It seems that if EPG is not present, the UI is ugly/destroyed and time-shifting doesn't work. what's the next step to get TV recording to work? Then I read all the documentation, and no mention of TV recording. Net Framework 4.5.1 full, the link provided is dead.īut anyway, it said that the latest installation was taking care of it automatically, great! The first steps of installation is about requirements, like installing. I start to read this, first thing you see under 'MediaPortal 2 - What's New' are Alpha 1, and Alpha 2, so it seems MediaPortal 2 is Alpha 2 after all. I should have click the help icon in the top right of the software, at least I would have the right documentation. I didn't notice this is a link to some kind of old version of the wiki. My first big mistake, I went to Google, and it gave me a link to what seems to be the official documentation: The UI didn't walk me through any installation steps, no wizard, it has lot of links on the root of the contents, the default screen, one is to the documentation but I didn't notice it. I found the software "MediaPortal 2 TV Configuration", that's must be a good first step! It doesn't show under MediaPortal, in the Windows menu but instead with "Team MediaPortal". I try to find the installed software and I don't see it, I'm double checking my alphabet ordering -) The installation put strange icon on my taskbar that seems useless, like one called "MediaPortal Tray Launcher", I don't know if this represent server, client, or whatever, and doesn't have much action on it, except Add/remove from autostart. I downloaded MediaPortal 2, and finished to install it. It has more checkmarks on MediaPortal 2 but maybe it's just a roadmap and it's actually not real. So, I started on January 2016 at the home page at: įirst thing noticed, it seems the latest release is on the 1.x version, so first assumption is that MediaPortal 2 is still an Alpha release.Īfter, reading a lot more, everywhere, and trying to discard old post, and other years old deprecated information, I came to the conclusion that MediaPortal 2 is actually the 'right' version to use, mainly due to this page: Which, is often my use case when watching news. But it seems that Plex doesn't play live TV recording or TV recording that are not yet fully recorded. Plex is everywhere, even on my cheap Vizio TV. Now, I'm kind of stuck to take a second look, I want to to access recorded TV from more than one TV, and all extender of WMC are dead, or it's noisy, and take too much energy like XBOX 360. I did take a look at Media Portal years ago and after looking at the steps to install, well.
I have been using Windows Media Center for ages.
