[QUOTE="osksa, post: 1156390, member: 155144"] Ok I just tried to add the Microsoft mpeg2 encoder to MediaPortal TV server. I can unfortunately not get any picture with this encoder. I used instruction from [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/solution-for-all-most-software-encoder-based-tv-cards.90355/page-6#post-709230']this post[/URL] to add Microsoft encoder.
