    Wasn't the removal related to non-communication on multi-seat setups?
    Either way, i agree we should get the renaming back in.

    On a multi seat setup how do i get the colors to show up on the client machines?
    I copied the genres mapping from MediaPortal xml of the client on the tv server machine to one of other clients and ticked the boxes in MP configuration for a color EPG on the machine but i am still not getting any EPG colors.

    Did you go into configuration -> GUI -> skin settings and enable genre colouring?

    Edit: Sorry, you said you did.

    Without knowing what you copied it is hard to help you with this.

    Logs?

    Yes i'm using the default skin.

    attached are the logs from the client machine.

    When you made these logs, did you actually open the EPG? I can't see anything for that.

    You do have quite a few errors, mainly related to plugins.

    You should try to update your plugins, so that they are compatible.

    Code:
    2012-07-22 02:13:50.886375 [ERROR][MPMain(1)]: Error initializing window:IMDb.IMDb Could not load file or assembly 'MovingPictures, Version=1.2.3.1317, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. IMDb+    at IMDb.IMDb.Init()

    However, the first thing I recommend you do is a complete uninstall/reinstall on the client.

    Also, if you run 'MediaPortal Debug-Mode' from your start menu, it will grab additional information, such as your MediaPortal.xml file, which will help diagnose the problem.

    Oopps, No i didn't open the EPG, guess that might have been a good idea. :oops:

    Yes i saw that there were incompatible plugins showing in the plugins section of MP, I did uninstall all plugins with the MPEI before doing the upgrade but there must be some artifacts left from the old plugins.
    I'll try a clean instal tomorrow and let you know how it works out.

    Thanks.
