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.

    @CyberSimian Sorry, I missed your last post. I ended up doing a clean install on the client and all is well now. It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...

    MP1 MP2 1.38 MP Stops Accepting User Input DE
    Interesting. :coffee: I always have DVB subtitles enabled in "MP Config", but I actually switch on subtitles only for those films that have deafening sound effects and music, combined with inaudible dialogue. I have never noticed the problem that you have described, but I also use the EVR renderer, and not the Madvr renderer. So...

    MP1 MP2 MP2 - V2.3 EPG has stopped DE
    The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release. It is sometimes possible to use MP clients from a release that is different to the MP server, but whether it works depends on the specific changes that were made between the two releases. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

    Actually I solved this myself. I did have the correct driver (it was the only one which would work). But on the drivers download page, there was an additional item called "TBS6281se V2 Change Mode Tool". There was zero documentation to accompany this. I downloaded it and ran it. It is a tool to detect the current run state of both...
