Installation, configuration support (400 Viewers)

Having trouble installing or configuring MediaPortal?
I am not an SQL expert. Do you already have a version of MySQL installed? If the answer is "yes", then try not upgrading MySQL during the MP install, i.e. stay with whatever version of MySQL you already have. Note: you will need to deselect the "install MySQL" option on the relevant panel during the install, as MP will pre-select...

MP1 MP2 [solved] Client wont start Live TV (1 Viewer) DE
[SOLVED!!!!!] The final piece, which probably should have been the first piece, was version incompatibility. My TV server version was way older than my client versions, and I guess there were too many changes in between those two that it couldn't read the database. Updating the TV server to the latest stable release (same as the...

Thanks that looks like it will do the trick. It looks as if the is a plugin.if_enabled(Settings) or similar that is missing which is why it displays the menu even when settings is disabled.

Are you saying that your cable provider is not encrypting any of its channels? I'd be very surprised if that were the case... and I think some people may want to know who your provider is. I'm not seeing a relevant attachment. If you're getting inconsistent scan results then it's possible you haven't set the SDT/VCT timeout high...

That's great! :) You can re-assign the buttons to perform the functions that you want. Although MP has support for "Microsoft MCE", the default button assignments are not as compatible with WMC as you might expect. I customised my remote to match more closely the WMC buttons, especially in the EPG panels (TV and radio). (y) Click...

MP1 MP2 QAM64 channels DE
Interesting. I know that QAM 64 is sometimes used. However, this is the first time that anybody has reported having trouble receiving such channels. Therefore I had assumed that tuners just automatically searched for both QAM 256 and QAM 64 at each frequency. Sorry to say that if your tuner doesn't auto-search QAM 64 then the only...

MP1 MP2 Strange error message (1 Viewer) DE
I finally found the reason for this error. Microsoft Loopback adapter in address 127.0.0.1 was disabled. There was a message saying that the adapter is automatically disabled if there are any conflicts. So the network was OK, but the virtual network card didn't capture the traffic.

Unfortunately this is not sufficient. Windows has confusing meanings/rights for administrators. Okay, thanks. I have no idea what that error means. MySQL is a third party database system.
