    Hello KoktGrus,

    the TV-codec has nothing to do with your choice of using the Server or not. The codec just interpretes the picture which must be decoded, no matter what its source is. I am, however, decoding the picture from TVE3 with the ffdshow codec ;)

    edit..


    And it works witch all my other codecs, like pure video for an example, but i need ffdshow, because of the upscaling-feature...

    i've installed this version now... the picture gets just great, but when i try to change channel it hooks up... after one or two seconds i get the sound, after about 10 seconds i get the picture, that's speeding up to sync with the sound, then it works as it should...


    the channelchanging is as you can see not smooth =/


    do you have any else mpeg2-codecs installed? witch mpeg2-decoder have you set in ffdshow? libmpeg2 or the other one? witch other settings do you use? are you really sure that ffdshow is your preferred mpeg2-decoder? do you get the tray-icon when watching tv??

    FFdShow is the ONLY codec I have installed so I am 100% sure that this is the one I am decoding every format with ;). I don't see a tray icon because I am running MediaPortal in fullscreen mode only.

    If you have had any other codecs installed and even if you properly deinstalled them it is possible that there are fragments left which are causing problems. The only way to be sure is to do a clean install of windows and MediaPortal.

    Make sure that you select "Do not limit" during installation of ffdshow for video AND audio to ensure that the codec is used within MediaPortal. Also make sure to klick on "decode the following video formats with ffdshow" AND "decode the following audio formats with ffdshow". To answer your other question: "libmpeg2" is automatically chosen this way.

    Good luck, I am really not too sure how well CAM and MP work together with any tuner. Just a thought would it not be cheaper to just buy another C1+ card then there would be no need to prioritise the tuners? BTW the TBS Deutschland website specifically states that C1+ cards are not supported but I think that is a local issue with the...

    You need to check the wiki for TVMosaic, you have recordings as source available once TVM is installed. And of course images and music are part of the NET6 version as for NET4. If you have issues with it further infos would be good.

    The problem with MP 1.32 was that the TV Server component was still 32-bit, even when you installed the 64-bit version of the MP client. MP 1.33 will have 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both the MP client and TV Server. My understanding is that it will not be possible to perform an upgrade install from a 64-bit client + 32-bit TV...
