    I have just been trying this on my MP 1.33 system. I presume that you are using the startup setting marked in red below:

    startup_settings_2.jpg

    With that setting enabled, I displayed the EPG and then pressed the EXIT button on my remote control to display the exit pop-up and then exit the client. On restarting the client, the EPG was displayed as the first panel. So that sequence of actions is supported and ought to work.

    Your screen shot shows a vestigial EPG. It looks as though all of the information that the MP client obtains from TV Server is missing, which suggests that TV Server is not running. Look at the services listed in Windows "Task Manager" to see if TV Server is present and shown as "Started".

    I would suggest that you deselect the Show last active module... setting and see what happens when you start the client. You may find that the MP "Home" panel displays normally, but with a pop-up after a few seconds saying that TV Server could not be contacted :(. Or it might all work correctly. :)

    Sorry for not getting back sooner C.S. ....and thanks for the input!
    Should've said that.....the screen I posted previously .....is the 1st screen I was getting....and selecting 'back' or 'homepage' then takes me to a usable screen. Nothing apearing to be wrong with TV server at that point.

    Should also add that...I'm controlling with a Mouse .... and not a remote!
    I've just given it another go (after using PureVisionHD) and its working at the moment :)

    I am running a Xubuntu machine as a server with all my movies and series on it, I run a VirtualBox VM with Windows 10 installed on the virtual machine and MP1 client installed on that. MP runs fine on the VM but I no longer have a tv tuner to test if passthrough is possible. I don't think it would work anyway.

    Actually I solved this myself. I did have the correct driver (it was the only one which would work). But on the drivers download page, there was an additional item called "TBS6281se V2 Change Mode Tool". There was zero documentation to accompany this. I downloaded it and ran it. It is a tool to detect the current run state of both...

    It is present, but not with that name. It is called Scheduler, viz: Interesting. I had never noticed that when the "command" is "ACTION", the "cmdproperty" is the actual window id, but it makes sense that it is. Try this for yourself. First backup your working profile for the remote, then in the "Mapping" panel make a change to...

    Interesting. :coffee: I always have DVB subtitles enabled in "MP Config", but I actually switch on subtitles only for those films that have deafening sound effects and music, combined with inaudible dialogue. I have never noticed the problem that you have described, but I also use the EVR renderer, and not the Madvr renderer. So...
