[QUOTE="Goodmane1980, post: 890173, member: 114774"] Solved! (kind of, and after much gnashing of teeth!) I actually had / have two problems. 1. Changed DNS servers was causing a problem, probably with mysql I think. Other forum posts mentioned similar (with Google DNS) and suggested MySQL could no longer get a network connection due to the dns change. I'd love to know how to fix this as would prefer to have open dns running on my router for website filtering purposes. As soon as I changed back to old dns settings everything was fine. This may be a problem with my dlink router's 'enable dns relay' setting which is enabled and may be sending the old or no dns settings to my lan computers due to them having previously been mac/ip locked and thus perhaps not requesting a new dns setting from the router. Honestly I don't know. When I have the time maybe I'll reconfigure this changing the dns ip settings in each network adapter in the network. 2. The TV server needs to be delayed at startup I think (at least for playback on the server). I hadn't noticed I had this problem before apart from an odd startup message server side about server not being ready (I never realised this was media portal or mysql but now think its mysql not being ready for tv service as after a restart of computer, the tv service needs to be restarted manually then all is well. Anyway hope this helps others help themselves and others...and possibly me again!!! :) Cheers, James [/QUOTE]
