ok thanks, i shall have to be patient

My PC died yesterday and rebuilding thought i would start from scratch however the plugin keeps getting timeouts with access to the API? I get 503/522 errors on thetvdb.com api access constantly. It has being doing this for the last day and a half. It has 17,500 files to parse :( Should it...

I've been messing with home-assistant.io and it's emulated hue bridge along with some other home brew skills. It has harmony hub integration so you can already setup basic device commands but that would end up being pretty trying. 'Alexa turn on scroll down' and the list moves down one step...

Hi does anyone know if an Amazon Echo Skill exists to control mediaportal?

Hi, I traced this to the dr hdmi dongle I use to keep the pc happy with hdcp. It got knocked or changed settings after a powercut so it was no longer reporting that the tv was 1080p/24 capable when it is. Putting it back to the right setting and rebooting the pc so the graphics card could...

I have a peculiar issue with the wrong refresh rate being used by the graphics driver or mp and i'm not sure what the cause or solution is yet. I wondered if anyone else had seen this or could help. When starting a new show or film mp will start playing and the video is on occasion randomly...

Possibly EDID issues I had all sorts of trouble with my first hdmi amp and since then l've used a gefen dvi detective and now use a dr hdmi to ensure that the pc doesn't ever lose its connection through hdmi handshakes.

Yeah same here, sky1 went dark last week currently planning on grabbing from the hdmi output of the sky box through a hauppage colossus as I expect it soon may turn out to be the only option for hd channels. Although it is strange that tvserver can tune and open the stream but you get a black...

Hey folks. I've run in to an issue with paytv hd channels, where by some channels are now only accessible via the official sat receiver and no longer through my dvb-s2 card and alternative decryption techniques. Not sure if its an extra level of encryption or a move to a stream/codec that is...

Hi when scrolling up and down in Moving Pictures I don't see the letter overlay i.e. the alphabet to let you know how far up or down the list you are when scrolling at speed. It works fine in tv-series. Could anyone give me some pointers as to what might be missing causing this? Cheers...

This might work, but I've not had the same issue as you, I was just missing some parts of the skin settings menu: Before you apply the patch install titan extended. Make a backup of the program data skin folder. Apply the patch then restore your backup of the skin folder replacing all files.

Hi Gary, Many thanks, that xml brought in the more settings button & installing latest media handler plugin that was missing on this client sorted the show recent buttons. Tom

Hi, loving this theme but I have a peculiar issue in that the pulse8 'more settings' button option is missing from the gui settings screen along with the radio button options to enable 'recent moving pictures' and 'recent tv series' under the basichome heading I can only enable 'recent videos'...

I have the TV service set to restart in the event of a crash. Set it in services.msc to repeat this behaviour for infinity. Seems to do the trick.

Its working perfectly on 8.1 RTM for me with 1.5 only missing this outstanding plugin. Currently suffering with the less than ideal web EPG until djblu does his magic.
