    You can't change the recording format, but you can convert the recorded file from DVR-MS to MPEG2 - just use the "compress" feature in MediaPortal (Just go to TV->Recordings->compress and select mpeg compression). "Compress" is a bit of a misnomer, since all it does in this case is remove the dvr-ms wrapper, leaving the mpeg2 file.

    Not exactly what I was hoping for.

    This looks like a manual step that has to be performed for every instance of when a recording is made. What I'd like to see in the future is MP dumping dvr-ms format or adding the mpg recording format along with the option to select various audio and video bit rates.

MP runs fine on the VM but I no longer have a tv tuner to test if passthrough is possible. I don't think it would work anyway.

    hm, weird. it can't access the file because its in use by another process... Wonder what that other one is. Can you try excluding the recording folder of all background processes?

    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
