Before getting started with this guide it is important to note the new version of XBMC, Eden v11.0 will include PVR support, but as of now, all of the current downloadable versions of the Eden version of XBMC are experimental, nightly builds. It is also important to note XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2 is experimental and is not an official release from Team XBMC.   In that XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2 does use Dharma the stable XBMC release, and can be considered the most stablest from the available choices, this guide will use XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2.

If a user wants to watch TV on a PC, at least one supported tuner card, or a provider that provides IPTV access is required.  The tuner hardware doesn't have to be installed on the same computer on which the user wants to watch TV.  The computer with the tuner hardware is called the back-end. The computer used to view TV is called the front-end.  The back-end and front-end can be on one computer.  XBMC will run on the front-end.

XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2 does not have the capabilities to support a tuner card, or a provider that provides IPTV access, on it's own.  It requires support from another program to control a tuner card.<sup>(1)</sup>  This guide will use MediaPortal 1.1.3.  MediaPortal is a two (2) part, dual purpose, self supported, program.  It works as both; a front-end for viewing TV or IPTV (also known as a TV Client), and a back-end for controlling the tuner card (also known as a TV Server).  When the complete program, TV Client (front-end) and TV Server (back-end), is installed on one computer the configuration is called a single seat set-up.  MediaPortal's TV Server can also be installed on a single computer, without the TV Client, and configured to support multiple tv cards as a back-end, server.  This leaves MediaPortal's TV Client, and it can be installed on other computers, without the TV Server, and configured to support viewing TV or IPTV as front-ends, clients, and use the tuner cards installed on the back-end, TV Server computer.  TV Clients can use any tuner card in the TV server that is not in use by another TV Client.
  
−
==Support information==
+
In this guide XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2 will be used as the front-end, TV Client, and MediaPortal is installed for the use of it's TV Server, the back-end.  The problem here is both programs are not written using the same computer code, machine language.  The two (2) programs can not communicate with each other.  The solution is a plugin written for MediaPortal, MediaPortal 1.1.x - TVServerXBMC plugin v1.1.3.107.  After installing MediaPortal the plugin will need to be manually installed into MediaPortal's file/folder structure before the MediaPortal TV Server can be configured for use with XBMC.  XBMC can then be configured to use the plugin to communicate with and control the TV Server.

[[File:80.mcm.help.menu.png|350px]]

This guide will assume the user is familiar with XBMC Dharma v10.1.  The guide will focus on a single seat (Windows) installation where both the TVServer and XBMC are running on the same machine.  It will provide: links for preparing for an installation of a single seat set-up of MediaPortal 1.1.3, how to set-up and configure MediaPortal for scanning channels with a tuner card to view live tv through MediaPortal's TV Client, how to install the MediaPortal 1.1.x - TVServerXBMC plugin v1.1.3.107, how to configure MediaPortal 1.1.3 for using the plugin, and configure the MediaPortal PVR client add-on to, finally, view live tv in XBMC.

<!--Delete all of this and Start Text on this line.

The guide will then continue by providing information for configuring MediaPortal to utilize Windows Media Center, TitanTV, or Schedules Direct, Electronic Program Guide (EPG) information for the users local area, acquired with additional software (mc2xml), and how to keep it up to date with a user defined scheduled task event in Windows.  The EPG will be used in XBMC as a when and what to watch guide, with click-able watch now, or record, features.  Additional information will also be provided for obtaining channel, station identification, icons, where to install them, and configure MediaPortal and XBMC to use the icons in XBMC's Live TV Guide.

==subtitles==
+
−
http://www.mediacentermaster.com/old_wiki/HowTo/DownloadSubtitles
+
−
 
+
−
If you need subtitles for your media, it couldn't be easier to do so. There are several ways to do this, however before you get started, be sure that you have a program and/or the necessary codecs installed. Subtitles get downloaded as a separate file usually with the extention ".srt".
+
−
 
+
−
Manual Download Method 1
+
−
 
+
−
    If you don't want subtitles for all of your media, you may simply right click on the name of the title, and select "Download Subtitles".
+
−
 
+
−
Manual Download Method 2
+
−
 
+
−
    Click on Tools, then Download Subtitles for all movies.
+
−
 
+
−
Automatic Method
+
−
 
+
−
    If you want all of your titles to have subtitles go to the Application menu, Settings and Preferences, Movies tab, and check the box that says "Download subtitles from Subscene.com". Select the language you would like. Please note that Subscene.com may or may not have the subtitle in the language you are looking for. You may also check the box for Using OpenSubtitles.org as a backup if you wish, although it is a little slow. If necessary you may also go directly to opensubtitles.org or similar websites to download what you are looking for manually. Be sure to rename the .srt file exactly the same as your media minus the extention. Example: Movie.avi should have a subtitle called movie.srt

==Add new tv series==
+
−
http://www.mediacentermaster.com/old_wiki/HowTo/AddNewTVSeries
+
−
 
+
−
If you have a television series on a DVD disc and want to have Media Center Master get meta data for you, then follow these simple instructions. These instructions assume you know how to rip a DVD disc to your hard drive and that you're comfortable with creating folders and moving files around on your computer.
+
−
 
+
−
(You must be using version 1.16.27509.943 or above.)
+
−
 
+
−
(If the series folder already exists, skip to step 2.)
+
−
 
+
−
1. Create a new Series using Media Center Master's menu Media -> Add a T.V. Series (if the series folder already exists, skip to step 2). We'll use the T.V. show "Lost" as an example.
+
−
Step 1b
+
−
Step 2b
+
−
"Step 3B
+
−
 
+
−
(The 'Keep this series up to date with new episodes' option only appears if you have T.V. episode downloading enabled in the Downloader preferences page. It will be checked on automatically if the series is still airing new episodes.)
+
−
 
+
−
2. Double-click on the series in Media Center Master's main window. In our example, you will double-click on "Lost". This will open up Windows Explorer and automatically navigate you to the folder where your T.V. series videos and meta data should go.
+
−
Step4
+
−
 
+
−
3. Create a new folder for the season that this disc applies to. It should be called "Season 1" (for season #1, etc.). This folder belongs in the T.V. series folder (so for our example, "C:\Video\TV\Lost\Season 1").
+
−
Step 5
+
−
 
+
−
4. Create a new folder inside the season folder that identifies the disc. If this disc has episodes 1-4 on it, then name the folder "S01E01-E04". You can add text before or after the episode identification if you like, but it is optional (such as "Lost S01E01-E04 season 1, disc 1").
+
−
 
+
−
Then, move your ripped disc contents into this new episode folder. Make sure that you include the VIDEO_TS folder from your ripped disc. For our example, you now have .VOB video files in "C:\Video\TV\Lost\Season 1\S01E01-E04\VIDEO_TS".
+
−
Step6
+
−
 
+
−
5. Have Media Center Master fetch meta data for the series. It will pick up the "S01E01-E04" folder as DVD-type episode that has episodes 1-4 of season 1 and will fetch meta data accordingly.
+
−
Step 3
+
−
Step 7
+
−
 
+
−
That's it, you're done!
+
−

==windows media center==
+
−
http://www.mediacentermaster.com/old_wiki/Other/WindowsMediaCenter
+
−
 
+
−
Windows Media Center exists in three different versions of Windows:
+
−
 
+
−
    Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
+
−
    Windows Vista (Home Premium and Ultimate)
+
−
    Windows 7 (Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate)
+
−
 
+
−
For the purposes of the Wiki, we will mostly focus on Windows 7 Media Center and not at all on XP Media Center. Many things that work in Windows 7 will work in Vista, but some do not. If you have specific questions about Windows Media Center, please visit the forums.
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
 
+
−
==mediabrowser==
+
−
http://www.mediacentermaster.com/old_wiki/Other/MediaBrowser
+
−
 
+
−
"Media Browser is a personal media aggregator that takes your recorded, digital, or ripped media and presents it in a simple, easy to use interface."
+
−
 
+
−
Put even more simply, it is one of the richest and most popular Windows Media Center extensions that exist. The best part is, it is free (though they do now have a "supporter version" that allows access to more skins and other tools). It allows you to access your Movies, Music, and TV shows easily and also has the ability to be customized to suit your needs. Mediabrowser has a very strong community and is highly recommended by those who use Media Center not just for regular TV watching. Mediabrowser also works very nicely with Media Center Master. To learn more, please follow one of the links below:

==codecs==
+
−
http://www.mediacentermaster.com/old_wiki/Other/Codecs
+
−
 
+
−
Under Windows 7, many codecs are no longer needed, as they are built-in to the OS. If you do install codecs and/or filters, then these will not be used unless you tell the OS not to use them. This involves a registry hack, but fortunately, someone has written a little utility call Win7DSFilterTweaker that has an easy to use interface for changing the registry.
+
−
 
+
−
If you visit the Win7DSFilterTweaker website, you can find how to use the tool.
+
−
 
+
−
Filters that may be required for all movies to work under Windows 7 include:
+
−
 
+
−
    AC3 Filter
+
−
    FFDShow
+
−
    CoreAVC (if nVidia GPU installed)
+
−
    Haali Splitter (plus 64-bit version of OS is 64-bit)
+
−
 
+
−
Once you have installed these, then you can use Win7DSFilterTweaker to configure them.
+
−
 
+
−
Codec Packs
+
−
 
+
−
If you are into codec packs and want something maybe quicker and easier to use, you can check out Shark007's Codec Packs. His codec packs feature, apart from the codecs themselves, a very simple to use configuration utility that allows you to turn on and off the codecs you want and need. Comes in XP/Vista/Windows 7 32 and 64 bit versions (if you have Vista/7 64-bit, be sure you download both the windows 32-bit and 64-bit codecs as Media Center is 64-bit but the default Windows Media Player is 32-bit).

Adding Fetchers

XBMC installs with two (2) default fetchers: thetvdb.com for TV Series scraping and themoviedb.org for Movie Title scraping.

Media Center Master installs several fetchers as defaults.

Here is where possible conflicts will arise, because different fetchers have been used in Media Center Master. IF you have used different fetchers in Media Center Master to obtain Meta

XBMC has several fetchers that can be installed through add-ons and set as the fetcher for scan/source folder.

The additional fetcher add-ons can be found through:

Movie Fetchers
Confluence Skin Home Page>System>Add-ons>Get Add-ons>XBMC.org Add-ons>Movie information>
Choose a Fetcher, click Install.
After it is completed installing, "Enabled" will appear in the right side of the list.

XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2 = XBMC with Live TV

Before getting started with this guide it is important to note the new version of XBMC, Eden v11.0 will include PVR support, but as of now, all of the current downloadable versions of the Eden version of XBMC are experimental, nightly builds. It is also important to note XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2 is experimental and is not an official release from Team XBMC. In that XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2 does use Dharma the stable XBMC release, and can be considered the most stablest from the available choices, this guide will use XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2.

If a user wants to watch TV on a PC, at least one supported tuner card, or a provider that provides IPTV access is required. The tuner hardware doesn't have to be installed on the same computer on which the user wants to watch TV. The computer with the tuner hardware is called the back-end. The computer used to view TV is called the front-end. The back-end and front-end can be on one computer. XBMC will run on the front-end.

XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2 does not have the capabilities to support a tuner card, or a provider that provides IPTV access, on it's own. It requires support from another program to control a tuner card.(1) This guide will use MediaPortal 1.1.3. MediaPortal is a two (2) part, dual purpose, self supported, program. It works as both; a front-end for viewing TV or IPTV (also known as a TV Client), and a back-end for controlling the tuner card (also known as a TV Server). When the complete program, TV Client (front-end) and TV Server (back-end), is installed on one computer the configuration is called a single seat set-up. MediaPortal's TV Server can also be installed on a single computer, without the TV Client, and configured to support multiple tv cards as a back-end, server. This leaves MediaPortal's TV Client, and it can be installed on other computers, without the TV Server, and configured to support viewing TV or IPTV as front-ends, clients, and use the tuner cards installed on the back-end, TV Server computer. TV Clients can use any tuner card in the TV server that is not in use by another TV Client.

In this guide XBMC Dharma 10.1 + PVR v2 will be used as the front-end, TV Client, and MediaPortal is installed for the use of it's TV Server, the back-end. The problem here is both programs are not written using the same computer code, machine language. The two (2) programs can not communicate with each other. The solution is a plugin written for MediaPortal, MediaPortal 1.1.x - TVServerXBMC plugin v1.1.3.107. After installing MediaPortal the plugin will need to be manually installed into MediaPortal's file/folder structure before the MediaPortal TV Server can be configured for use with XBMC. XBMC can then be configured to use the plugin to communicate with and control the TV Server.

This guide will assume the user is familiar with XBMC Dharma v10.1. The guide will focus on a single seat (Windows) installation where both the TVServer and XBMC are running on the same machine. It will provide: links for preparing for an installation of a single seat set-up of MediaPortal 1.1.3, how to set-up and configure MediaPortal for scanning channels with a tuner card to view live tv through MediaPortal's TV Client, how to install the MediaPortal 1.1.x - TVServerXBMC plugin v1.1.3.107, how to configure MediaPortal 1.1.3 for using the plugin, and configure the MediaPortal PVR client add-on to, finally, view live tv in XBMC.

The guide will then continue by providing information for configuring MediaPortal to utilize Windows Media Center, TitanTV, or Schedules Direct, Electronic Program Guide (EPG) information for the users local area, acquired with additional software (mc2xml), and how to keep it up to date with a user defined scheduled task event in Windows. The EPG will be used in XBMC as a when and what to watch guide, with click-able watch now, or record, features. Additional information will also be provided for obtaining channel, station identification, icons, where to install them, and configure MediaPortal and XBMC to use the icons in XBMC's Live TV Guide.

(1)There are several programs available for this support depending on Operating System used with XBMC and which version of MediaPortal 1.1.x - TVServerXBMC plugin is used, such as: HTS Tvheadend, VDR, MythTV, MediaPortal, and ForTheRecord Argus TV Server.

Downloads required for this guide are all open source.
