Hey,

What files do I have to back-up in order to be able to restore the database after a system-format//-crash? [-> the data-disks don't change, so the database should be exactly the same as before]

Hi. Use the files in Program Files\Team Mediaportal\Media Portal\databases\*.*

You might also consider saving your thumbs (same as above, replace databases with thumbs).

MP1 MP2 [solved] Fresh MP2 install issues (no DVD sound / LAV filters) DE

Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

After many hours of troubleshooting I've given up and accepted that it's just "one of these things" when using madVR for watching live TV. I've now ticked the box to "Use EVR for LiveTV", with a default display refresh rate of 50Hz. In combination with tweaking some of the Nvidia 3D settings for the MP executable only, I now have a...
