vista 64 success with mp1

[chinga69]

hi just installed mp1 server client on vista 64 bit all working great.
when installing there is no option to select server and client on the same machine need to run setup twice to install these is that option left off for a reason or could it be added


also got the clients up and running with new version
i got multiple warnings about xp pro 64bit not supported but even that seems stable and working fine

cheers brad

Hi,
For me it's also a little bit confused. I don't know wich option i have to choose for my TVServer, because I use it as TV server and as client.

Is
"singleseat" -->TVServer and Client?
"TVServer" --> only TV server?
and "Client" --> only client?

For me singleseat mean I can't use a client on an other computer. Maybe it's wrong but the help is not clear

nope, singleseat means that the TV-Server will be installed on the same PC as the "Client".
on the next screen you will then be able if you want to install an SQL server also, or connect to one which is allready present somewhere on the system / lan.

for MediaPortal only you would have had to select that you do not want HD-TV in the screen before.

i know that some texts are not "perfect" yet (like this one). they will be tweaked for Rc2 release.

sub folders are by default only generated for "series" recordings.

if you only create a "once" schedule, then it wont be stored in a subfolder (makes no sense to have one folder with only one file in it )

you can completely change that behaviour in "TV-Server Configuration -> recording settings -> custom path's and filenames"

i.e.
Movies- > Movies\%title% - %channel% - %date%
Series- > Series\%title% - %channel%\%title% - %date% - %start%

this would the create the following folder structure:

• Movies
  • Cars - Disney Channel - 2008-04-18.ts
  • Aladin - Disney Channel - 2008-04-18.ts
• Series
  • House MD - ORF 1
    • House MD - 2008-04-16 - 20:15.ts
    • House MD - 2008-04-17 - 20:15.ts
    • House MD - 2008-04-18 - 20:15.ts
  • Kim Possible - Disney Channel
    • Kim Possible - 2008-04-16 - 20:15.ts
    • Kim Possible - 2008-04-17 - 20:15.ts
    • Kim Possible - 2008-04-18 - 20:15.ts

pretty much config options.
