[QUOTE="macmr, post: 1295057, member: 115062"] So getting back to this and testing I found out the problem is due to the fact I changed the PC name after the MP install and that is what the error message was all about. Apparently after doing some more searching this issue has been around for many years which leads me to ask why a simple (I think) comparison of the PC name and the name in the db where the PC name is stored couldn't be done on startup of the server? If there is a mismatch then a popup (The PC name = "???" The MP db = "???" - You need to make them the same) and then quit the server startup. This would be much clearer than the original message that really means nothing to an ordinary user. At least a clear message would point the user towards a clear way to fix it like here: [URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/plugins/servlet/mobile?contentid=10453647#content/view/10453647"]Confluence Mobil - MediaPortal Documentation[/URL] [/QUOTE]
