I'll keep playing with it, probably something on my end. At least it's working <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Seconding your thanks to Garry. BTW WileE, thanks for that Netflix plugin; I should be able to do some serious testing with it tonight.I feel your pain <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I nearly gave up at one point but decided to sit back and wait for a couple known issues in the SVN's to be resolved.Also, I don't understand what you mean about not wanting timeshifting. In MediaPortal, Timeshifting IS viewing live TV, I don't believe you can view a direct stream. Even if you are watching live and not pausing, etc you are still using the timeshifting buffer.It would be helpful if we had some more information to go on:1) What OS? XP or Vista/7? 64bit or x86? Nvidia, ATI, or Intel video?1) Are you doing this singleseat, with the client on the PC you are running TV Server on, or multiseat, with a client PC elsewhere on your network? If the latter, how is the client PC connected (wired, wireless, etc) to your TV Server PC?2) Did you install the Arcsoft TME software that came with the HD-PVR on your client/server? Can you see and hear video in the TME software itself? In the MediaPortal Television client settings do you have the Arcsoft audio and video codecs selected? Have you checked for updates to the software (there's an option in the start menu)?3) What audio are you using? 2-channel AAC via the analog ports on the HD-PVR, or 2/5.1 channel AC3 from the optical port? And whatever one you are using, have you tried using the other (set up in Arcsoft TME)?4) Can you manually kick off timeshifting/recording in the TV Server config? One thing I liked to do was start Arcsoft TME, view the live stream on the HD-PVR in it (if that doesn't work you have other problems), then open the TV Server config and manually start timeshifting on a different channel. That way, I could at least see if the server was really changing channels and the timeshift buffer was being written to. I'd also manually start and stop recording then check that file in Arcsoft TME/MPC-HT/etc to make sure I could see and hear the recording. That way, I at least knew that the TV Server itself was working and it was either a problem with the client or a problem between the client and the server.5) Finally, have you tried the 12-22-08 svn, TVServer and MP Client, via upgrading over a clean install of MP 1.0? Those versions always worked well for me. I understand if you don't want to use them regularly - I didn't - but it's a good baseline to start with since pretty much everyone here who's tried that build was able to get them to work.</blockquote>
