[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 1277259, member: 103549"] Hi OS & version - assume W10 and recent, so you MAY have to install .Net 3.5 [even tough you will also have newer version] for MePo 1.25, not sure if it's a fixed requirement for 2.2.3. Platform - sounds more than capable BUT consider what else you have running on it at same time. Drives - recommend solid state for TV tuner time shift and probably recording, rest, depends on what you have really, spinning rust is perfectly acceptable:cool: Tuners - outside of my knowledge but MePo support in Tuner space is excellent. MePo version - 1.25 or 2..2.3 - down to need and taste. Personally - MePo Version 1 with MP-TV Series and MovingPictures plugins [sorry, but MP2 just lacks fine control & tailoring of content at present], but if need/want Multi-client, value picture-in-picture [which as you have a lot of tuner options may well be critical], then MP2 is for you. You can install both but not sure if any risk of clash [on install] from the TV-Server side - you cannot USE both at the same time, as the TV_Server engines cannot both run at same time [quite rightly so], but it would allow you to try both. Would suggest IF you have a large media only allow MePo [either version] to catalogue a subsection to start with as that can take a long time to complete, so if you decided not to use a given version it's not so great a loss. Finally - either version, forum support to help is excellent. Hope that's of some value. TTFN - JCMP [/QUOTE]
