I left my MPC with MediaPortal not running (I guess TV service is running). Will scheduled recordings still be recorded? And resulting files converted using MCE buddy?

    If not using powerscheduler, they will definitely work, if using powerscheduler you may have to add, I think it used to be memcoder.exe to the pprocess exceptions tab, you can check that its memcoder by doing a manual conversion in MCEBuddy, and checking in taskmaster, unless they have switched to ffmpeg.exe, so check if either running, add the one you find.

    Thanks to all.

    I'm happy as long as the recording happens. As long as the file exists, I can convert later anyway.

    For some reason, LogMeIn stoppped accessing the PC today, so I can't work remotely. No idea why.

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph
