[Question] MPExtended WebMediaPortal and Chromecast (1 Viewer)

Here's where I've got to so far. I started with https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloVideo-chrome, stripped out the default video selection then added jQuery and wired up some AJAX calls.
Apologies for the appalling design and lack of error handling. I've only tested it with MP3s but it probably works with other types of content. I'll make it a bit more polished if I have any time next week - remove the hard coded MIME type, add some metadata to LoadRequest that kind of thing.
The client side will only work on Chrome with the Google Cast extension (I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit with Chrome v33). You can host the files on IIS, Apache or any else that can do proxy redirects (direct AJAX calls from Javascript running on your web browser to MPExtended would be a cross domain request which is disallowed for security reasons hence the convoluted setup).
Feedback and contribs very welcome. Enojy!

I tried some other approach.
"Plex Media Server" has the possibility to transcode everything.
Furthermore some user in their forum uploaded some simple "MediaPortal TV Server integration"

What - PMS+MP TVE integration?

When I tested MP 2.5 some months ago using TVE3.5, I found that "scan for channels" failed to find any channels when I selected a DVB-T2 tuner (a TBS 6284) :(, but succeeded when I used a DVB-T tuner (a Pinnacle 2000i) :). Obviously the Pinnacle found only those channels broadcast in DVB-T MUXes (in the UK we have both DVB-T MUXes and...

Hi @Greenhorn7, to help narrow this down a bit, I suspect that when the recordings menu entry is missing you are probably also missing menu entries for Videos, Movies, Series and Images too. Can you confirm? Does simply navigating to a different screen then back to home again cause the recordings menu item to show up?
Those menu...

Thank you for the info and especially for your time. I've ordered a HDHomerun Flex Duo 2. I'm using a mini PC for TV, it's too small to fit any card from TBS. Hopefully the HDHomerun will work, and last longer than the previous HDHomerun I had (HDHomerun Extend HDTC-2US) which was hot to the touch and died after a couple years.

Hello,
I would like to use a media server to display various learning categories. I prefer not to use software like Kodi, as it requires extensive metadata scraping that I don't need.
Is it possible to instantly access the video categories when landing on the page? I would like to display a single media page with the following...
