[QUOTE="Al_Capone, post: 382061, member: 25154"] I've seen somebody get frustrated over media portal, and restart it, and even tried swearing at it.. because the error message is .. little intuitive at best. Error: -"no audio/video stream detected, unable to start graph" this was caused because this particular DVB-S channel did not broadcast at the time. - no wonder restarting did not help. proper error message would be; "no audio/video stream detected - <b>try to select another channel, this one is not transmitting</b>" (who needs the crazy "unable to start graph" anyway ? - most users won't know what it means.) Error2: "unable to start timeshifting" - yeah right, but WHY ? - is the channel busy ? - did TVserver fail ? - a little more *helpful* info would be great. - on a technical level of: what can my girl do to make it work ?. Error3: happens when user starts TV(tv attempts to tune channel2, but the TV server is busy recording channel3) another message is given, instead of: Tvtuner is busy tuning these channel(s) - and give user choice to select such channel, or exit. Thanks to all contributors/developers for MediaPortal [/QUOTE]
