After downloading Media Portal 2 can not find a way to get to or execute "MP Configuration'. There is an icon for "MP TV Tuner Configuration" but not one for "MP Configuration'. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
Can not locate icon or app to execute "MP Configuration" (1 Viewer)

Hi,
There is no such software - settings are done completely from within MP2. Only teh TV part requires external configuration first.

In the Quick Start instructions on the MP website it states the following: After installing MediaPortal, start MediaPortal Configuration using the shortcut on your desktop or in the Start Menu under Team MediaPortal. Please explain what this means.

You're right, our wiki (manual) does say that... in the "MediaPortal 1" section. As HTPCSourcer tried to explain, you have chosen to use MediaPortal 2 so that advice does not apply. MediaPortal 1 does have an external configuration program called "MediaPortal Configuration"; MediaPortal 2 does not.

Please explain what this means. I have done everything to get this program to work. I have done the TV configuration. When I open Media Portal I get 6 rectangles titled Browse Media, Audio, Videos Movies, Series, & Images. I can do nothing with these rectangles. There has got to be something to configure these rectangles. That is why I need a MP Configuration Icon!! What am I doing wrong-what did I miss. Somewhere I read something that I need a remote. Where do I get this remote? I have a remote for my Windows Media Center. Please Please give me some help here. My email is ldarms44@netzero.net.

I already explained as best as I can. There is a shortcut for MediaPortal 1, but MediaPortal 2 (which is completely different) does not have an external configuration program... so there is no shortcut.
As HTPCSourcer already told you: the configuration/settings are accessed from inside MediaPortal 2, instead of in an external program. Other rectangles - including a settings one - should become available if you scroll either left/right or up/down.
Scroll using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
You don't need a remote. You can use a remote if you want to, but you don't need a remote to use MP 2. A keyboard is sufficient.
Sorry, I will not be emailing.
You found the TV Section setup, good...
Launch the MP2 Client, Using a keyboard, Down Arrow to Options

Not really.
1. Use your keyboard to navigate
2. Look for Settings
3. Configure your media sources
There is a tutorial somewhere in the MP2 section that was written by Lehmden

Thank you, SCROLL is the magic word! Why did they not put a simple statement: "Scroll to see more rectangles"? Better yet if they made the rectangles smaller they could put them all on one page.
