[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1066320, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome :) That is a looong post - I couldn't possibly hope to answer all of it, but I'll try to tackle some of the TV related aspects. TV Server has to be on the HTPC with the Colossus. It can use a remote MySQL database (ie. the database on the app server) if you want... or you could have MySQL for TV Server on the HTPC. Really up to you. MediaPortal 1 uses SQLite and doesn't natively support shared databases. There is a plugin called [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/plugin-mpsync-mediaportal-multi-seat-synchronization.117417/']MP Sync[/URL] that effectively shares databases by shuffling files. MediaPortal 2 does use a shared database. Effectively unless you're using MP2, TV Server is the only component that could use the MySQL database on your app server. [COLOR=#ffa64d] [COLOR=#000000]Yeah, as above. MediaPortal 1 would require MP Sync. MP 2 does it out of the box... but is still in "alpha".[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffa64d] [COLOR=#000000]I think you're pretty much on the money. MP-TVSeries for TV shows; My Films or MovingPictures or My Videos (built in) for movies; MyAnime for anime[/COLOR].[/COLOR] Depends how you want to use it. If you're configuring it simply to receive input from an external video source (presumably a set top box of some kind) then it is pretty trivial; if you want the works - ie.

Yes, you can use SD with the SD plugin: [url]https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/television/schedulesdirect-guide-importer[/url] ...or if you have an XMLTV source (eg. from mc2xml) then that will be fine with the built-in XMLTV plugin: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/13_Plugins/XmlTv[/url] If setting up your Colossus to do "the works" then the SD plugin can assist to pull in your initial lineup... then switch to the XMLTV plugin for EPG if you want. mm [/QUOTE]
