    why not support chinese?:confused:

    It's not a case of MP picking which languages to support, it's a case of someone creating the files in that translation,

    So if you or anyone you know has the ability to do this, then Chinese can be included, but remember there are a considerable amount of updating done to MP\Plugins\Skins, that would need to be maintained and that is without the various dialects that may be wanted from different regions of China and its population.

    Easy job ha

    Good Luck

    I've just moved to China to study, maybe down the line I can help. The actual written language is split mainly into 2 scripts traditional and simplified. Simplified is used in mainland China, traditional is in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

    I am studying simplified.

    I am new to media portal. but it's a bit sad MP doesn't support Chinese. If there is no programming involved, I can probably help with the translation.

    I have tried to change the lauguge.xml and skin\fonts.xml to have gb2312 encoding but it still don't display chinese. And MP does not display file names in Chinese. I think there is something wrong in the core code of MP so it would not recgniz the 2 bytes unicode or something like that.

    Actually, 0.2.3.0 out of the box can't support Chinese because there is a limit to how many different characters the program can display. There is a great hack someone did that fixes this. Nightly builds should work, or you can get the patch from https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/unicode-chinese-korean-japanese-thai-hebrew-9061/index3.html#post224608

    Basically, if the character is out of range for the preloaded fonts, this code uses DirectX to render the text. Hot. Make sure you don't have your graphics card set for high performance Direct Draw or the text might be fuzzy. Set to high quality, it works great.

    This is for the tvserver, the iptv part. It used to only support m3u files containing all the channels, but now you can use a m3u8 too. Usually you get an m3u8 from your iptv provider, but there are also some that can be found on the internet

    The reason I was thinking I needed more RAM is that TV now seems to be HiDef and so the files have grown. I edit the files before storing them, to reduce some size. It is finding that slower, I think. Or it could just be because I'm expecting more? The Baseboard manufacturer says ASUSTech Computer Inc; Baseboard product P7P55D-E...

    I've no idea if this is possible or in the works but I am wondering if the IPTV part of TVServer could be upgraded to support M3U8, HTTPS, HLS or whatever is needed for newer IPTV connections?
