It seems like some file or other has got corrupted, as when I try and start MP I get an error saying it's "side-by-side configuration is incorrect". In fact it looks like MediaPortal.exe.config is the problem, as that's blank!

I can use MP Config and TV Server Config no problem. I would just do a upgrade re-install, but I'm worried that it will overwrite stuff and it doesn't allow me to de-select TV Server and the Client plugin from being re-installed, which I don't want to do as they're working fine.

Try overwriting with mine.

Nice one brother. I thought I wasn't going to be able to watch any TV tonight, but you saved me

I'll make sure I add that file to my MP backup now.

Good idea on the backup, had this happen to me once before, so once bitten twice shy
