Setting up MP on multiple PCs

Micra · 2007-07-12, 04:17

I have setup MP and customised the screen menus, enable/disable plugins, location of videos, music, etc, on one PC in my home LAN.

I am now installing MP on another PC but do not wish to go through the entire customising process.

Which files should I copy from the first PC to bring over all the custom configurations so that the second MP will be identical to the first one?

I believe you just need the any XML files you can find and maybe grab the databases too, although you may need to modify the settings for your TV tuner card on the second PC unless it is exactly the same brand/type of card.

I went through the file "MediaPortal.xml" and it shows almost all details of my configuration. But I could not find configuration details of some plugins in this file.

For example, I have a number of items added in "My programs" plugin. Where are those details stored?

Usually the MP database itself
