[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1098359, member: 82144"] [USER=141969]@CyberSimian[/USER] Your summary is a very interesting read, thanks! :) A few responses... Yes, it is possible to use the WMC source with mc2xml (get it -->[URL='http://mc2xml.hosterbox.net/']here[/URL]<--) + the XMLTV plugin (comes with TV Server). It is true that TV Server still won't directly use the repeat flag, however you can use the mc2xml -a command line switch to add asterix (*) to the title for new programs. That gives you a way to differentiate between repeat and new programs. In other words, you can then schedule program "Click*" to get only the new episodes and avoid the repeats. Where were you looking at these files? In the videos section, or...? I note that the XML files are required to import your recordings into TV Server. Importing your recordings can help with the new/repeat recording situation too, because if the recording metadata and EPG data has episode numbers or titles then you can use the built in feature that enables skipping of recordings. See "check episode of already recorded...": [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/07_Recording#Scheduler[/url] How are you scrolling? I usually scroll by moving the "cursor" to the far right of the guide and then pressing "right" again, and in that case I'm 100% certain MP does not jump 3 hours. It just shows the next program. Do you know about this? [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/custom-data-grabber-including-sky-uk-channel-epg-grabber.96767/[/url] It is a customised version of MP + TV Server which supports series link for Sky UK.

Make sure you consider the consequences of switching before jumping in, namely: [LIST] [*]the person who releases the custom version is responsible for supporting it [*]compatibility with plugins and skins may be compromised [*]upgrades corresponding with MP official releases may be significantly delayed (if released at all) [/LIST] Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and experience. :) [/QUOTE]
