Win Channels don't appear after restarting computer and starting XBMC
#1
So I've noticed a strange phenomenon. After restarting my computer and starting XBMC for the first time the channels from Mediaportal don't appear. The ones I get through IPTVsimple work fine but not the Mediaportal ones.

If I close the first instance of XBMC and start it again however they all appear no problem. The amount of time between Windows starting and having started that first instance seems to not matter.

This wouldn't be much of an issue if it weren't for the fact that I rely on the channel manager in XBMC to set logos and proper channel names, which all reset when the channels disappear and reappear.

I'm using 12.1 and Mediaportal 1.3.0.0 running on the same machine.

I would appreciate any advice anyone may have to fix the issue.

Without log files, I can't tell why your channel list is empty at startup. My guess is that the TVServer itself is not ready yet when XBMC connects to it.

Personally I'm not a big fan of the XBMC Channel Manager. It never worked for me.

With respect to the logo's, you could add them as .png files to the \Thumbs\TV\Logos folder of MediaPortal (typically: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\tv\logos).

The XBMC pvr addon will detect these logo's automatically if both the TVServer and the XBMC client are on the same machine.
