Hello MediaPortalans... When I first developed this I left the TV Buffer in tact, so people could go back in time to previous switched-from channels. However, I notice the merged version resets the buffer.. boohoo. Is it possible to effect a small change to trust the buffer and leave it...

Correction. Version is 11.2.2 was installed, but since upgraded to 11.3.2.

MariaDB 11.3 (x64) - confirmed working !!!! ;)

I am set to install MP latest. Will test MariaDB on newer build. Thank you all for your inputs ! Freakin Awesome Team !

Will do !!! Thanks for such a fast reply !

An Update. MariaDB above version 10 will fail to work with MediaPortal. This is due to: "Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types"

Hi, What do we do next ?

Hello, I haven;t forgotten about this thread. I think the next step is to look into the existing UI stuff and extend it to incorporate it. @Jasmeet_181 : thanks for sharing the detail !

Turns out filtering at 10000 ch number is not a good idea. Filtering Unknown is better.

Channels with 10000 are not tuneable here. They can effect MP if tuned here. 1. They can cause the video signal to fail forever till restarted. 2. They can freeze mp for a time between a few seconds and forever. They are generally bad here, but, I am very aware of your comments about...
