Hi,

I have both SQL and MYSQL installed on my Media Portal server, but I don't know which one is in use by Media Portal.
Is there any way to tell?
Thanks!

    Open a TVServer.log file that shows the startup of the TVServer and look for:
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,272] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Controller: Initializing TVServer
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,272] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Controller: 1 init attempt
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,272] [Log ] [PowerEventThread] [DEBUG] - TV service PowerEventThread message loop is running
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,288] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\gentle.config
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,288] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Controller: using SQLServer database connection: Password
    [2015-06-26 11:53:55,288] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Controller: started at SERVER

    In this case MSSQL is used. MYSQL would show "MySQL" instead.

    Alternatively open gentle.config at C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server and check which <DefaultProvider Name> is uncommented

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply. The reason was I had unchecked the Windows Media Player item in Windows 10 Control Panel > Program and Features > Turn Windows features on or off as I didn't need it, without thinking that it was needed by MediaPortal. I kept the "Media...
