Installed MP-2 today on windows 7 HTPC with a HD Homerun dual ATSC tuner. Noticed that one tuner is always in use (the green light is on) even when MP is shut down. Any one know why this is happening?

    Hello and welcome to MP2.:)

    Any one know why this is happening?
    Impossible to tell without logs.

    even when MP is shut down.
    Did you also terminate the MP2 Server Service? If yes, then the problem is not with MP2. Otherwise there is the TV plugin that has an in-built EPG feature, which may use the tuner (logs would tell ;)). In the US there is no DVB-EPG and you may want to use other sources for program information, e.g. the EPG-Buddy, which you can find in the forum.

    Hi,

    just an idea: Do you have a parallel MP1 with TV Server installation by chance? Then you have two MP TV Servers with the MP3.0 TV Engine running in parallel. That would explain one TV card being blocked by the 'other' MP installation. In that case you need to terminate the MP1 TV Server for MP1.

    Although they use the same MP3.0 TV Engine code base MP1 and MP2 both have both their own TV server which behaves a little bit differently.

    Cheers

    I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled.

    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...

    It didn't find my ceton eth6 tuners. MP1 uses them, windows 10 and 11 see them but TV Mosaic doesn't see anything and there doesn't appear to be a way to make it.

    Well, despite disabling ipv6, I can still see the error this morning. I guess the errors are random, no worries. I did a search for "genaservercontroller" and got 2 hits that reference Mediaportal 2 on Github. The linked items are from long ago, 12 years or so. Google-Results-Here

    If your tuners work with WMC, in most cases they should work with MP. However, tuners cannot simultaneously work with two different media center applications. So if WMC is accessing the tuners, MP won't be able to access them. To be sure that WMC is not interfering, you should use the Windows "Services" panel and disable all of the...
