Is there an Auto audio volume setting?

Hello I find in some movies/shows that the sound effects and music is very loud, then speech is barely audible. This may be more a symptom of movies mixing for theatre experience etc (or me getting old) Is there any auto volume level setting that levels the quiet and loud parts? and spares my volume...

Using Beyonwiz V2 remote to turn on/off TV

Is there any ability to customise the BW remote to turn the TV on/off and control TV volume?

Is the V2 compatible with HDMI CEC? if so do I have to activate something for it to work?

Panasonic Viera TV (Probably about 2011ish)

Roll up multi episodes of recorded TV

Is it possible to show multimedia episodes of one program rolled up,

So say you had 3 days of “60 minutes” it would show like
60 minutes (3)
Rather than each file individually?

WMC did this nicely, see pic

Also is there a prettier view of the recorded shows in the BW? Like posters/thumbnails?

Re: Stan, Netflix, Web browser

I might just pick up a chromecast, $58 at the moment

Seems to do what I need.

Stan, Netflix, Web browser

Hi

Is there a plug-in or addon for Stan, Quickflix, Netflix and the like?

Or a web browser to access these? From Kodi, Plex?

I found a Stan add on for Kodi but it seems to need V18

Will I have to get a chromecast or something similar to play? Recommendations? Is this what WizTV is/was?

Thanks

The V2 drivers don't play well with the DVD code. There is a fixed version here (and install instructions a few posts up).
Thank you!

This worked perfect

Seriously, though, it shouldn't freeze. Some more detail might help those who have libraries of RIPped DVDs and are able to try it out.
All my dvd's were ripped to the attached harddrive using DVD shrink V3.2

Not sure on the specific codec etc that it used. Audio says its AC3 or LPCM

Re: Kodi V18.4 installation

When I opened Kodi today a pop up message appeared that I was using V17 stable and V18 stable was available.

Does that mean we can upgrade?

And if so how?

Playing DVD files

Hi
When attempting to play DVD files from the attached hdd (saved in Audio_TS & Video_TS folders) the beyonwiz freezes is non responsive and can only be used again by Turing the main power off and on again

Do I need to install anything special to play DVD files?

V2 as Plex server

I have copied all my media to the hdd attached to the v2

Can the V2 be a Plex server? If so how do I set it up?

Anything WMC does that Beyonwiz can’t?

My Windows Media Center HTPC is about to die, and I’m looking for a replacement PVR

Is there any functionality I might miss from WMC by going to a Beyonwiz V2?

Thanks

Re: Kicking the Tyres on a V2

Sorry, another question With the FTA guide can I use keyword search in the program title and description to automatically record shows? Say I wanted “Top Gear”, can it record all shows with Top Gear in the guide, e.g “Top Gear : Series Return” Or “Attenborough” to record any show that mentions David...

Re: Kicking the Tyres on a V2

1. Will the system work without an internet connection for FTA TV and recording, scheduling? or does the guide rely on a Beyonwiz source? Operation does not rely on any Beyonwiz sources. You have the option to use the IceTV EPG and recordings management system on it if you want (subscription, $8/mo...
