Yea I think this is a known issue in mantis:
0001440: Playing back h264 recording on RTSP client results in black screen. - MediaPortal Bugtracker

I have the problem that my client hasn't got the grunt to play h.264 so I've hacked TVServer to say "If client x requests a channel then don't use cardx or card y; leaving only the DVB-S card. One day I hope to get around to writing a patch to include a option in tvserver for "Profiles" so you can configure different profiles for different channels/clients etc.

So how hard is it to "hack" the tv server to set DVB-S as my client card? You haven't added this to your online setup guide hahahahaha

You'd need to make changes to code and re-compile. Quick and dirty patch, replace client1 and client2 with your client names:

Not sure when I can get around to writing a proper feature, and even then it has to be considered by the dev team which they probably won't want to do until after the release of version 1.0 since they are only doing bug fixes not new feature,

I haven't been getting any EPG info for Freeview Channels 6 & 7 for the last few days - anyone else got the same problem/a solution? (basic specs: 2 x DVB-S cards, 1xanalouge card - haven't had a problem with the daylight saving change over) Have tried rebooting and manually refreshing the EPG a couple of times but no joy..

Cheers

David

Bleazle - same here for those channels, wonder whats up?

 

[sylvester1]

No problems here with XMLTvNZ. All schedules coming through fine and no problem with daylight savings either

Hi all

Ive got a dead Skystar2 card which Im going to have to replace (other one is still fine). Note that the guy on TRademe doesnt seem to have been selling since May so wondering if anyone knows of an alternative supplier in NZ or an alternative card which will fit the bill.

@bleazle - same here for those channels, wonder whats up?

Judging by the lack of replies it looks like we're the only ones that have this problem!

I've tried deleting channels 6 & 7 then re-scanning/adding them (+restarting of course) a couple of times but it hasn't made any difference. I can't understand why all of the other channels have EPG data but not these two - even the Prime "workaround" is fine .....

 

[mcraenz]

Myabe be a stupit question but have you checked that channel is ticked in the EPG Grabber section?

thanks for the suggestion, but I've checked and they are selected. I'm stumped
