[QUOTE="aunghtain, post: 797734, member: 115986"] Hello, I'm new to MediaPortal. I followed instructions on the first post and installed media portal 1.2.1 final yesterday. I had MySQL 5.1.59 already installed on my computer. But the installation went OK. Then, I added OnlineVideo plugins. But whenever I opened YouTube, I got "Unable to play video" error. So I thought I might be missing codecs. So I installed SAF6 saf600_111006. Then, when I went to media portal configuration, all video codec options went blank. I thought that it's due to conflicting codecs and ran filmerit and removed the error entry. But it did not resolve missing any codecs options in config. So I tried uninstalling everything tv server/client (except mysql) and re-installed. But during tv server install, setupTV.exe crashed, but installation said complete. Now, every time, i open tv server configuration, windows says setupTV.exe has stopped working, and quit. I took a look at tv log and all I saw was 2011-10-07 16:40:10.855468 [SetupTv(1)]: ---- SetupTv v1.2.1.0 is starting up on Windows 2008 R2 ( Service Pack 1 ) [6.1.7601.65536] 2011-10-07 16:40:10.857421 [SetupTv(1)]: ******************************************* 2011-10-07 16:40:10.857421 [SetupTv(1)]: * WARNING, OS not officially supported * 2011-10-07 16:40:10.857421 [SetupTv(1)]: ******************************************* 2011-10-07 16:40:12.104492 [SetupTv(1)]: ---- check connection with database ---- There's nothing after that. I think that database was not configured correctly (because setupTV.exe crashed during installation.) Now, I have tried removing/installing it again and again (totally removing everything e.g cleanup/MySQL, removing data folders in c:\Program Data folder). I also tried MP 1.1.3 installation. They all got setupTV.exe crash error during installation. I cannot do system restore for some reason (I think 2008 r2 did not allow it or something.) I have looked for solutions in the forum. I tried 1) editing host file localhost -> 127.0.0.1 2) rename setupTV.exe.config -> setupTV.config and TVService.exe.config -> TVService.config 3) also changed MySQL password in gentle.config Can anyone please give me pointer to where else to look? Thank you all in advance. [/QUOTE]
