still the same bug MP always has, sometimes things will record, sometimes they won't. tonight I had one program set to record and an hour after it finishes two others start recording. I wanted to watch each of these two programs, one on the single seat style server and one on a laptop.
of corse that failed (when does anything even slightly out of the ordenery ever work with mediaportal?) the first program could be streamed to the laptop but appares that it is not being recorded and when I tried to watch the second program the client froze (this seems to be the default behaviour for anything other than watching 1 program imediatly after 1 reboot). restarting the clinet did not help, it just freezes again. trying from a third PC again does not help, it too freezes (as expected). trying to turn the working client onto the second chanel frezes it and it is then unable to tune to the first or second chanel.
It apares that neither of the two programs are actualy being recorded but the program scedualed to end by this stage an hour and a half ago is aparently still going.
to say I am sick of the unreliability of even the most basic aspects of mediaportal would be an understatment. Are there any plans to have turn mediaportal into a system that can practicaly watch tv and record tv.
