[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 698691, member: 82144"] Hi again ugg What XML files are you referring to? What did you switch off? Which option? Codecs are a big issue. I recommend the standard Microsoft ones if you're using Windows 7, or the Cyberlink ones for any other operating system. They both tend to just work. Logs would be helpful because I'm finding it tough to understand your description. Those options are advanced options. They don't generally have to be touched, but sometimes it is helpful for troubleshooting. They're not going to be removed just because they are complicated. For this and other options that you don't understand you should [B]look at the wiki first[/B]. In this case, look [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/15_Customization/001_TV-Server/Configuration/06_General"]here[/URL], about two thirds of the way down the page. If you feel it is necessary for the sake of BBC 3 then I think it is safe to reduce the PMT timeout to 3 seconds, however the consequence may be that other channels that *are* available sometimes fail to start because the PMT has taken longer than usual to arrive...
