    Get divorced and then you can spend as much time as you like.
    The downsides are No money to upgrade your htpc.
    As this is the most expensive answer you could receive, I would seriously consider high's option for a fraction of the above cost.

    :wink:

    zion22 - Stay up late working on it while they are sleeping! Make sure you save the existing folder so you can re-install incase you booger (technical term - I'd be surprised if you didn't know what it meant) it up! I did that working on a project that I loved a few years back while trying to keep sanity in the house. But I was killing myself by only getting two hours of sleep. Needless to say it didn't last very long.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    Hi, my answers to your questions: I use MariaDB 10.5 and Mediaportal 1.33 x86 as a user, not an administrator. MP. When I start Mediaportal, no TV service appears to have started. If I start Mediaportal as administrator everything is ok. Starting the TV service separately is only possible as an administrator. If I then start...

It is an awesome...

    There seems to be an ongoing problem that some users have when trying to install MP 1.36. I regret that I do not know the cause of this problem, and so cannot suggest a solution. However, I can suggest a workaround that (hopefully) will work for you. The workaround is to: Completely uninstall MP, MySQL, and MariaDB. Perform a...
