The good news is that the TV4Home Add-In works as advertised. My hope was to put together a walk-through/guide, but as of now I ran into a couple of issues that brought things to a halt.
With the announcement of TV4Home and the fact that I already have an HDHomerun Networked TV Tuner set up on my Windows Home Server, I thought this would be a great opportunity to dive back in. However, I found at the time setting up a little more challenging and involved then I had hoped. There were many things to like about it, including a large user community, a variety of plugins/skins, and PVR functionality. A while ago as part of my Media Center Software Central writeup I highlighted Media Portal. Simply visit your WHS Remote Access Website and click on the TV4Home link.įor those who aren’t familiar with, Media Portal is an open source HTPC media center similar to XBMC, Windows Media Center, and SageTV. With the Web-Interface you can schedule recordings by using the EPG (Electronic Program Guide) from any Internet-connected PC. It integrates into the WHS Console or the WHS2011 Dashboard and provides an overview of the current TV Server status. The Add-In is available for the original Windows Home Server, as well as for the new version Windows Home Server 2011 (Vail). The installation procedure is based on easy to use wizards, which means you can get your TV Server up and running in a couple of minutes! You can then record your favorite TV shows or stream Live-TV to network clients. TV4Home installs MediaPortal TV Server on your Windows Home Server.
As someone who is always looking for a way to turn Windows Home Server into a central media hub, I was pretty excited when today a new Add-In for Windows Home Server v1 and Vail called TV4Home was announced.
