[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1210770, member: 82144"] Great. :) Yeah, it's not one of those sections that can be ignored. In short, all it does is enable you to select the decoder (codec) for each video and audio type. The real complication is in knowing which codecs are good and which are not, and where relevant, knowing how to configure a codec appropriately. This guide may give you some hints: [URL="http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/guide-perfect-playback-display-calibration.119610/"]Guide: Perfect playback & Display calibration[/URL] There's no one-size-fits-all "best" option. It's about what works and what [I]you[/I] prefer. Some of the options won't work, so you can rule them out immediately. Within the set of working options, you can choose a preferred option based on [I]your[/I] assessment of the picture/audio quality, reliability with your streams/files etc. etc. etc. The advice I've given you (using LAV) is fine for a basic setup. If I were you I'd leave the settings alone now unless you run into further problems. The option you're probably thinking of is the "select channel by index" option in MediaPortal Configuration -> TV/Radio section -> TV sub-section. The wiki (manual) explains how it works nicely: [URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/TV+Configuration#TVConfiguration-Selectchannelbyindex(non-US)"]TV Configuration - MediaPortal 1 - MediaPortal Wiki[/URL] (You probably ought to untick it.) You're very welcome, and thank [I]you[/I] in advance for the donation. :) [/QUOTE]
