[QUOTE="makafre, post: 1153310, member: 100993"] It worked! We need to copy the database and thumbs folders; here are the complete steps: - Installed hardware - Created backup of mediaportal folder - Did fresh install with TV option, single seat and SQL5 (all defaults) - Started and closed MePo config and Mepo it self - Added Moving pictures and LAV plugins - Backed up new MediaPortal.xml, database and thumbs folders - Overwrote MediaPortal.xml using backed up one - Overwrote database folder using backed up one - Overwrote thumbs folder using backed up one This way I was able to retain settings for: - Moving pictures configuration and thumbs - Music configurations What I seem to have lost in the process: - Pictures configuration ...but that is not a problem, its easily configurable and for what regards the TV card side it is already up and running. So THANK YOU for helping me avoiding to go through movingpictures reconfiguration, it would have taken me a week otherwise! :-) [/QUOTE]
