[QUOTE="pssturges, post: 94671, member: 27255"] Hi all, We have been using mce in our household for some time, and it has been serving its purpose well, particularly in recent months. The WAF is currently at an all time high...:) So now it's time to change things!:P The TV Server feature of media portal is something that I think will be extremely useful to my family, so I am currently testing MP to see how well it will work for us, with a view to going live shortly. To enable a smooth transition for the rest of the family, I need to make MP as MCE-like as possible. In my tinkering so far, I have found a few things that may hinder acceptance of the new setup. So, I would like to ask if any of the following can be overcome. 1) In MCE, when you press the Live TV button on the remote, it goes straight to full screen live TV, is there any way to configure this? I have not been able to find it so far... 2) We have a bank of MCE recorded tv (in dvr-ms format) sitting on a harddrive on our server. I have configured the MP TVServer to use the same recorded TV folder, but the MCE recorded programs are not showing up in MP under recorded TV. Is it possible to view these files in this way. I know I can configure MP so they can be viewed in my videos, it would just be nicer if they could be viewed through recorded TV. 3) TV that is currently being recorded does not seem to show up under recorded TV until the recording is complete. Should it? We currently often start watching a recorded program before it is finished recording. 4) I would like to configure the stop button on the remote to turn off live tv, but as yet have not been able to find a way to do so. 5) Lastly, I am using an xml file for my guide, and it has episode name data for many of the programs. Is MP capable of displaying this info in the guide? If so, is there a particular field name required? Any help on any or all of these points would be greatly appreciated. :thx: Phil [/QUOTE]
