[QUOTE="Chuckinator, post: 1292981, member: 169927"] So, I appear to have done a successful install of Media Portal (MP2 vers. 2.5) on my Windows 10 machine but I can't get it to get content from my Spectrum cable wifi. It's a used Dell desktop with 8 megs of RAM running at 3.7 Ghz and 900 gigs of available memory on the hard drive. I have a USB wifi receiver on the computer. I've been able to pull up Spectrum TV just fine on my web browser, as well as a couple of other streaming services, so that's definitely working. I bought the computer just to be a DVR for my wife, who likes to record old movies and play them back, and hates the way the movies vanish periodically at the whim of Spectrum. I have Media Portal shortcuts on the desktop for the client, for logs and for Media Portal Configuration. I have set the Media Portal up for Client/Server on same computer. I can click on the Media Portal shortcut and it opens up the program. I can click through all the menus, but there's no content. There's nothing in the TV listings area. No videos, no movies, no nothing. When I go to Settings/General/Connections/Wifi I get the name of our Spectrum wifi (SpectrumWhatever) with a black dot in the circle. Which is weird, because I did not provide Media Portal with the login password, as I had to in order to get Spectrum on the browser. I'm, pretty sure that's a clue! I clicked on the Media Portal Configuration shortcut and ran it but not joy. I think my Media Portal is configured. Anybody have a clue as to what's going on? I've tried reading the instructions of course, but they seem to have been written by alien computer programmers on drugs. (No offense!) [/QUOTE]
