Hi Anu
Just tried tvportal on iPadOS 14.4. It mostly works fine except for occasional crashing. Are you still working on it? No recent updates, which is a pity as it’s a great app.

I stopped using media portal and didn’t have a local install to test with a couple of years ago but since the app was stable and functional I’ve left it alone. I could update it with the latest sdk and that would likely address some stability issues
That would be great. I will give it a good look to see if I can spot anything else. If you were up for enhancements, you might add casting. Lots of TVs have chrome cast, or can connect a dongle. That way you could use your iPad to act as a mediaportal client for a big TV in many situations, so you wouldn’t have to have a client PC for each TV.

I have your app installed on an iPad mini 5 running iPadOS14.4. It is connected to Mediaportal Server 1.27 on Windows 2012 R2 Server via IIS and Mpextended 0.7.
Live TV and recordings play, but:
Live TV and recordings play, but:
- you can't skip forward or back. The time line appears at the bottom, and the time changes when you tap on the line, and the snapshot shows a frame from (I presume) the right time, but if you touch anywhere, it either crashes or does nothing. In the latter case it eventually resumes from the original point.
- "Scheduled" displays the current scheduled recordings correctly, but pressing "Add" just displays a page with "Search" at the top but nothing else. I tried going to "Guide" and selected an item, but the only function available was "Watch" (which plays the current programme)
