[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 940273, member: 64243"] If you have problems with TV Timeshift stops or Mediaportal crashes when your internet connection is dropped.. you NEED to read this!.. Ok something completely different.. I was allmost to the point to get rid of MediaPortal alltogether, because I was heavily frustrated the Mediaportal stopped timeshifting and stopped responding again and again, so I missed quite a few of the very few programs I like to watch.. First I thought the harddrive was full, causing the timeshiftfile could no longer be stored, but with 100GB free, that could not be the issue. But then I noticed that everytime it happened my WiFi connection was dropped as well.. So I started testing, and indeed, when the wifi USB adapter was removed.. TV would not even start, saying there was no Server connection (asking to put in the IP or server name).. when putting the wifi back in, Mediaportal could start again, and TV was working normally (untill wifi was lost again).. So I started searching for this kind of issues on the mediaportal forum, and then I found this post of Paranoid Delusion, which is THE solution! It is about the Microsoft Loopback adaptor, to fool the TV server, so the internet connection is bypassed and the TV server keeps working when the Wifi connection is dropped. Note: This ONLY works with SINGLE SEAT Mediaportal installations, so server and client are on the same PC and no network connections to other Mediaportal clients.. MSLoopback is still available for Win 8, but has a new name: "Microsoft KM-TEST-loopbackadapter" Please follow my instructions in the link below if you also have this problem of a loosing internet connection causing live TV stop working: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/msloopback-device-for-singleseat-users.51028/page-8#post-940259[/url] I hope this helps.
