Something doesn't seem right there because NTSC is usually 720x480 and 29.97 fps. The screenshot in the first post even looks like a 720x576 frame containing 720x480 video. Please try again:
  1. Open TV Server configuration.
  2. Go to the settings for the tuner.
  3. Set video standard to NTSC_M.
  4. Set frame rate to 29.97.
  5. Set frame size to "720x480 NTSC ITU-601 D1 (recommended)".
  6. Go to the "manual control" section.
  7. Click "stop service"... then "start service".
  8. Try to view the channel in MediaPortal again.
Steps 6 and 7 are really important.

If the above settings don't work then please post new log files from the TV server.



Hi, will try, just a clarification, my country is PAL B, I should set to PAL_B and 25fps right?

    Yep. :)
    If it is PAL B then I recommend to try PAL_B + 720x576 + 25 fps. However, it seems you were already using 720x576 and 25 fps, so that is why I suggested to try NTSC values. In any case, usually the settings should be for PAL or NTSC rather than a mixture like you seemed to have before. :)

    Just for everyone's info. Last night I had some problems after removing all channels and scanning using antenna instead. After that I kept having problems with audio/video not found in client. After restarting the server, no more flickering bottom. So I guess I should use antenna instead.

    I should point out that the developers have not formally left the project, and development has not formally stopped. The developers have instead simply "faded away", gradually spending less and less time on MP2 until the present, when they spend no time on MP2. But one or more of the developers might return next week! It is impossible...

    Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site. Thanks, N.

    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.
