Message: <blockquote data-quote="cschneider" data-source="post: 365650" data-attributes="member: 87220">Rekenaar,Thank you for the reply. I've been looking at IRServer. I outlined some basics of what'd I write if I ever got around to and damned if he didn't hit all of my bullet points and more! I haven't run through more than a proof of concept with it but the whole design feels familiar so I think I'm safe to say "I get it" with regards to that segment.You mentioned the Schedules Direct EPG. I signed up with them when I was initially reviewing MP. For simplicity I swiped the relevant part of the link you posted....Best Way:-Stop the TvService/SetupTv-Unzip the SchedulesDirectPluginTVE3.dll file to the TvServer Plugins folder-Launch the SetupTv, Clear all your channels-Run the auto-tune on your cards in MP-Enable/Configure the Schedules Direct Plugin-Click OK, to Exit SetupTv-Allow 20-45 minutes for the first download/mapping-If external channels were automatically added, you may have to assign these to a card in the SetupTvSo if you would, I'd greatly appreciate your feedback on the following....1. The plugin is going to pull guide information down and create channels in TVServer which will then map to say "S-Video1" on analog capture card 1. Right so far?2. Unless I'm totally wrong above, the next step would be to deal with channel changing. You mention IRServer. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Are you saying to have a client pc forward IR commands to the server which then emits them to the stb? Wouldn't that essentially reduce TVServer to a simple stream and wreak havoc on its recording capabilities?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I guess I don't know enough about the guide in TVServer. When a client requests the guide it comes from TVServer? And on channel selection a message is sent to TVServer? And normally TV Server would then call the Card's Tuner? So if those assumptions are correct what happens in this case? Is there an API hook or out of proc call?</li> </ul>Thank you again, and I'm sorry if some of my questions are "easily answered" on a different thread. I've invested a lot in several different solutions and find myself worn thin <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> . Your help in this last decision making step for me would be substantial.</blockquote>
