The auto compress function has a time associated with it 5 hour seems to be the default, what is this exactly??

Incidently anyone managed to get compression to xvid with elecard codec installed?

    The idea of the delay originated from recording main primetime viewing, and then compressing during the night whilst everyone asleep with computer downtime.

    Mainly use the compress just to go from dvrms to mpeg for running comskip on. never successfully got it to work with xvid, but someone might have. good one for tips & tricks if they have.

    Thanks for that, kinda figured it was something like that. Pity about the xvid, would really like to see that, 5 Gig for a two hour show is a bit much! and wmv seems to mess up the sound somehow. looks like I'll have to stick to manual compression for now.

    This is an English thread. the problem is not described clearly, but it’s the question is about auto login of an user in MP2 and not windows.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
