MediaPortal 2 up and running with basic features. Basically we designed MediaPortal 2 to be as user friendly and intuitive as possible. This includes using the most common default settings and the possibility to run and use Media Portal 2 without doing lots of configurations. But of course there are a few minor things to consider.If you do not wish or need to use a feature, you may skip that step or section.If you have not installed MediaPortal 2 yet, see Installing MediaPortal 2.After you have installed MediaPortal 2 successfully you need to configure a few things to get full benefit out of your new HTPC system. We recommend to start with the TV Setup, if you want to use the Live TV and Recording features of MediaPortal 2.The configuration of the TV section nearly is identical to MediaPortal 1. So if you like to follow any existing MediaPortal 1 setup guides or tutorials you normally can use them without changes for MediaPortal 2 too. There only is one notable difference. For MediaPortal 2 you don't have to install and configure a full blown SQL server (MySQL or SQLExpress) as you need it for MediaPortal 1. The database handling is done internally by the MediaPortal 2 Server. So you always can skip all database configuration parts of any MediaPortal 1 tutorials when using them for MediaPortal 2.

Navigate to the DVBLink webserver and go to the media section where you can view and stream your channels. Make sure that transcoding is disabled in options so it will give you a .m3u file. 2. Hover over the "Play" button within the DVBLink webserver and select the "Copy link to clipboard" option. You will see that next to "Client=" there is a long hashtag, copy this code and then do a "Find and Replace" within the DVBLink.Comhem created earlier. Replace all the "Client=AAAAAAAA" with the hastag found earlier, so it will be similar to: "Client=m5ghg15165883838asdas35456146as1d". 3. Scan channels and it should work now.

However, currently this has to be done manually after the installation process. Changing the Data Directories may make sense if e.g. your system drive is too small for the MediaPortal 2 Server's database or if you want to have your MediaPortal 2 Server's database file on a drive which is faster than your system drive, such as a SSD.Before you change the Data Directory of one of the applications, make sure you quit the respective application. I.e., if you want to change the Data Directory of your MediaPortal 2 Client, quit the MediaPortal 2 Client. If you want to change the Data Directory of your MediaPortal 2 ServiceMonitor, quit the MediaPortal 2 Service Monitor. If you want to change the Data Directory of your MediaPortal 2 Server, stop the MediaPortal 2 Server service.Then go to the Installation Directory of the respective application. You will find a subdirectory called "Defaults" containing a file called "Paths.xml". When you open e.g. the Paths.xml of your MediaPortal 2 Server it should look like this: When reading this, please note that represents the greater than character '>'.

2025-04-01Throughout my home. November 23, 2011 9 1 44 Home Country Netherlands #14 I've used this tutorial in combination with 2x HDHomerun HDHR3-EU (total 4 tuners) and DVBLink. So I created a m3u file for all 4 tuners. In this m3u files are all my tv channels (like I added 4 DVB-IP MediaPortal IPTV Sources with each a differtent m3u file. I mapped 1 "version" of each channel to a IPTV source and combined the channels on every card with each other. I can stream 1 channel. But when a record an other channel the stream in MediaPortal freezes. In Mediaportal TV Server I see that 2 IPTV sources are in use. But when I look in the hdhomerun Config GUI utility, I see that only one tuner is in use. the other 3 are not in use. What can I do? Edit : I just found it is a DVBLink problem. First I'll try to fix that. Probably that will fix the problem.

MediaPortal Tray Launcher (1 Viewer) Thread starter SolykZ Start date July 27, 2013 #1 Hello! A few weeks ago, I wrote a small utility to allow my remote to start MediaPortal with the big green button. The default utility was not able to do with my remote. My tool is on the plugins repository, and I'd ask you to test it. I'd like to know in which cases it operates, with which remote controls, etc.. Could you help me to improve it, please? Thank you! #2 Hi @SolykZ . somehow you'r post got stuck in moderation queue ... No idea why, but I've now released it. Sorry for any inconvenience Thread starter #3 Hi! No problem, maybe because it was my first post? I don't know. Thank you for having released it! hegu MP Donator Premium Supporter May 16, 2007 16 1 Home Country Sweden #4 I get "file not found" when I try to download.... #5 Maybe we can introduce these changes into the official MP Tray. There was also another unofficial MP Tray mod that added better multimonitor support/work arounds (I think it had a right click tray context menu). Thread starter #6 I get "file not found" when I try to download.... Sorry for the delay, that would be fixed now. Thanks for the report! Moderator #7 #8 If tray is modified it should also support restore MP from tray via remote. Thread starter #9 Hello there! I was aslept yesterday and I forgot to replace the links on the plugins directory too (new domain). That would be *really* fixed, now. Sorry for the inconvenience. Also, the source code is available on the plugin homepage. If tray is modified it should also support restore MP from tray via remote. I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean. #10 MP Config: [X] Minimize to tray on GUI ExitRun MP, Press Alt+F4 -> MP will minimize into the system trayPressing the MCE button on remote should restore MP from the tray.
