[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 1152523, member: 103549"] Hi. I've assume you're installing the TV server bit on existing client - in context Server == TVServer and Client == Full MePo other than TV server - and hence the TVServer is the smallest element:-) Before going further - read <[URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup>[/URL], it's worth the effort. In upgrading to 1.12 you've skipped a step I was relying on - no harm done, just would have made it less 'scary'. Re-install 1.12, do as a Fresh Install [as you have copy of the existing config, you will not loose anything]. Select "YES" to' I will watch TV', then Perform "Advanced Install". [more so you can see what's happening]. Select "SingleSeat" option, and unless you already have SQL install your happy with [and know your SQL server stuff] , select [its the default] MySQL 5. Now, just follow prompts, using default settings - NOTE, it's CRITICAL [[I]really is[/I] if you want it work] that the PC your installing on has a [B]FIXED IP[/B] address - no DHCP for this puppy [client and server elements are separate and communicate over network, even on same machine] - and make a note of this address. Once the install is complete, test it - ignore missing plugins and paths, just test as is - just run config & close, run MePo & close, then reinstall the MovingPictures and LAV plugins - don't worry that MovingPictures is 'empty' - all this simply ensures everything outside the ProgramData dir is correct. If TVServer is running, kill process. Make a copy of the MediaPortal.xml somewhere OTHER than where you have existing backup [just in case]. Copy backup files over the new setup. Rerun MePo config and enable the TV plugin, setting the IP address to the IP address of the machine - this is why NO DHCP. Install TV hardware & driver, then run the MePo TVServer config - this is entirely separate to MePo, so it's impossible to break main setup from here - now depending on hardware & location - it's back to the Wiki for detailed guidance <[URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup>[/URL] and remember, there a whole host of very skilled and supportive bods on this forum, if your hardware, drivers, location or just anything else is problematic, ask:-) So take your time, read the Wiki, MePo is massively tolerant of problem [it may not work, but fix is typically simple IF it goes mental] & [U]remember you have a local data backup & remote friends[/U] :cool: TTFN - JCMP [/QUOTE]
