[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1174101, member: 82144"] Right. You did not answer my question, so you're not making it easy to help you. ;) If I guess that you're using MediaPortal 1 then this can all be explained by the fact that our default [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/9_Glossary/Skin']skin [/URL]"Titan" is designed for use with a remote control. It doesn't work particularly well with a mouse. If you intend to use MediaPortal with a mouse and keyboard then I recommend you switch to a different skin. This is very simple. Have a look through the choices available -->[URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/skins']here[/URL]<-- and see if any take your fancy. Once you find one you like, install it and try it out. If all of that feels too overwhelming, the simplest thing you can do is to: [LIST=1] [*]Open MediaPortal Configuration. [*]Go to the [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/13_GUI#Skin_Selection']GUI section[/URL]. [*]Switch from Titan to DefaultWide. [*]Click OK in the bottom right corner to save and close MP Configuration. [/LIST] Now when you open MediaPortal you should be able to use a mouse. There's absolutely no need for setup to be "involved with many technical steps". I hope you've found our wiki (manual) and are following one of the setup guides: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Quick_Setup[/URL] If you want a simple setup then WebEPG is the worst possible choice you could have made. Yes, it's free... however there's always a trade-off. I'd sooner have recommend [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_%28EPG%29/XMLTV_mc2xml']mc2xml.[/URL] The setup guide for mc2xml would be easier to follow. It's never too late to change. Whichever EPG option you choose, don't hesitate to ask if you have questions. If using WebEPG with the IMDB grabber then yes, you do. I don't disagree. Like I said, if you wanted simple then WebEPG is basically the worst possible choice you could have made. As above: it doesn't have to be hard, but the choices you're making aren't helping...
