[QUOTE="oscar615, post: 1124416, member: 151366"] SO I went ahead and setup mediaportal. I did the advanced setup, but did not change a thing. So basically the one click setup with multiple clicks. I just wanted to see what mediaportal was doing. I set up one computer as a mediaportal/tv server, hooked to a monitor via dvi. And another as a client, hooked to a hdtv via hdmi. When done, on the server, I had two new icons on the Windows8.1 desktop. TV server configuration and mediaportal extension manager. On the client, also win8.1, I had four new icons. mediaportal, mediaportal configuration, mediaportal extension manager and mediaportal watchdog. So following the wiki, I am supposed to start mediaportal. I assume on the client. But when I click the mediaportal icon it does not start medaiportal, but instead runs mediaportal configuration, just the same as the mediaportal configuration icon does. So, what did I do wrong if anything, and how do I start mediaportal? Just in case you need hardware spec: server: AMD A10-5700, 3.40ghz; 8 gig ram, 4TB of hard drives on two drives; Windows 8.1 64 bit client: A new computer Celeron J1900, 1.99ghz; 4 gig ram; 500 GB hard drive; win8.1 64 bit Also when I start the mediaportal coniguration app on the client I see that it put my media folders on the C: drive. I don't want them there. When I go to edit the folder paths, to point the paths to the folders on the server, the client sees the server but won't connect. At least the first few times I ran it.
