Noobie Alert!
I tried XBMC back with the last version, but there was no TV tuner option, so I stuck with Win7's Media Center - a serious PITA, I might add, trying to get the codecs to work with all the various file types out there.
So, now I have v12 Frodo up and running on our Media PC (ASUS EB1501 with an NVIDIA ION video) with one of the older HDHomeRun Dual Tuners.
When trying to enable any of the PVR features, I got the error that no PVR Client was installed. Reading through the FAQs and sticky posts, I started in the The XBMC Live TV and PVR/DVR Setup Guide and selected/installed MediaPortal as my backend. I walked through the configurations on them, then went into XBMC and followed the Configuring XBMC guide.
I THINK everything is done, but XBMC gives me this message: "MediaPortal PVR Client Connection Lost" - or something like that. I have not found a way to run XBMC in a Normal Window so that I can use my web browser at the same time.
Is there a noobie mistake I am making that I did not catch?
FYI: I ran through the HDHomeRun settings and selected XBMC as the default media device (it automatically showed up under the drop down list of options).
