Hi all,

baseline of the request is to enable other members of the family without Mediaportal to watch a tv report or film I recorded. Or if a friend asks for a copy of a recorded tv show ...

I just found out that it is very easy to convert Mediaportal TV recordings to another fileformat that can be easily played on e.g. a stand-alone dvd-player with USB port:

In VLC you only have to load the .ts file and save it in the format you need. The conversion works on the fly.

Now - wouldn't it be a good thing to have a Mediaportal Plug-in where you just select a recording and convert it?

From a quick look there is only one command line necessary to open VLC, convert a file and close it again.

For the time to time usage I can now do it by hand of course. But since it looks so easy it might be that a comfortable plug-in is done quite quick.

Thank you for your comments

    mpchc is a standalone player that can play .ts files without conversion. so that is also an option.[DOUBLEPOST=1375821169][/DOUBLEPOST]oh sorry i misread you are playing on an actual dvd player :) sorry.

    Hi there,

    is there a Titan plug-in for mcebuddy available for not having to close Mediaportal for the conversion?
