Hi,
Until now I've been using MP0.2.2.0 and have been very pleased with it but since the new version is out I would like to install it with the TV-server. There are a few things though which are not clear to me so I would appreciate if this could be clarified by the specialists out there.
1) am I interpreting it right that by using the TV-server, I can watch/record multiple channels at the same time with my PVR-350?
2) what's the practical difference between using Microsoft SQL or MySQL, so in terms of (dis)advantages between them?
3) is there a way to re-use my lyrics, album coverart?
I also installed MP for a friend who only has 1 pc so it's also used by his wife and kids for usual browsing, mailing, .... stuff. There are multiple XP user accounts on it and I had created an extra 'MP' account in which several services, anti-virus, themes, drivers, ... are not loaded but the main problem is when they are using the pc on another account then for MP, scheduled programs were not recording - which makes sense of course.
4) am I seeing it right that this problem is solved by using the TV-server?
Thanks a lot in advance for your answers!
