Default RAdio Setup & Skins

Okay You will all look at this question from someone who is newbier than a three legged blind kitten, but it is kinda annoying me.

1. Radio - There is no radio list, when I go into confi it asks what folder I want to link to, How do I get the radio listing to work and show me stations, its probably really easy but I have searched the site and the config to no success.

2. SKins - I downloaded a skin which came as a RAR file, which I put in the Skin folder as directed, but Mediaportal does not seem to recognise it as a skin, I am probably doing something stupid wrong but some help would be great.

Again sorry for the compklete newbieness of the question but I was just honouring the title of the forum.

Regards

Slainthe

1. The radio options can be found in TV-Server configuration. There is the Radio Channels tab where you can put webstreams and playlists etc.
2. Winrar extracts the folders too by default. Look at skin folder if there is something unusual, like skin folder or so. If there is a skins folder in MP directory, copy the stuff to skin folder.. Usually winrar likes to put stuff where they aren't supposed to go

These are whats called zipped\compressed files, you need something like winrar, 7zip, winzip Click on BLUE LETTERING will take you to 7-zip's homepage where you can download their free version.

Just extact the files to your desktop and then move them to where they are needed.
