    EPG woes

    Thanks for your reply. I haven't forgotten about this. I have XMLTV mostly working, but MC2XML used to take care of two things that I have not yet accommodated. These are "New program indication" (for me, that was an asterisk "*" character in the program title) and "automatic time zone...

    EPG woes

    On the quick start page for xlmtv there is a --output parameter that is specified under the "Grabber Listings" heading which is described as necessary to specify a file name - otherwise, the output is written to STDOUT which typically means the display and would not be captured to a file if it...

    EPG woes

    I just discovered this last night. My last successful EPG grab was September 30, 2026 and my guide data has run out. It appears possible to use XMLTV directly with much of the same functionality as MC2XML. Please see this post. For more details. I've not worked it all out yet. I am hoping to do...

    MP2 - V2.3 EPG has stopped

    I am not an MP2 user, so this may not be the case for you, however, If you are using MC2XML to grab your EPG data, MC2XML stopped working after September 30, 2026. Therefore, the problem is with MC2XML, not MP2. The MC2XML project appears to be no longer supported by the original developer, and...

    SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex 4K and ATSC 3.0

    Anyone interested in making a public comment on DRM for ATSC 3.0 to the US FCC should read the attached PDF and submit a public comment to https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/standard referencing document 16-142. I am not entirely convinced that the current FCC will GAS if there are a majority of...

    HDR with 4K UHD blue-rays?

    I would have to know more details, and ultimately, I'll have to test it when I get my new display, but an AI answer I got (I don't trust AI and this may not be correct) was that HDR is encoded with the HEVC codec and I know MePo uses the HEVC codec to play 4K UHD Blue-ray discs. So, there is at...

    SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex 4K and ATSC 3.0

    Sorry to hear about Pablik. His contribution to the team will be hard to replace. I do know that he said he did the initial work of adding AC4 decoding to MePo, so for another developer to pick that up might not be that difficult if a release of ffmpeg that supports AC4 appears. For myself, I...

    HDR with 4K UHD blue-rays?

    Does MePo 1 pass the HDR metadata, Dolby Vision, HDR10, etc., along to the display when playing 4K UHD Blu-ray discs? If not, are there any known solutions that would pass along that metadata. I'm about to upgrade my display to a 4K display that supports HDR, Dolby Vision, HDR10, 10+, etc, and...

    SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex 4K and ATSC 3.0

    I know this is an old thread. However, I've still been looking at ATSC 3.0 tuners (since I'm about to upgrade my display to a TV that does not have an ATSC 3.0 tuner is it), and more and more are advertising encrypted channel support. Some, not all, have been tested by users and they find that...

    Alternatives to AnyDVD HD?

    Copy the dll to the "Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal" for me, that is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal" That is all you need to do. You may also be interested to know that MePo works for UHD-BR discs (as long as you have a compatible BR drive that is updated to a MakeMKV Libre...

    Alternatives to AnyDVD HD?

    Thanks for the replies. I'm glad MePo is "code ready" for an alternative like this. If I copy the dll to the MePo directory as you indicated, will MePo be able to read any files I've ripped to disk? I realize that decoding BR disks on the fly eliminates the need to do this, however, sometimes...

    Alternatives to AnyDVD HD?

    I don't know how many of you are aware of this, however, it may be that AnyDVD HD has finally come to an end. Their web site can no longer be found, and any attempt to decode Blu-rays or UHD Blu-rays fails due to the fact that AnyDVD HD cannot connect to their server. My question is that will...

    SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex 4K and ATSC 3.0

    Yes, you are correct in that ATSC 3.0 is still evolving in the US. However, I tend to not give too much credit to predictions that of the sort that say all ATSC 3.0 stations will eventually be encrypted. There are many broadcasters out there that I doubt will ever adopt encryption for their...
