Calling all MP New Zealanders (Both of you!!) (4 Viewers)

There is no need to uninstall the filters. You can set which filters MP will use in the MP Configuration / Codecs and Renderers settings. MP must have selected some default filters installed with Windows when you uninstalled LAV.

I've had the odd issue with LAV but not lip sync issues.

If you are using LAV Audio Decoder, make sure the 'Auto A/V Sync correction' box is ticked in LAV Audio Decoder settings (unless you are using MPAR, but that is not recommended for TV anyway, partly because it has A/V sync issues in that situation).

Okay, I reinstalled LAV filters (not from the MP extensions, but from nevcairiel) so that I could play my mp4s again. Went through the five minute guide to make sure all the right audio and video switches were on or off as recommended. So far so good. Thanks for your help.

so ever since I scanned to get bravo (I know the shame.. but the mrs wanted it), and then had to re-set up my EPG - it doesn't get the EPG for prime. .. well it does, but it's machine code.. can post a pic if desired. this is via dvb-t, and on mp1.50. I installed the latest EPG collector (4.3 plus fixpack 5) to see if that would help bu no dice... any clues?

Disable MP's DVB EPG grabber. Currently it isn't capable of handling the EPG compression scheme used by Freeview.
Use EPG Collector to grab the EPG. Import via TV Server's XMLTV Import plugin.

I thought I'd done that.. but will re-check thanks

it wan't directly enabled (that I could see) but it did have the CRC check enabled.. disabled that and it seems to have cleared it up.. thanks!

next problem(s).
I'm off work crook so I thought I'd go over my setup and compare it with the new tv I recently purchased.
the new TV gets more channels (and misses one) compared with mediaportal, on the same aerial (DVBT)

mediaportal gets Chinese TV (the TV does not)

TV gets:
Te Reo
Al Jazeera
HGTV
Bravo PLUS 1
Yes Shop
Shine TV
Firstlight
Hope Channel
Info-Rotorua

mediaportal does not... any clues on what I should do to address? I mean, I don't really care about most of them, but every so often Al Jazeera and HGTV might be of interest. and my other half could prolly use bavo plus1

 

[rlevis]

I don't think Info-Rotorua is available here but the other channels have been in my MediaPortal for a long time via DVB-T. Don't think I can help.

yep, I thought I had done, but this isn't the first time I'd thought I'd done something when I hadn't.. will look again.

well, I never realised there was an option to set a specific frequency... only ever used the standard option (selected Rotorua from the drop down).
it's found most now, except bravo plus 1.. will rescan on the weekend. thanks mm135200 - super helpful as always..
