    Or, you could also try some of the dedicated TV programs like ChrisTV or WinTV. They include things like an EPG and let you record shows without a HTPC GUI to get in the way.

    My TV is a great plugin, but it's really designed to be component of a HTPC program.

    if you want your htpc to behave as a "normal" TV then use the "autostart" plugin. You start the PC and the first thing you see from MP is fullscreen TV.

    thanks+regards

    In your situation WinDVR is prbebly the best solution. Performance is optimal. Image quality is just as good or even better than in MP. I'm not sure if Purevideo is supported. If it is, the only thing you will mis is the EPG.

    WinDVR is a realy good piece of software.

    I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback. Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)

    TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page. Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases. -- from...

    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...

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...
