[QUOTE="Neoculture, post: 1288339, member: 116834"] I have been a relatively happy user of MP1 for quite a while. My setup is a dedicated HTPC connected to my TV, a TV capture device (HDHomeRun) on the network, and a number of NAS holding my movies, TV series and audio files. And it all works fine... except it's starting to show some problems (TV-Series won't allow me to change view from "not viewed" to "all", MP1 doesn't restart automatically any more after Windows reboot, etc). It's all relativey minor stuff, but it's starting to annoy me enough that I am looking at wiping my HTPC and starting from a fresh Windows install. Which got me thinking - why not give MP2 a try before I start the MP1 wipe/re-install process? So I dug out an unused laptop (It's my travel laptop... not much travelling in the last 2 years) and installed MP2 as client/server on it. TV worked like a charm once I set up the HDHomeRun software, so I proceeded to add one each of my Movie, Audio and Photo NAS drives to check how things work. First of all, can I say that the Wiki does not make it clear the difference between Client, Server and NAS sources, and sometimes seems to require you to pick an option that is either not on the screenshot or is there twice as sub-options under two separate options. But I muddled through (I hope) and was rewarded (?) by percentage tickers in the Media Source Status screen. Eventually, all the tickers passed 99% and I was left with this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1644544627175.png"]209924[/ATTACH] Now what? The main menu does not show anything about movies or TV series - but there [I]is [/I]a Local Media option which gives me this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1644544769643.png"]209925[/ATTACH] Not intuitive, but OK... except whenever I click on the Movie folder, I get.. nothing. MP2 shows the "please wait" swirly and never returns. Maybe I am doing something wrong (very likely), but I cannot find anywhere in the wiki that tells you how to go about [I]playing[/I] videos or audio files. Another thing that potentially will put the kibosh on my move to MP2 is the fact that each "volume" is listed separately. Will this continue as I add more Movie volumes? Since I have (for example) several NAS boxes holding movies, I would prefer ALL the movies to appear as a single unified "movie" volume, not split out over the individual NAS - which is something the MP1 MovingPicture plugin does already. Again, perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree but (again) I cannot find anything in the wiki to tell me one way or the other. sooo... what am I doing wrong, and how do I go about rectifying it? :( [/QUOTE]
