The wiki is right though - making cards with software encoders work can be tricky and frustrating.Regarding encoder compatibility: not all encoders are compatible with TV Server. Some encoders work with some tuners and not with others. The list of encoders in the general section of TV Server configuration only includes encoders that are *known* to work *sometimes*. It is not necessarily complete, and the listed encoders may not work with your tuner even if they are installed.Also, encoder detection is done by name. The encoder developers sometimes change the encoder filter names, and that prevents TV Server from detecting that the encoder is installed. As an example, look at the Mainconcept ones:- Mainconcept- Mainconcept (Demo)- Mainconcept (Hauppauge)- Mainconcept (HCW)It is possible that your Terratec encoder would work, however it might be called "Cyberlink (Terratec)" so TV Server doesn't detect it...Before MP 1.2.0, you didn't know which encoders were compatible, you didn't know which encoders were installed, and you couldn't choose or know which encoder was actually used. Now with MP 1.2.0 you know which encoders are compatible, you know which encoders TV Server has detected, you can choose which encoder TV Server will use... and you can also test whether an encoder that is not listed will work. Brief instructions are listed at the bottom of --><a href="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/06_General" target="_blank">this</a><-- wiki page. Basically you have to find the *exact* names of the encoders (using GraphStudio or similar) and then add them to the TV Server database.I hope that helps,mm<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />PS (about the encoders linked in the wiki): the links used to be completely broken. I fixed the two that could be fixed (it is not legal for us to link to pirated versions of WinDVR <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />), but I had no way to check if they actually worked... and the developers may have changed the names again. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
