[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1297656, member: 141969"] It is not obvious why the problems started in the first place, but my guess would be that it was a Windows 10 update of some sort. I think that my "total reset" procedure described in a previous post would give you the best chance of getting a working system again. I note that you have uninstalled all of the other releases of MP (and MySQL?), but you have not deleted all of the folders in "Program Files" and "ProgramData" that have "Team MediaPortal" or "MySQL" in the name. If the problem is a bad or incompatible config file in one of those folders, re-installing MP (and MySQL) won't solve the problem. I realise that you want to retain as much of your previous setup as possible. If you can run "TV Server Config" that has your current setup, then export all settings to some other disk, and copy the file "MediaPortal.xml" to that other disk. If your recordings reside within the "Team MediaPortal" folder tree, copy those to some other disk. Then: [LIST] [*]Run the uninstallers for MP and MySQL again. [*]Delete the folders that have "Team MediaPortal" or "MySQL" in the name. [*]Reboot. [*]Access the internet. [*]Install MP 1.33 32-bit. [/LIST] If this still does not work, I would suggest that you give up on MP1 and try instead MP2, which is described on [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/news/mediaportal-2-5']this page[/URL]. For MP2, install MP 2.5.0 Net4.8, selecting TVE 3 ([B]not[/B] TVE 3.5, which does not work properly). The MP2 installer can be found [URL='https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2/releases/download/MP2.5_Final/MediaPortal2-2.5.zip']here[/URL]. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
