[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 789480, member: 82144"] Hi again Ian After another look at the code and your latest logs, it looks to me like SD has created a whole lot of channels in TV Server that you may not necessarily have access to. Further, my current understanding is that once SD has created channels it won't attempt to map them to "real" channels that you scan in afterwards. To be extremely clear, the process is: 1. Scan in all your channels. 2. Rename them as necessary. 3. Import channels from SD. [B]If you import channels before you scan for them with your tuners then SD won't link them.[/B] Regarding the preview function in TV Server: this is a codec issue. Preview doesn't necessarily use the same codecs as MediaPortal. This is because MediaPortal may not be installed on the same PC as TV Server. Instead, TV Server uses the codecs with the highest "merit" in the system that claim to support the audio and video formats in the stream.
