Bob, that's a great start. There's no EPG or now/next (yet). All you can do with this is choose a channel and watch what's on. Changing channels is not that flash - you have to exit the player and choose another channel, taking about 10 seconds if you're well-practised. And when you've finished you have to "Stop Timeshifting" to free up the tuner. You can save a channel group, or even a channel, as a video source, so you can go directly to a channel, which helps.

I get what you've got on the first screen - a list of channel groups. When I select a channel group, I get a list of channels in that group. I suspect one day we'll have an option so if there's only one channel group, it will automatically descend.

There are a few places you can look for hints:

1) There's a stand-alone version of the plug-in. Under bin\release or bin\debug you might see the file TVServerXBMC.exe. If not, change the application output type (Project->TVServerXBMC Properties->Application) from "Class Library" to "Console Application" and rebuild. You need to disable the plug-in from within the TV-Server Configuration and restart the service. Then run the exe and try again. You should see what's going on. You can also talk to the stand-alone exe by doing "telnet localhost 9596" and then type "telnet". A list of commands is available if you type "help".

2) Have a look at the TVServer logs in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\log\

3) Have a look at the XBMC log C:\Program Files\XBMC\xbmc.log.

Let me stress that this plug-in is in its early days. It plays live TV, and that's about all. If you're expecting more, you'll be disappointed.
