[QUOTE="Skywizard, post: 1140860, member: 153079"] Notwithstanding what you have said about using a USB stick for timeshifting, I bought a fast USB 3 stick and connected it to a USB 3 port. All seems to be working fine. Then again I have not tried timeshifting on a HDD or SSD..... I love the way it is so easy to specify where you want the timeshifting and other folders. I now have my MP up and working in a functional way and I just need to resist tweaking this and that. I have worked out the codecs and the Audio rendering. Blu-ray play (ripped ISOs). One annoy feature is the start menu for blu-ray - it starts with the directors commentary despite what menu choice I select - I have yet to figure that one out - I think it is something to do with the java menuing system used on the blu-ray. I am using HDMI from my PC to the 4 or so year old 32" Sony TV. From the TV I am using optical to my Sonos PlayBar. When playing 5.1 capable disks should I be getting that sent through the TV optical to the play bar - when I look at the LAV status it shows only stereo channels - as far as I am aware I have configured to use 5.1. Does/would the TV be limiting the audio to stereo through the HDMI and the optical out? On the whole I am very impressed with MP (working on win 10 pc) - well done. [/QUOTE]
