    If you are just going to backup a existing installation, copy the whole MP folder to where you want backup saved, easy.
    Then reinstall that version, and overwrite files to repair/replace.

    Not with clean install from RC3 to RC4.
    You have to delete the folder completely.
    This has been asked in other posts without any solution.

Unfortunately, I don't have a fundamentally different solution for you, but with this approach you should achieve your goal. ;) The idea of first setting the current genre colors with the defines is certainly a good one, as...

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...

    It's getting weirder..... If I remove all the IP cards in the TVServer setup and then add them back I can scan the M3u and tune the stations but if I rescan it on the same card it just keeps updating the 1 channel. My brain is melting.........
