[QUOTE="dobyken, post: 1164318, member: 95522"] Sorry.. Did you think I was referring to MediaPortal? It's KODI using ANY backend server I tried that has trouble with timeshifting. That's why I'm going back to MediaPortal. I had issues with Kodi and WMC and NextPVR as backends. Others had problems with TVHeadend and Myth. I haven't tried Kodi with MediaPortal since figured if I'm going to load MP TV I might as well use MP clients. Multiple PCs can connect to the [B]same[/B] stream. So in your case four PCs can watch the same show simultaneously. If you want to watch different stations then you need multiple tuners in the server (which applies to cable and SAT TV but not necessarily to IP streams) That's basically a full install from scratch which isn't a problem. I wasn't sure if any of the devs had written a migration tool for themselves to make it easier to test new installations. I could write a program in Python or VB6 to pull the data from KODI and import into MP but it would be a lot of work to save myself 4 or 5 hours of downloading metadata. So I have to go into window's services and set it to not autostart? I would assume that if I just turned off the server in the manual settings it would restart on a reboot. Edit 12:09 EST I took a quick look at Trakt and it looks like I might be able to install the Kodi plugin to setup my TV series watched list the install the MP Plugin to update the new installation. It's not entirely clear if Trakt just list things you've watched since installing it or it will copy everything you've watched previously. I'm not concerned too much with movies but I have over 200 TV Series sitting on my server. Thanks for the info. [/QUOTE]
