Out of curiosity, what has everyone's (non-dev) experience been with the new TV-engine build so far?

I know it's beta. I tried it out and I couldn't get it just right. No biggie. I really don't need the server/client aspect yet.

One of the biggest gripes is haveing to use XMLTV again. I might have stuck it out longer but I shudder at haveing to use that again.

    I failed to get it work at all, but its still in beta so im not complaining! I just had to switch back to serverless SVN because i need my HTPC in working order.

    As frodo has stated several times this is a beta, that said, don't expect stability from a beta. However, it is still interesting to see what results people are having with the current tv-server. Btw, take a look in mantis, frodo is doing some heavy bug-smashing. So if you have a bug, come forward with logs and all.

    Over and out.

    I put up a little HOW-TO to get the XMLTV working while we wait for the zap2it plug-in.. you can check it out HERE Also, I have finally gotten the tv server to where it's working quite well. At one point in time I have gotten everything to work.. just not all at the same time :) My guide coming in just fine now, I can stream to clients without any problems. The only problem I am having now... is my recorded shows are not going into recorded tv once they are done. This has worked before.. so I don't know why it's not working now.... but after that... it seems to be working great for me.

    brought it to work on a server/client machine but not on seperat PCs. It was my goal to watch TV on my Notebook, but I'll try it with every new SVN :).

    Btw. should the basic MP 0.2 or can it be 0.2.0.4 or 0.2.1?
    and a further question (maybe I should open an extra thread): How must I set up VLC to get the streams?

    From what I understand, it has to be 0.2.0.0, with the latest svn (subversion build) installed on top of it.

    Here's a link to the correct svn page (get the one with the most current date):
    http://svn.team-mediaportal.com/?M=...diaPortal_SVN-Snaps_based_on_V0.2.0.0_Release

    And here's a link to the latest tv engine build (most current date, again):
    http://tvengine3.team-mediaportal.com/
    It actually tells you on that page exactly what else you need for the tv server functionality (like mysql stuff).

    Thanks for making that, but I think I'll still wait for the zap2it plugin to get updated before I test out this tv server. I'm all for debugging and making MP better but at the same time I dont want to screw with my shows and epg! Hehehe

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
