    Reinstalling seems a bit... well, over the top.
    A database link problem should be easily fixable. Are you sure you don't want to try to fix it? We're talking about a 2 minute fix if you can provide log files for us to check. Use the MediaPortal Watchdog tool with option 3 ("export...") to collect log files.

    No.

    I went ahead and reinstalled. Afterward, I realized, I may have been able to fix by changing the default name , a step I forgot to try. Its working now, but next time Ill be more surgical with the problem

    Well, I had already recognized your problem, but I still wanted to point out the basic connections once again. Unfortunately, I don't have a fundamentally different solution for you, but with this approach you should achieve your goal. ;) The idea of first setting the current genre colors with the defines is certainly a good one, as...

    According to Wikipedia, Windows only uses code pages other than UTF-8 to support legacy (mostly 32 bit) applications and supports two code pages in addition to UTF-8 (OEM and ANSI). According to Microsoft, UTF-8 has been the preferred character set since 2019. If TV Server (or its import routine) were using UTF-8, then umlauts...
