Once I get back home, I'll try that. Thanks!

I did try doing that, but for MP to use that skin, you have to select that from the list within the config program, and if it's not installed normally, that isn't in the list. When I first tried doing this, I copied the entirety of the Team Mediaportal directories from Program Files and Program...

TL;DR: After the reinstall, I was able to properly display videos just fine. But can't get my preferred skin to work, so I'm abandoning Win11 and I'm sticking with my old computer - for now. With a fresh reinstall, everything worked fairly perfectly. I was even able to copy over a Configured...

Well that's a little embarrassing. Such an obvious thing to try. Don't know why I didn't think of that. After doing the original install, I renamed those directories to Team Mediaportal - orig ...so it was a simple matter of just moving the originals back into place. This immediately fixed...

Thanks for that info. I followed the directions and when in MP, started up a video. After 60 seconds passed, the following error box popped up: Unable to play: Cheers S02E04 [...] Video codec: Mpeg4IsoAvc Audio codec: Avc I closed out of that and closed down MP. Once I did that, the...

I've done some looking around, but I can't find any instructions of where the logs are. I did find one link, but it just took me to the main page of the mediaportal wiki.

My mini computer HTPC was doing a fine job running mediaportal, but the internal fan is starting to get very loud. I'd like to simply replace the fan, but I don't think that it's the sort of thing that I can buy on Amazon. So I bought a newer and faster mini computer. It came pre-loaded with...

I've done a few MP1 installs in the past and haven't had a problem, so I didn't expect one today. I just purchased a mini PC with Win11 installed. I downloaded and tried installing Mediaportal 1. I chose single click standard installation with no TV. It started working on things and I wasn't...

Ok, now this really pisses me off, because I tried that yesterday and when I fired up MP and selected videos, it hung. I just tried it now and that appears to be working. (Networks. I hate networks.) Thanks.

I have an existing HTPC that I've been using for years. I'm replacing it with a new machine and I'm trying to get it configured. All of my video files are stored on my personal computer and I have the drive mapped on the HTPC. When I want to add a folder in the video config, it lists the F...

Well, that was good advice. I downloaded and installed MP2. A couple bumps, but I was able to get it going. And I knew pretty much immediately that it wasn't for me. It looks like it was designed for a totally different kind of person. So I got MP1 installed and I'm working through the...

Thanks, that sounds like a sensible plan. I honestly wouldn't know where to start troubleshooting the existing PC. It does next to nothing other than running MP. My video files are stored primarily on my personal PC and the HTPC accesses them through wired network. It's possible that there...

I've had Media Portal 1 installed on a dedicated desktop computer for at least 10 years now. Sometimes it's a little sluggish, but it's always done the job for me. I've decided to toss the old desktop computer and get a new mini PC. It'll have 8GB and Win10. I'll have to reinstall Media...

Thanks so much guys. I'm good now. I did install graphics drivers from the English version of that page, but apparently they were the wrong ones.

It appears I've stumped the band. fwiw, I uninstalled v1.18, then uninstalled, downloaded 1.20 and installed that. No change.
