Sometimes the installer reports the error....

URL reservation failed

The MPCC process plugin is what iPiMP uses to communicate with your MediaPortal clients. It listens on 2 ports, one for TCP communications and one for HTTP communications. By default the TCP port is set to 55667 and the HTTP port is 55668 (TCP port + 1). There is a requirement to reserve HTTP endpoints on some versions of windows, the iPiMP installer tries to do this for you, reserving the MPCC url on the default HTTP port of 55668. If this fails then after the installer completes run this command:

Code:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://*:55668/mpcc sddl=D:(A;;GX;;;WD)

Also, if you change the MPCC port you will also have to change this URL reservation. To do that run the following commands:

Code:
netsh http delete urlacl url=http://*:55668/mpcc

Code:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://*:<new http port>/mpcc sddl=D:(A;;GX;;;WD)

EDIT
On Windows XP (and Server 2003) you'll need to use HTTPCFG.EXE, which is available in the Windows XP Support Tools.

The command would be:

Code:
httpcfg.exe set urlacl /u http://*:55668/mpcc /a "D:(A;;GX;;;WD)"

You get a MediaPortal crash when going into NowPlaying, this can be due to an older version of FanArt handler plugin.

To resolve, update your MPCC plugin using this MPEI installer.
