Just a general question to everyone. What is the best codecs to select in MediaPortal after installing SAF 6.

The majority of my viewing is avi (Xvid), mkv, TV & Recorded TV.

Cheers,

Sam.

    If you have an nvidia graphics card, CoreAVC is a great h264 video decoder.. not free tho.
    Windows7 has a great mpeg2 video decoder(dvd, australian tv uses mpeg2 also) - comes with win7 and not before.

    The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release. It is sometimes possible to use MP clients from a release that is different to the MP server, but whether it works depends on the specific changes that were made between the two releases. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.

    I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...
