[QUOTE="swifty, post: 285828, member: 17751"] I would imagine (and I'm only specuating here..) that its because when using the TV Server, MediaPortal is just playing a stream so all the tuning etc is just done by an external process (the TV Service) hence MP doesn't really know if a tuning event has occurred until we ask it to show us the OSD with program info - then I'm guessing it queries the TV Service to see whats currently playing, and updates itself accordingly. Question is, can we get MP to either poll the server say 5 secs after a requested tuning event (so that it updates as to the currently playing show) or somehow get the heartbeat from the server to let the client know whats currently playing? As I said, that could be total boll()x.. thats just how i figure it works :P [/QUOTE]
