[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 734573, member: 82144"] Hi everyone Like tourettes said, if you can't select the correct stream by specifying the preferred language or type (ie. the "prefer AC3" option) then it is not possible. The reason is that some TV/radio providers dynamically change the PIDs. In order to handle that behaviour TV Server looks up the PIDs in the PMT each time you attempt to tune a channel. We are also able to detect and handle PID changes while you are viewing channels.
