[QUOTE="alexeix, post: 1103446, member: 11252"] Sorry for delayed reply - I don't have a lot of time at the moment, due to a new addition to the family! ...Which is really why I don't want to go through the pain of having to completely reconfigure Media Portal from scratch. After many hours spent on this issue tonight, I thought I had finally got MP working with my old set-up, but no.... Now, using the Media Portal client on my server, I can watch TV, I can see my channel names and I can see my recordings, but when I try to start the TV-Server Configuration, I get: "Failed to upgrade the database". I don't understand that, since the client seems to be able to see the data, e.g. recordings, channels, etc. I researched the error and followed instructions for "Repairing database (MySQL)", but after the repair completed, I got the same problem. I correctly ran the repair for version 5.6. Does anyone have any ideas what's next??? One BIG question which I have, is why version 1.8 was not pulled, as soon as it became known that it had this effect? I would NEVER have installed it if I had known I would have to waste hours recovering my set-up! In my opinion, this is quite a major issue. It is really disheartening to go through all this pain (not to mention unnecessary!), even if you love Media Portal. Thanks in advance for your help. [/QUOTE]
