[QUOTE="jeff777, post: 1244974, member: 162876"] Thank you for the feedback. It was a hands-on education getting everything setup via trial and error with Mediaportal 2, but it's all set. To obtain the program guide, I'm using Zap2XML. I created a batch file with one command to use Zap2XML to download the program data from tvguide.com (which then updates the XML file) and then one command to delete the downloaded cache files. This batch file runs daily in the Task Scheduler of my Windows installation. To provide remote live TV viewing and recorded TV viewing, I ended up using Emby Server in conjunction with Mediaportal 2. And on my Android phone, I'm using the Emby app. I did try using MPTvScheduler on my Android phone, and I did get it to work for watching live and recorded TV if I select an HTTP Live Streaming profile in the setup of the app. However, I noticed that if I go with this setup, the CPU usage to transcode video on my computer is very, very high (as high as 60-90% during transcoding of the video). In comparison, when I use Emby Server for remote live and recorded TV viewing, I noticed that the CPU usage maxed out much, much lower at around 15%, and video quality wasn't compromised. I also noticed that Emby used FFMPEG for transcoding. I did try using an HTTP Live Streaming profile in MPTvScheduler that includes FFMPEG, but then the stream wouldn't work. So I'm using Emby instead. Thanks again for the feedback. [/QUOTE]
