    just a shot in the dark here, but what are the chances next-pvr could be used for backend server to mediaportal ?

    Curious to know why you want that? I don't know anything about next-pvr but from the internet it seems to be a fairly limited TV app. What MP really needs is a modern comprehensive streaming server to reflect the way people are viewing content these days. Next-pvr might be better than MP's TV servers but I do not believe that is the way to go.

    Each to there opinions respectively. My thought is this it works and it's easy to setup next to no time at all your channels are mapped with proper epg and it streams all day long no glitches , it loads 5000+ plus channels fast and guide for it with in minute of starting kodi i am watching tv. i have tried tvmosaic ,with meidaportal and some others, yes it works but who wants to spend hours and hours setting up ? idk how well the tv card part works with it but that is not important to me or most these days are using the internet vrs satellite dish. I used to have genpix cards setup with media portal and have always like the look and feel vrs xbmc kodi. So I am wondering if the databases are similar and transport streams, and is it possible? Maybe a sql server to make the connection? Maybe navicat? thank you

    There seems to be an ongoing problem that some users have when trying to install MP 1.36. I regret that I do not know the cause of this problem, and so cannot suggest a solution. However, I can suggest a workaround that (hopefully) will work for you. The workaround is to: Completely uninstall MP, MySQL, and MariaDB. Perform a...

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
