pgriffith 88 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Are there any plans for MBC to be able to play Live TV ?
snazy2000 344 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Mbc is a add-on for Windows media center which has live tv support. So what would be point? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 1

Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk The only point would be to give access to tuners/streams on another machine. I may get to this sometime but it is not a high priority right now. 1

jasonmcroy 316 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 What I would like have regarding this is a simple link on the EHS that takes me to the guide in WMC. It is set up in the Square theme, but that theme works too slowly for me. I don't think there is a need to get complicated within MBC if you are already in WMC anyway. I have it currently set up on my Harmony remote to hit the Guide button and it takes me to the WMC EPG screen. It would be easier to hit a link on my EHS though. Just my two cents... -Jason
Luke 42077 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Perhaps an easier way to get live tv to MBC is just to build a Channel for it. You won't get the integrated guide and recording management, but the basic ability to play content will be fine. 2

Just my two cents... -Jason That is actually pretty straight forward to do. I'll include it into my themes., but maybe Ebr can create an option in source similar to Favourites and movies by genre to allow user to turn on or off. If this is gonna happen then i'll wait for it. I wish i could build MBC, i always get errors or i could write it in.
pgriffith 88 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Hi all ... not fishing Yes my main Media Center has 6 tuners in it, but the other Media Centers around the place do not, and It would be REALLY nice to be able to have Live TV on those as well in MBC. Using the web interface isn't a real convenient option (does it even work with MCE remotes, never tried), regardless, leaving MC to a browser isn't a simple enough task for other users to mess around with. The channel idea sounds like a good start though. Cheers 1

Cheesegeezer 3104 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) I don't want to put it in the core because it will require about six more check boxes and we are already on option-overload. 6? Because you will include all the other available WMC shortcut options? Edited July 3, 2014 by Cheesegeezer
ebr 16169 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 6? Because you will include all the other available WMC shortcut options? Right - as soon as this goes in people will want access to all the other WMC entry points as well. Live TV, Guide, List, Music, Artists, etc. etc.

Live TV, Guide, List, Music, Artists, etc. etc.Is that because some people use WMC for their media still? I guess that seems strange to me because then why use Media Browser? I only use WMC for the Live TV and MBC because it is the best client that works on my computer so far. Even if you added to Chocolate theme and it was added to Xenon and Subdued I would be happy!
