Lets not forget, everyones requirements and visions are different, so in that respect- knowledge is power. That way users can form their own decision on whether the user input needed is something they are comfortable with or whether they think there is an easier solution which will do what they want it to.

The fact is, even I as the xbmc flag waver would happily give MP a go for example and JRiver IF SOMEONE SPENT THE TIME LIKE I HAVE PROPERLY DETAILING, AND WALKING THROUGH how it works and how to set it up. There are many things that will scare people off even with xbmc on face value such as setting up an external player, and I spent time really understanding what it was asking and how to get it working, but now I do again I see how simple it is and luckily seem to have been able to articulate and show that to people (as xbmc wiki leaves much to be desired- one of the weaknesses of having changed so much from version 9 to dharma). In an ideal world what we would see is 4 stickys just like mine for the respected front ends, giving people an overview of what it can do and how to do it, but most importantly a visual guide to show how simple or complex it is to setup for an average users usage (so movies, music, tv, games, programs, etc). So one day I took the dive and I was SOOOOOO FRUSTRATED that the hours and hours I had spent tweeking things through 7MC and the MB/ MyMovies plugins to get special little icons, downloading this, changing that, playing with this, were wasted because it was done within seconds of XBMC. So i think I spent about a year trying 7MC, then MediaBrowser, then MyMovies, and none of them could do what I really wanted them to- yet I had the vision what I wanted was completely possible.

The reason I originally decided to create the thread was when I first got my pc I was frankly too afraid to give xbmc a go as I was plaiged with misinformation of how complicated it was to set up. The reason I started the XBMC setup and support thread and pirticularly the first post of detailing its capabilities, is because I GUENUINLY hoped this would inspire other users to do the same for their preffered front end- perticularly mediaportal.

So a table of cans and cants I dont think would work so well as it would just look a complete mess, would get out of date, and would just be wasted. If you want to use LAV filters and the rest of the stuff JRivers does, you can- hell if you want to use the JRivers player with XBMC (and id assume MP)- you can. What im trying to get at be it at a top level or really detailled level is if you want to do something with either of these solutions- you can. I too agree in principle robbos suggestion is a good one,īut tbh I dont think it can work as perticularly in the relms of xbm and media portal, its list of what it can do for example is potentially never ending- that is one of the many perks of it being open source. I had a stick for my Mac once, but it didn't play nice in my PC when I tried it (not a surprise really!) I have no experience of other cards for PC.

If you get lost with it then pip me in the jriver forum and I'll gladly help.Įdit: Sorry just saw your edit: card I use with no problem is Blackgold 3600 - Dual DVB-T2/DVB-S2 - I figured that *if* I ever wanted to record 4 channels at once that at least 2 would be available on terrestrial! Plus the fact that I only have 2 LNB feeds into the lounge! Not cheap, but looks well made. (Muchos gracias to the forum here for pointing me to this!) Various options for this - current favourite is EPG collector which gets the OTA data from the broadcast stream. You need something that produces an xmltv file. Only for terrestrial at the moment though - DVB-S would make me a happy bunny (especially if it allowed mdapifilter ).

Scan for channels in the TV menu and it found the channels automatically (incl.

I just put the card in my PC, downloaded the latest drivers from the card manufacturers website.
