How to transfer all of one's own data / settings to a new installation on another Notebook? Is there an import, export option?

Is there a portable MediaPortal?

    Just copy “C:\Program Data\Team MediaPortal” to your other PC. In case it’s about media settings (watched/unwatched, progress, …) activate user management in your clients. Once you log in with the same user on your clients all media settings are shared.

    Many thanks.

    That sounds easy. So just copy the entire C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal to the new installation.

    In case it’s about media settings (watched/unwatched, progress, …) activate user management in your clients. Once you log in with the same user on your clients all media settings are shared.

    Isn't it possible without log in? I do do not want to do it each time?

    Actually, you just reminded me of how I have handled this in the past: I merged the contents of an old export.xml with a new one to make a complete file containing the old values I needed and the new values I didn't want to change. Why should it matter if the export file is missing some values? I would expect the import process to...

    Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.

    Thanks very much, Jasmeet. Worked. But note that this setting has moved, apparently, to: Settings > TV (not Plugins)

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...
