Tonight I installed RC1 using the deploy tool and selected MySQL for my database. I've found it quite sluggish and timed out a few times. I was wondering if I should of chosen Microsoft SQL server instead. Whats everyone else's database of choice?

Also is there anyway to toggle the OSD to stay on/off while watching TV? Would be really useful when I forget the keyboard shortcuts!
If possible it would be nice to have a picture of the layout of a keyboard and mouse labelled with the functions bound to each key currently when you hold down F1 or something. A sort of cheat-sheet to remind you.

In the EPG can I change the text size? Letters seem a bit big and cramped in the box's.

Would I be right in thinking formating the hard disk with 64K clusters would great improve performance over the default 4K?

I presume I don't need to configure paths to my pictures/music files on a network drive for each of the computers I want to install the Media Portal client if I'm using a TV-server setup. The clients will pull the path information from the server right? Or do I need to invidually configure each client?

[QUOTE="Firejack, post: 284223, member: 30142"] Tonight I installed RC1 using the deploy tool and selected MySQL for my database. I've found it quite sluggish and timed out a few times. I was wondering if I should of chosen Microsoft SQL server instead. Whats everyone else's database of choice? Also is there anyway to toggle the OSD to stay on/off while watching TV? Would be really useful when I forget the keyboard shortcuts! If possible it would be nice to have a picture of the layout of a keyboard and mouse labelled with the functions bound to each key currently when you hold down F1 or something. A sort of cheat-sheet to remind you. In the EPG can I change the text size? Letters seem a bit big and cramped in the box's. Would I be right in thinking formating the hard disk with 64K clusters would great improve performance over the default 4K? I presume I don't need to configure paths to my pictures/music files on a network drive for each of the computers I want to install the Media Portal client if I'm using a TV-server setup. The clients will pull the path information from the server right? Or do I need to invidually configure each client? :thx: [/QUOTE]
