Therefore what I did was uninstalling TV Server and run the MP Setup again to get it on a MySQL Database. No prob so far. Only – MP still thinks it needs to connect to the SQL Server. So –...

MP1 MP2 Import Recorded TV? DE
Thanks for the response :) I know I don't have any associated XML files with them, as they were just .WTV files in a previous life. Is there a way to generate the XML files? If not, I guess I'll have to stick them in as videos - guess I can create a new folder for legacy Recorded TV or something...shame though - I can live with it...

You need to use a skin which has a editor, like StreamedMP, Avalon etc, then you can chose what is on the BasicHome, these already have shortcuts to MovPics and TVSeries on Basichome.

Just in case anyone is looking here for an answer, the MSBuild scripts mess with the version number, so you actually need to do a clean build from within sharpdevelop and then use NSIS to generate the installers. The NSIS scripts are in the setup directory under mediaportal and under TVLibrary.
