I guess you mean a set top box (STB). I use this myself - connected to a analog TV-card (s-video) - so you do need a TV-card (unless you eg. have a Dreambox).
My understanding is that you whant to import the EPG data from yout STB to MP. If that's the case, no you can't do it. What you can do is:
- Make MP tune the STB for you trough a blaster. Video would come trough a analog card. EPG data should come trough other methods (XMLTV, Zap2It, etc).
- If your Cable provider uses DVB, you might use a DVB card to dirrectly tune your TV without the STB. That way you would get the EPG right from the cable/sat, but you are not using the STB anymore. Keep in mind that using DVB with pay TV without proper support from the provider can be tricky.
Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...

Hello,
I would like to use a media server to display various learning categories. I prefer not to use software like Kodi, as it requires extensive metadata scraping that I don't need.
Is it possible to instantly access the video categories when landing on the page? I would like to display a single media page with the following...

Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal.
Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

My problem is that I would like to switch from Kodi to Mediaportal. In Kodi, putting an Extras folder in the same folder as the movie automatically manages all the extras on the Bluray, so my library is organized in this way. Moving everything would be a very long job (I have more than 2800 movies), plus I would lose the Extras...

Thank's,
I had already disabled the option in MP. Anyway, last night, after several tests, I suddenly hooked up the correct frequency. Honestly I've done dozens of tests and so I don't know what is the thing that unlocked the problem, but now it works.
