Mediaportal server windows XBMC PVR front end problem

@tytherman: works fine here using the tsreader version of the MediaPortal pvr addon but don't enable the fast channel switching option under the MediaPortal pvr addon settings.
If it does not work for you, could you enable xbmc debug logging and post a xbmc.log file on pastebin.com and a link here?

@skippy: You don't need to enable the MediaPortal addon if you are using ForTheRecord Argus. If you are using MediaPortal + ForTheRecord plugin, then I'm not sure whether this will work. It could work with the ForTheRecord addon but this combination is not really tested.

Magro, apologies but I am very new to mediaportal so to be honest don't know what the tsreader version is? Surely the channel switching is done by the server? I can't get that part working! Just when I think I have everything set up a new feature like pvr comes along and I spend days trying to do the simplest tasks! :-(

I have tried usbuirt, mce transceiver and hauppauge but cannot get any to change the channels.

tytherman,

tsreader version refers to one of the two version of the xbmc pvr mediaportal add-on, the other one being the ffmpeg version. You should find it in xbmc under system -> add-ons -> installed add-ons -> pvr clients.

Thanks for the help, after disabling the media portal pvr clients, I am able to watch tv. It is really awesome. Now, trying to figure out how to get the guide data imported properly in 4 the record.

Magro, I only have 4 options under pVR addons; Mediportal FFMPEG; Mythtv, Tvheadend, and VDR Vnsi.

I just installed a new version (previous one was taken from http://xbmc.opdenkamp.eu/) and I do now have the TSreader version. When I install it however I get an error - something to do with buffering file - FFMPEG works fine. The other pc is running the latest Openelec and this has 6 options but none are the TSreader, is it possible to download the addon seperately?

This isn't totally on topic, but I'm going crazy here. Where OH WHERE does one go about download the Media Portal TV Server? I feel like a complete idiot here, but I cannot for the life of me find it anyone on their website
