[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1185671, member: 74879"] Hi wiyosaya, There is actually no direct upgrade - you need to install MP2 from scratch, which sounds more complicated than it is. There is a step-to-step description but unfortunately it is in German. Unless you have extensive proprietary movie and series information (other than standard), you can install MP2 in parallel to your existing MP1 installation: [LIST] [*]Export your TV channels from MP1 TVService [*]Stop MP1 TVServer service! [*]Install MP2 [*]Configure the TVServer part [LIST] [*]While the software is the same as for MP1, the database is not. [*]You can nonetheless simply import your channels using the export fomr the first step, which is a great time saver [*]Reconfigure EPG [/LIST] [*]Launch the MP2 client [LIST] [*]Note that there is no separate MP2 cient configuration like for MP1 everything is set up from within MP2 [*]Define your shares - MP2 will automatically download movies and series information [/LIST] [/LIST] Select your skin - again from within MP2 - and give it a try. If you are not happy you can simply stop the MP2 server (or completely uninstall) and restart the MP1 TVServer to return to your initial state. Note that the current choice of plugins for MP2 is limited when compared to MP1, but likely to catch upo quickly. MP2 comes with TV logos and OnlineVideos, which covers most of the standard requirements. Regards, HTPCSourcer [/QUOTE]
