Whenever I record something, it ends in .ts format.

But I need mpeg format so my Ps3 can play the files.

How I do that please?

AW: How can I record to MPEG format?

Hi.
The .mpg Container isn't streamable during recording so if MP uses this it will not be possible to watch a video during recording. The .ts Container has mpeg2 (on SD TV) Video Streams in it, so it can be easily remuxed to .mpg. Sometimes it works if you simply rename the files to .mpg, but this is not guaranteed.
A program to do this de- (re) muxing (it takes not longer than to copy the file) is ProjectX. There you can create .m2p witch is compatible to .mpg so you can really rename it if PS3 doesn't recognise those .m2p. With ProjectX the stream will be corrected as DVB streams always have lots of errors in. And you can do cutting (remove ads) during remuxing so the filesize will decrease...

Ok thanks.

BTW, how can I MINIMIZE Mediaportal, so I can record a TV show and still work on my Deskstop?

It's not necessary to run MP Client during recording. Recording is done by TV Server with always run invisible in background. But if you want to have MP running, so you can minimize it like any other Windows program.

Thank you for pointing out that my analysis may be less than accurate. :eek: :p Although the change to TV channel 71 may not also have been applied to the independent radio channels (different MUXes), the logs that I prepared for one of the development team does show a difference between channel 704 ("BBC Radio 4") and channel 731...

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

This is for the tvserver, the iptv part. It used to only support m3u files containing all the channels, but now you can use a m3u8 too. Usually you get an m3u8 from your iptv provider, but there are also some that can be found on the internet
