I cannot understand why the timeshift buffer has minimum 6 files and maximum 20 files.
My TV card has 2 tuners so why not 2 files.
T?here must be a good reason for the extra files but i cannot see it.

    It's actually one *set* of files per tuner i.e. it's effectively a single file per tuner segmented into smaller pieces (for various reasons).

    Basically the larger the 'minimum' size you set, the longer the 'look back' time is, and it will not grow larger than this if you are just playing live TV without pausing it.

    The 'maximum' size sets the size it can grow to when you pause live TV.

    I have not seen that one but it is possible that after installing the 1.32 x86 version that I scanned and tested TV before installing the x64, but not sure it that would make any difference! I am currently testing an improved version but at this point it is still not clear how or when a fixed x64 version will be available.

    I'm not sure what the issue was, but I decided to try a different way of solving the problem. My server has a 2.5Gbps port and the 10Gbps card I added, so I've connected the HD Homerun directly to the 2.5G port, and its solved the problem, I can now copy large multiple files to the server and not suffer with picture issues. There is...

    I guess it's really a rare case, most users use remote controls, then keyboards and last mouse. I tired to design things mouse friendly as much as possible, because it was almost impossible when I joined the team. As former WMC user I quickly decided to create a WMC-like skin which comes as close as possible in terms of appearance and...

    Thanks. I found the settings on DVB EPG and on the WebEPG page I used GrabNow then Saved. It did take a long'ish time and all is OK. Thanks so much for reminding me where to find the sort function. I failed to notice the tabs at the top and as I said, I had tried to find the method in the wiki. Everything is back to normal, so...
