Thank you. The full uninstall worked. The info in your post should be added to Uninstalling MediaPortal . That page claims that selecting the "Full Product Cleanup" gives a "clean uninstall" when it doesn't and extra manual steps are needed.

I am trying to install Mediaportal with TV Server. I tried many versions, including current x64 and new prerelease x86, and upgrades as well as uninstalls. I always get this error: "Connection failed! Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts." Any way around this? I would suggest...

Master has: Regex rximdbid = new Regex(@"(?:\s|\+|^)(?<imdbid>tt\d{7,8})\b"); I.e. removing the first bits in the regex makes it work for me.

Using TI_MDB with the regex replaced with Regex(@"(?<imdbid>tt\d{7,8})") works.

Same issues as in the OP. No description for the non-working ones. Changing TI_MDB to alter the regex to the one listed in the linked issue generally gives "no IMDB info found".

This thread was incorrectly marked as solved. It was never solved and remains a huge usability problem with Mediaportal. Every time I do a Mediaportal update I need to search for this thread and hack the system in order to get it working again. One solution would be: get one or more grabbers...

Which do you think is the best current grabber then? If there were issues on github that would be a good place to discuss this. You think TMDB.csscript is better then the other four?

Choice is NOT good. The userbase of mediaportal should not be restricted to people willing to post in forums and hack their systems in order to get software working. Anything exposed to users in the normal process of usage should work. Adding non-working choices seriously harms the software...

I am on 1.23. I got my setup working using TI_MDB (manual download from github) but I could set up another system for testing in a few days. However there is only any point in testing or improving the best one, which as far as I can tell is TI_MDB, as the rest should be deleted. No need to...

IMDB_MP117x does not work. TI_MDB works, but it isnt included in the scripts available online (downloaded via mediaportal configuration). It can be downloaded from github (link) and copied in manually. TMDB.csscript (link) doesn't contain any reference to the setting you mention. At the moment...

Mediaportal 1.23 with grabbers updated via Mediaportal Configuration has several problems: 1. There are 3 IMDB EN grabbers (one called "IMDB with AKA" and two with version numbers) when there should be 1. 2. None of the these IMDB grabbers retrieve the Plot successfully (all return "unknown")...

I don't believe this is solved. MP1.23 contains three EN IMDB grabbers and all of them result in Plot = "unknown". Solved would be that the latest MP1.23 or latest online grabbers only have one EN IMDB grabber and it gets all the data correctly. To the extent that there is a solution outside of...

MP 1 has excellent browsing by folders. Browse on one side of the screen, with info about the currently selected content on the other. Browsing audio has a similar structure. This is an absolute requirement for a many users. Tags cannot substitute for folders because: 1. Tags can't express a...

OK looks like MP2 will not work for me then. I am not against tagging for display of information; that's very important and something I will use Media Buddy to help with. But I don't want to browse based on tags, but by a folder structure.

In MP1 you can browse specified movie folders on one side of the screen, and the info comes up on the other side about any currently selected film. Great I will try Media Buddy. I very much prefer folder organization to tagging. And this would interfere with folder organization.
