[QUOTE="austio, post: 653510, member: 104269"] Just for the sake of sounding off; I've invested about 12 hours getting MP and the new TV server running on two clean installs of XP SP3. I found that codecs were my biggest problem getting things to work. Granted, I am also a "tweaker", So I quickly broke my TV server box by editing the registry and trying to remove dlls. So now I need to reinstall everything again, and the Win Xp disk doesn't read. Frustrating? Yes, but I won't give up yet on this amazing software. I am happy so far, and I am not even done... This might be because this is the first setup I have done on hardware worthy of running MP, so I am loving the results. I only have a few plugins and tweaks set so far, and even with the time commitment, I am excited about all the new features available and the amount of development that is alive and well all over the forums. So, even if you are an old timer, try to look at it with new eyes and give it some time. You'll be hard pressed to find better looking software out there, and probably not near as many custom extensions (although, yes, this is sometimes seen as a detractor). [/QUOTE]
