    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.

    I am running a Xubuntu machine as a server with all my movies and series on it, I run a VirtualBox VM with Windows 10 installed on the virtual machine and MP1 client installed on that. 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.

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...
