[QUOTE="Yucca, post: 1286808, member: 24025"] It´s been a while... :) Well, simply the reason is cause MP1 was working so well... :) Now I decided to upgrade my old servers and give them some "artificial respiration" for few more years. I have been running several servers for different purposes and one of them was dedicated to run my TV-Server (Windows server 2003, 2008 and lately 2016). Now this summer I shut down 4 servers and installed all services in one... BTW, it did a good dent in to my electric invoices... ;) I run Proxmox at my HP ProLiant DL380 G7 Server and XigmaNAS virtually shares my large drives and services, XigmaNAS streams my music playlist to my local network, downloads my torrents etc. All other services, which I didn't get to run on Linux runs from virtual Windows Server 2019 like my ip-phone system, my local DNS server, Pihole, WEB Server and TV-Server. My local network (CAT6) got much faster and more stable, there was so much going on because of Windows... This gave me opportunity to try to share my USB and PCI TV cards (witch are connected to my ProLiant) to virtual Windows and after little wrestling I got it working. My final plan is to jump on MediaPortal 2 train and travel with it to the near future... ;) I have been playing with it as long it has been developed but it has been too early. Now first time v. 2.3.2 is ready. GOOD JOB FOR THAT!!! You guys have done amazing job sens the beginning... Of course there are several things what I will miss from MP1, for example starting MP2 only in tray? i haven´t found that option. Cause I decided that I run MP server in my server, like I use to and connect my clients in to that, sharing all what are configured in server, all the folders, fun art, downloaded subtitles and even the play to continue in a different client. Second thing is that why there is no simple OUI for the server configuration? Now I need to install the whole thing to do the configuration for shared folders and so on? This would not be problem if there was that "starting only in trey" option? In my server it is annoying to manually hide MP2 to tray, if I need to configure something else in that server. I also miss "Classic view only" option for Titanium skin and editing the menu order. I saw this at some other skin but it left me thinking why it haven´t been shared to other skins? My main reason for all this is cause the massive file amount is been quite slow to open with MP1 and now it is finally getting faster as it now shares the folder information thru the database (I wonder how they read folders in KODI? It opens folders very fast). I haven´t found any good wiki for this for MP1 (I think it was possible with that too, correct me if I´m wrong?). I been trying to modify KODI menu, selecting a nice simple skin and using it as a front end but i always came back to MP1, some reason it and the controlling it felt better with remote control?

I am excited to learn something new again and i will wait for the MP2 development and it´s latest version... :) [/QUOTE]
