[QUOTE="groovybaby, post: 1283367, member: 162270"] OK Thanks [USER=141969]@CyberSimian[/USER] & [USER=128337]@joecrow[/USER] I've tried out some of your suggestions [B]Radio:[/B] It seems that all of my (4) MP2 skins will/should display & play radio programs, but they seem very unreliable & unpredictable. [B][I]I tried this skin: WMC[/I][/B] This displays the radio channels & programs, in the same screen as the TV channels, but you have to toggle between the TV & radio listings, by clicking on < or > near the [All Channels] / [Teresteral] barr. I checked the other skins and it seemed that they were the same, but all were very unreliable & unpredictable. [B][I]The skin my MP2 originally installed on was: Nereus[/I][/B] This seems to be the clearest/simplest skin to use, but I've only managed to get this to list the radio listings a couple of times... In this skin, I select the TV-icon: from the several vertical icons that are on the EXTREEM left of the main screen. Then to the right of those icons, are more vertical icons with different options, eg: [Recordings] [TV Listing] etc. To the right of those it displays a few boxes for each of the current programs, and on its far left, a list of the first 5 or 6 programs that you have set to record. [B][I]Below these, there some info in small print, says that you can select either a TV or Radio program. But it doesn't tell you how ! [/I][/B] So selecting [TV Listing] displays the TV channels & programs. So to switch to Radio Listing: Clicking on its < or > near the [All Channels] / [Teresteral] barr, doesn't work in this skin, like it did in the others. I did manage to get it to display the Radio-Listing once or twice, but I cant remember how, except I think I clicked on the remotes Info-key, which displayed a drop-down-popup that then allowed me to select [Radio Listings] But I cant remember what I had selected before that, that then enabled the drop-down-popup to appear. [B]When I select: Online Videos[/B] It currently displays various icons including: a: BBC iPlayer: Which I can access and play programs, Ive not tried to download any yet. b: Youtube: Which I can access and play videos. Although I don't see how anyone would have the patients to use it, as it seems to be just a jumble of titles that mean very little to me! c: Nasa: d: ITV iPlayer So the last 2: If I select a program to play, I get the error popup: Unable to play video, No URL I have looked around all of the obvious settings, but it's not clear where & how I can provide the URL for these sites? Any ideas NB: The BBC iPlayer seemed to setup automatically, as I haven't entered any path for that. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
