I looked around and couldn't find anything on this. I was looking at MythTV also and even though it was open source you had to buy a subscription to download tv/program info. Is this the same way?

    oltranzista,

    MediaPortal is 100% free. No subscriptions or hidden fees.
    Give MP a try, it's a great program, and a great community supporting it.

    Hi, and welcome to the forums, oltranzista.

    I believe you oltranzista is talking about EPG subscriptions. For most people/countries there are free alternatives, but not sure about the US. I know that there has been some problems getting EPG for U.S. after a popular EPG service stopped (can't remember the name).

    Try searching or browsing the EPG part of the forum.

    Zap2it used to give free listings but stopped doing so last September because of abuse. Right now I'm using Schedules Direct for my listings, but it's not free. It only costs $20 a year, though. There's also a couple of other alternatives like CT TV Listings that does offer a limited free listings plan. Both of these have plugins for MediaPortal.

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?

    If you’re planning to submit a pull request, let’s go through the list of issues and their solutions. I or someone from the team will create a Jira ticket, and for each ticket, you’ll make the changes and submit a pull request. This will be transparent and straightforward.
