    Hi..

    Is it possible to stop the TV screen "dimming" when the recording notifier pops up on the screen?

    Also, any way to make the notifier smaller?

    Cheers!

    There is no customization for this, it would need a code change in the XML file.

    You will need to modify dialogTVNotifyYesNo.xml, the dimming is controlled by this control:

    Code:
    <control>
          <type>image</type>
          <id>0</id>
          <width>1280</width>
          <height>720</height>
          <texture>black.png</texture>
          <colordiffuse>90ffffff</colordiffuse>
        </control>

    You can delete that whole control from the xml to stop the dimming.

    To change the size is a bit more work, but you can play with the rest of the XML in that regard, it should be pretty self explanatory from the property names.

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?

    TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page. Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases. -- from...

    Sorry, it's my fault -- I did not notice that you are using MP2. :( MP1 has a separate configuration utility, similar to "TV Server Config". I have tried MP2 only a couple of times, and have never used it seriously. I don't know what MP2 supports with regard to adjusting audio delay, but I do know that all of the adjustments of...
