I installed MediaPortal 2 but found that it had no TV tuner support.
I have had to install mediaPortal 1 instead.
Is there a solution to enable TV support in MediaPortal 2.

    Hello

    I installed MediaPortal 2 but found that it had no TV tuner support.
    I have had to install mediaPortal 1 instead.
    Is there a solution to enable TV support in MediaPortal 2.
    Yes, there are 2 options for TV support in MP2:
    http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/9_Reference/TV_support

    https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/mp2-plugins/slimtv-mpextended
    https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/slimtv-nativetv

    However, don't assume that going with MediaPortal 2 is the right thing to do.
    MediaPortal 2 is still "alpha" software... which means it is a work in progress.
    MediaPortal 2's TV support in particular is not as stable and polished as MediaPortal 1's.
    At the moment most people still use MediaPortal 1, especially if they want to use MediaPortal for TV.

    Regards,
    mm

    You can use MPextenden if you have already installed MP1 with TV Server, this option was intended for people who had a working MP1 version and wanted to try MP2. If you are starting "new" then the best option to get TV in MP2 is the first link NativeTV 3:

    hi MM...nice links, but no references on where to download the tve plugins from
    What about the big, fat "download" buttons on the right hand side of the pages in the last 2 links I posted? ;)

    yes that is indeed what I did in that ticket. It may already be working without updating those plugins because most of it was not relevant to the plugin itself (test, some leftover unused parts etc).

    Well, all that remains is to find someone who will add this render if it is a render.

    MP1 MP2 .mpd stream link DE
    I have a stream link for IPTV that is a .mpd. I can play the link in VLC and MPC-BE, but when I search for it in the TV servers it can not find it. The stream is HEVC with AAC audio. Does mediaportal not support .mpd streams?

    Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.
