Hi

Would it be possible to add a option to record direct to mpg format. The frontend is excellent and keeps getting better, being able to record direct to mpg would make it perfect IMHO.

Cheers :lol:

i'm not sure if this is the right answer, but i think you're supposed to be able to provide your own compressors, such as mpeg, mpeg2, etc

    a lot has been said about this topic
    so please do a search next time
    anyway here's the answer
    MP uses the streambuffer engine for timeshifting & recording
    this engine records to the dvr-ms format which is a normal MPEG2 file
    with some an extended header
    There are programs which can convert an dvr-ms file to .mpg
    I think you can find those on xpmce.com
    and yes we hope to add transcoding in the future so you can
    convert your movie to mpg or xvid or.... after recording

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
