[QUOTE="pirivan, post: 412308, member: 65342"] I am not sure if this is specifically a skin issue but it seems likely based on the symptoms. So, here is my issue. I followed the guide to create a centralized database: [url=https://www.team-mediaportal.com/manual/UserGuides/CentralisedDatabases]UserGuides/CentralisedDatabases - MediaPortal Manual Documentation[/url] It seems to work perfectly, however, when you launch MediaPortal it hangs for a LONG time "Initializing Texture Manager". If you look at: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Cache\Black & White 1080 You can see that the folder is empty and it is VERY slowly re-caching the skin files (the skin files had already been cached prior to creating the centralized database). So, I waited for this to finish (took over an hour) and then it loaded MP no problem. However, as soon as I excited MP, it cleared the cache and thus when it was opened it tried to re-cache the entire skin again. I'm using MP 1.0.1 and the latest versions of Black and White 1080, Moving Pictures and TV Series (not SVN versions of anything, simply the latest released). The shared database configuration is exactly as noted above, a folder for config, database and thumbs with files copied from my local installation to these network locations: \\server-whs\MediaPortal\Config \\server-whs\MediaPortal\Database \\server-whs\MediaPortal\Thumbs I attached my configuration.log that I believe was from when I had been trying to use the centralized database. If it's necessary for troubleshooting I will start up mediaportal again with the Centralized Database edited MediaPortalDirs.xml and collect logs (I set it back to the local databases as I couldn't get it to work right).
