No TV in MediaPortal..... (1 Viewer)

[tonewheelkev]

Hi All
...am new to the whole 'satellite' thing, and have installed a TBS6922 card that is recognised in MediaPortal.

Know the card is working....can preview channels in 'TV server configuration.

MediaPortal, however, wont allow me to select 'TV'....and I'm totally lost....

Have spent virtually all of my day off trying to get this to work, and am now absolutely sick

Sick to death of Wiki pages, that just direct me to yet 'another' Wiki page that tells me absolutely nowt!!!!!!!

PLEASE, PLEASE is there a SIMPLE solution to this problem

Hi there,

We need logs/config to be able to help...

Is it a single seat setup? Is your client remote to the TV server?

Have you configured Mediaportal client to point to the TV Server? Firewall issues? Codec issues? Purely guessing without logs and config

Hi
it IS a single seat setup....watched an instructional (but out of date) video by an expert Dutchman on setup etc, just this morning.

PC has DVB-S2 card installed.....is my ONLY PC....so I assume that is where the client resides, and that I don't have a remote server

As for logs/configs....how do I get them>

PS.....installed SAF v6.0.6. .....as per (Double) Dutch instruction (hehehe!!)...so codecs should (might!?) be OK

Hi there,

Look here:

Log Files - MediaPortal Wiki

Yep, on a single seat the client resides on the same box. Have you been into the Mediaportal Config program and checked the TV settings (not the TVServer Config program).

If you capture your logs/config using the instructions from the link above, it will allow us to see whats happening/not happening.

Am trying that right now

 

[tonewheelkev]

Log attached.....I feel SOOOOO powerful!!!!

Clever you!

So can you explain exactly what is happening/not happening???

From the main menu, you chose TV, then what????

I can see the client is reporting 745 channels from the TVserver...

Running in 'Streamed MP' skin, as per the instructions of the Flying Dutchman
.....the only 2 options open to me are: 1)watch your series(empty at present) and 2)settings

....all other options are, in effect, 'greyed out'... not available.

And yes....do recall 745 channels picked up at the scan stage.

Kev

.....and channels are similarly not available in default skin....FWIW!!!

Many thanks for comments so far

....but still no further on with this one!

Hi there,

I'm not familiar with streamedMP, but you are saying you don't have a TV option? Is it under settings?

If you go into mediaportal config, look in plugins it should be there - is it enabled?

I would suggest a complete uninstall of everything, and then start again, but don't install any extra software until you know the base mepo software is working (ie no skins or extra plugins/extensions).
