    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 don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    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...

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...
