Hi

Been pulling my hair out for a few hours trying to find a plugin.

I found it last week, but now cant find it again!!

I want to start media portal in Live TV when ever it is re-started or resumed from sleep.

I am sure I had a plugin that started Media portal in what ever screen you wanted, but cant find it now!

Anyone point me in the right direction

thanks

Hi

Seems there are many versions of this plugin at the moment.

Is there a version that will allow Mediaportal to start in LIVE TV?

I recal using one recently, but can not find it.

These ones here will start in MY TV, or TV GUIDE, but not LIVE TV.

Thanks

peter

    Thanks for the information.

    I now think I must have been mistaken for auto start in Live TV.

    there is an option in Mediaportal cet up to re-start in last module, and this works, but not for Live TV.

    I noticed that it is imposible to navigate to Live Tv in any case, unless live TV is already running, as mediaportal has no channel information to tune to! It simply cant switch to Live YV without knowing what channel to watch!

    However more important I now realise that this is not desirable in my situation anyway.

    I have set up a task in task scheduler to re-boot my PC every few days in the middle of the night, as i like to re-initialise the services. When I ask mediaportal to do this during start up or waking, it makes the re-start far too slow.

    So if media portal re-booted into live TV, then it would not alow the PC to sleep, as it is configured to sleep only while on home screen. I use switching to home screen, and stopping all live TV as method of putting PC to sleep when powering off with the remote control. This way it seems more reliable for timed recordings, as I think using the case button to put PC to sleep is too quick for services to set themselfs for recordings.

    :D
