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.

EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...

    MP1 MP2 Strange behaviour when editing the Wiki DE
    I made some updates to the Wiki page describing the <import> and <include> tags, including adding a couple of new xml examples. For the first example, I highlighted the example text and eventually found the location in the menus where I could select the CODE macro to have the example text formatted as a code example. So far, so good...

    MP1 MP2 Audio/Music output not stereo. 2.41, 2.5, 1.38.3 DE
    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
