I just noticed that my music database only updates on its own in 'Shares' view mode. In every other view mode, I have to open the MP configuration, go to Music Database and click 'Update database from selected shares'. Kind of annoying after awhile. Is this normal, and if not, is there a fix?

It pops up when using each of the three skins I have installed, so it's not skin specific. It's something Media Portal has built into it somewhere, but I...

Your post is pretty short. It's better to elaborate. And ask for support the proper way (look in the first post on the Newcomers forum, it's on top). Did you follow the install guide?

There should be no problem playing the ripped DVDs in MP. DVDShrink is is good choice. But since DVDShrink has not been updated for a long time you need something else (like the thing sometimes refered to as 'the sly fox') running in the background to break newer protections. I have never tried to do without the VIDEO_TS folder, I...
