[QUOTE="iancalderban, post: 342172, member: 85629"] I'm new to mediaportal (finally trying it as alternative to VMC). using vista ultimate 32bit completely clean install. mediaportal1.0RC4 with client/tv server one same box (brand new install, express "HD" option) In the Uk, using blackgold 3450 6-in-1 dvb-s, dvb-t card, have astra 28.2 and standard uk dvb-t feeds. two problems BBC-HD from dvb-s plays fine - now that I have installed cyberlink powerdvd, it uses that h.264 codec to watch tv. But it will not record - I get zero length files. this problem doesn't seem to be completely isolated to bbc-hd though, I think I may have seen it one someother bbc channels. I have changed the default recording directory if that makes any difference. Web-epg won't import. I have configured web-epg.conf, run webepg, I get a tvguide.xml file (which when I open it with notepad contains lots and lots of valid-looking program data). I enable xmltv plugin in tv-server, configured it to point to the correct directory (default is wrong on vista), ran a manual import. This reports "channels imported 105, programs imported 0, import status <blank>. I then end up with an epg in my MP tv-guide that contains nothing whatseover. any clues where to look for a newbie? thanks, Ian [/QUOTE]
