Hi.

"c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\SlimTVCore\v3.0"

Are you sure you've looked at the right folder? ProgramData normally is a hidden folde so you have to make sure, Explorer is showing hidden files/folders too...

I see "c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Plugins\SlimTVCore3" with the following sub-dirs:

I'm 100% sure that you had looked at C:Program Files instead of ProgramData as the content you list here is from Program Files,

Yah, I have been dense. I was looking in Program Files, not ProgramData. I guess it's a case of code blindness. ... Or I'll blame it on the kids... in any case ProgramData makes way more sense, and I was trying to think where else this file would be stored, since Program Files is a no-no anymore. I did look in AppData....


Anyway, good catch.

I am running MP1 successfully, but want to try MP2. Is it necessary to remove MP1 from the single seat PC before installing MP2. Can the tuning information and channels sorting from MP1 be imported into MP2.
Thanks for a early reply.

Is it necessary to remove MP1 from the single seat PC before installing MP2.

No, but you must stop the TV Server service first before running MP2. I recommend to completely deactivate the service to ensure that you don't accidentally launch the MP1 service.

Can the tuning information and channels sorting from MP1 be imported into MP2.

Yes, they can. Before deactivating the TV service open the MP1 TV configuration and export your channels and groups. After having installed MP2, open the MP2 TV configuration and import the file that you exported under MP1.

Super. Thanks for your inputs.
