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.

MP1 MP2 1.37 Seeking within a program after changing channels does not work while watching live TV DE

@CyberSimian Sorry, I missed your last post. I ended up doing a clean install on the client and all is well now. It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...

MP1 MP2 RTSP - test with VLC on same box, correct syntax? DE

I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

MP1 MP2 Someone is selling your software on eBay for $16 DE

It may seem strange, but the open-source license allows anyone to sell physical CDs or DVDs to customers, provided that, for example, the source code is made available upon request and additional value is provided, such as an installation manual. Both of these are mentioned in the product description, so it appears to be legitimate...
