Display MoreJust after a little bit of advice please now i've read the forums. Just to recap, what are the benefits between the following three again?
M*G
XC API
M3U
Which would be the best option to use with XE editor and for catchup to also work - I think it's M*G, but just wondering how everyone else has theirs configured.
I don't think it's possible to record one chnl and watch another at present.
Thanks
I'm currently using XE & m*g because it offers catch-up. It's currently the best option if you use XE & MOL2. But m*g can not use more than 1 connection (it's a m*g limitation and nothing to do with either XE or MOL2).
I would prefer to use M3U with XE as it normally allows you to use more than 1 connection (ie watch & record separate channels, but not currently available in MOL2). I also find that the tv guide loads much faster using the m3u/xmltv system. Also no catch-up currently available via m3u on MOL2.
XC Api allows catch-up, time-shift, more than 1 connection (but not currently via mol2), extra information about your line (subscription length). But it can't be used in conjunction with XE as XE does not provide a username & password.
I suppose if you could fully edit groups and channels in MOL2 then XC Api would be a great method if your providers own tv guide was any way half-decent. There would be no real need to use XE in that case.
