screwfaze 37 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hi guys, I have just started using this feature an have a couple of noob questions. I can't seem to set series recording for many shows just doesn't have the checkbox only worked for the Euro football. I also don't seem to have the epg displaying images for anything is this possible as would look much better. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 That means that media portal is not flagging program items as being part of a series. Do you have an HD honerun tuner? If so I would strongly suggest using the built in live TV services that don't require the media portal plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwfaze 37 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hi, Thanks I have an August tuner, guess it's not the end of the world. How about the images is that also only with hdhomerun? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 In this case yes because I don't think media portal sends back any images as part of the guide data. We do get some images from the internet, for example, we search for movie posters, but that also depends on media portal flagging programs as movies which it might not be doing (i really don't know to be honest).

screwfaze 37 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Are any of the other add-ons better than media portal for this just incase I should try them? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I know ServerWmc and NextPvr send back pretty good data. I'm sure the others do as well. Obviously they all have setup requirements with external software that you'll need to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
