    When doing a client-only install, a TV Server Program Group is still setup. Can this be eliminated?

    I checked my other PC where only the client is installed and no TVServer program group there. Can someone else also verify please?

    The installation of the TV server client plugin causes this.

    The installer for 1.0 doesn't give the option of client install using TVE2 only.

    Options @ install are:

    1) Server + Client + TVServer plugin.

    2) Server only.

    3) Client with TVServer plugin.

    I have the start menu group on mine, & the plugin install creates a TV Server directory under the Team Mediaportal one, along side the client directory.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    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.

    Judging by the source code, 1.20 has DB version 61, and 1.33 has DB version 62. That is, one column has been added: symbolRateMultiplier

    I have recently installed MediaPortal 1.37 (x64) and MP-TVSeries v4.5.1.697 and unfortunately the TV episode runtime duration is missing in my Titan skin. This only applies to my .TS files, my .MKV files are OK. I believe the difference is likely to be because .MKV files embed the runtime in the file unlike .TS files. I have done...
