Hi,

my kids like a particular channel and like it a bit too much. I'd like them to watch say an hour and then to have it blocked for the rest of the day.

Is there a plugin that can do this?

Nope, but its a good idea to implement a timelimits/curfew feature for MediaPortal.

As far as i remember there is a plug-in that could help. Search for My TV Niveau checker.

@CyberSimian Sorry, I missed your last post. I ended up doing a clean install on the client and all is well now.

Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site. Thanks, N. Again, if anyone knows how to do this, would be much...
