    Hey, the "old" one (last year) is fine! Also brings some nostalgia to the home!

    I know the old one needed to have the tv page copied from another skin as it came up with an error saying could not find a particular file. (Can't remember now what it was though). I am running tve3. Other than that all is fine for the basic stuff. Looking forward to turning it on as the kids are at the age to enjoy 9&4

    An updated skin is fine.
    No need to create a complete new one.

    It would just be nice to get the Christmas spirit when you start MP in december...:)

    Sorry to be off topic, but I know who WHAM is. I just never knew there was a Christmas soundtrack :)

    For all knowing George Michael ;)

    In english:
    "I just have to sign here and all radio stations will play my song every year in december?"

    "Forever?"

    well ive taken a look and this is what ive done to get it working

    edit references.xml in the xmas skin folder and edit the version number tag at the top to 2.3.0 of the file to stop MP complaining then copy all xml files starting with mytv from the blue2 skin folder into the xmas skin folder.

    thats it and it seems to be working fine checked all tv functions seems ok no errors or crashes so far, hope this helps someone.

    I did a check of MP 1.36 x64 on Win11 and I can confirm, that the TV server correctly detects running MediaPortal.exe process.

    The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release. It is sometimes possible to use MP clients from a release that is different to the MP server, but whether it works depends on the specific changes that were made between the two releases. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
