[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1011379, member: 82144"] I know the patch has only been out for 24 hours or so, but I have to say I'm itching for feedback. As this is the fruit of my labour for the last 6 months I'm really interested to know what people think. Anything from "it just works", through "there's this annoying little qwerk..." to "I totally hate it and it doesn't work"... Any comments positive, neutral or negative would be great. :) While I'm here... I took the time to rewrite the ATSC and clear QAM scanning while doing CableCARD because there are some long-standing issues that I know have bothered people. Here are some of the things I fixed: [LIST] [*]QAM scan not scanning the cable VCT PID [*]ATSC/QAM scan race condition that results in available names sometimes not being used ([URL='https://issues.team-mediaportal.com/browse/MP1-3393']link[/URL]) [*]ATSC/QAM tuners not able to receive all channels from a single mux/frequency/transmitter with a single tuner ([URL='https://issues.team-mediaportal.com/browse/MP1-3302']link[/URL]) [*]certain ATSC/QAM two part channel numbers not saved correctly ([URL='https://issues.team-mediaportal.com/browse/MP1-3495']link[/URL]) [*]when ATSC/QAM channel names are not available, the "Unknown" name is not useful ([URL='https://issues.team-mediaportal.com/browse/MP1-3075']link[/URL]) [*]ATSC channel details contains network ID, not valid/relevant for ATSC or QAM [/LIST] These are mostly not huge issues; just annoying little problems and bugs that have snuck in over time. For those of you that don't already know, we're in the process of rewriting large chunks of our TV engine. The idea is to clean up the mess that has accumulated over the years, add support for new features and hardware (like what I've done with CableCARD tuner support), and create interfaces that allow the TV engine to be more easily and naturally extended in future. This is one of the reasons I did the ATSC and QAM stuff mentioned above. While I'm here waiting for feedback, this seems like a good opportunity to ask a few questions in relation to TV Server's support for North and South American TV and radio... [LIST=1] [*]Are there any "big ticket" features that we are missing? [*]Are there any annoying bugs or usability issues that you'd like to see fixed? [*]What is the one thing that frustrates you the most about MP's TV Server? [*]Why do you use TV Server instead of one of the many alternatives? [*]What is/was the hardest thing for you to setup with MP's TV Server? [/LIST] The above questions are really just starters. I'm open to hearing any feedback (though I'd prefer it if you stuck to the general topic of TV and radio). Your feedback will be considered when it comes to planning what we do and how we do it going forward. :) [/QUOTE]
