    MediaPortal to do the same.
    It would help if you could specify more clearly what you mean by "the same".

    In other words, are there specific things that you know or have heard XBMC can do that you would like to be able to do with MP? Examples would help.

    Have you tried and failed to find ways to get MP to do some or all of the above things? If so, short descriptions of your experiences would help.

    You should consider to look at MP2: it can be completely configured from the GUI, has a central server based MediaLibrary for all clients and recently the DLNA-Server plugin made a big progress, allows you to access your media items (audio, video and images) by many UPnP based clients.

    You can always try, select any window, turn off the Media Portal, change the ID of the selected one to the desired one (plugin) and check.

And Hostname is still in red. I don't understand - this is a dedicated TV computer. Unless an update did this I don't know why there's a problem in the...

    I uninstalled MP, made sure no sub folders were left n any programmes folders, changed the computer name, rebooted, installed MP and set logs and rebooted and ran TVServer. Didn't do anything in regard to S Loopback adapter. I've been using NextPvr since the problem became insurmountable. Only reason it's not a good long term...
