    sure you are scanning the right Share?

    What typ of music we're talking about? mp3, ogg, ....
    Have you told mp to scan for those extensions?

    have a look at the mediaportal.log. It should give a messages for every song added.

    The music is probably "there", but you are viewing in the wrong folder

    Like here;

    All folders are scanned and added, but I will only start by seeing the "Musikk-TAG"-folder. If I wanna see the rest, I gotto browse them (using the "up" function, and selecting other folders).

    Therefore; you should have one folder which includes all music you want MP to have access to... like "My Music"

    I did a check of MP 1.36 x64 on Win11 and I can confirm, that the TV server correctly detects running MediaPortal.exe process.

    Those folder's last modified time isn't really accurate it seems. Latest change was a merge from PR #384 on may 3rd which was exactly that fix, see f.e. MediaPortal-1/mediaportal/MediaPortal.Application/MediaPortal.cs at 8fa4ccca20059a5534a029266efa596e83387f5b · MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1

    That could have been useful alternative to the CEC Remote, shame they stopped making the Harmony. I have not given up completely on the CEC Remote, there is an option to trigger putting the TV and AVR into standby when MP closes which I want to try, currently I do not have that enabled as it means both video and audio devices will be...
