpeg codecs. not sure how this fits into mediaportal: "AC-4...

note: this is MePo v1.25 left system running 1+ days without doing any EPG updates. Performance Monitor shows growing memory use with "virtual bytes" just under 2000 MB, "Working Set" 1600 MB. At 12:31pm local, recording ends and tvserver.exe got "out of memory" fatal crash. Was watching with...

Disabled 6pm EPG update and tvserver Virtual memory usage grew overnight to close to 2.0 GB and the working set grew to around 1.5 to 1.6 GB. There is about 0.2 GB drop in memory usage after 2:30 am and a big 1.3 GB drop at 3:30 am when the EPG update was done. The Virtual bytes dropped from...

Figured out how to setup windows "Performance Monitor" tool to monitor/track tvservice memory usage. Configured to take snapshot of memory usage info once/minute for 12 hours. The numbers on the vertical axis are scaled by a factor of 1 million, so 500 = 500MB etc. Did manual tvserver...

I also see unusually large tvservice.exe process sizes running MePo v1.25. Last night Task Manager showed it was about 1 GB, used tvsetup to stop/start tvservice and it started at about 35 MB, this morning over 370 MB. Overnight did 2 recordings and a tvguide.xml import, about 58 MB xml file...

the log files show problems trying to access the remote tvserver timeshift folder. For example in MediaPortal.log at 2018-07-21 18:40:47 you tried to watch BBC One and failed trying to access the folder. If you close the MediaPortal Client and use windows explorer file browser, open...

if you do enough googling you might find enough info about how to config mc2xml to work with titantv, or other hints about how to get "keys" "userids". I've never spent the time to really look. my guess is titantv, tvguide, zap2it, and other online web EPG sources really sell EPG service to...

not sure about your background or computer skills or how much work/learning you want to do. Since wintv8/Hauppauge can access titantv, I did google search for titan tv api and found the following TitanTV " TitanTV provides an API that allows users to retrieve information on TV programs and...

well, if you are willing to get your hands muddy messing around with WebEPG, the following forum message gives a pointer to MP WebEPG wiki pages. There is a learning curve on how this works, just matter of getting up to speed. The link also gives pointers to WebGrab++, a different grabber...

At 1 level I'm amazed the Nov-2012 imdb grabber worked for 5 years with no changes. The EPG-grid html did not change for 5 years. Not too surprised imdb stopped providing EPG listing info. I wonder how much traffic was from people looking at listing and how much was from robo-scrappers like...

I have not seen any hangs using the updated Core-CC filter. Run for 2 or 3 days MP1 v1.16 on 2 different systems. I was seeing hangs 2 or 3 times a day with the original Core-CC. If I find a reproducible "missing captions" video, I'll start a new thread for that problem

glad the fix was that easy. With my routers I use the router admin-web pages to reserve a fixed IP addresses for my MP tvservers. When I upgraded to new router I had to make sure I had the same reserved IP address setup on the new router.

the real expert on tv server problems is @mm1352000 who is in New Zealand, he should be around later in the day, I took a quick look at the logs see the following message Controller: local ip address:192.168.1.16 Controller: sorry, master/slave server setups are not supported. Since there is...

I'll give this a try on my US ATSC systems, I also see some problems with ATSC CC and time skipping. @Owlsroost On a different topic since core-cc source is available. On some USA NBC shows, most of the closed captions are displayed but many are missing. I'd guess its 70% work 30% missing. For...
