Whats the difference between the two?
is version2 a better\newer skin with not all the features supported yet?
Is it supposed to take the media portal 1's place at some future date?
Sorry for my ignorance! :)

    Hi and welcome to the forum :)

    MediaPortal2 is going to replace MP1 at some point. When is another question :)
    Right now we want to get MP1 final out, and only bugfixing is done.

    MP2 is made from scratch. It even has its own GUI engine, which will increase WAF. You can read more about MP2 in Wiki, news etc., and even try an very early tech release.

    Thanks guys I really appreciate the quick responses
    I have 3-4 half baked htpc systems (hardware and software) that Ive tried and didnt finish over the last 4 years, but I think Im finally gonna do it!
    The recent hardware is also a big help, fanless low power clients etc
    Thanks again

    The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release.

    Q1.) How do I tell what version of Media Portal 2 is installed? I installed Media Portal about a year ago and have not used it yet because of illness. Q2.) If there is a newer version, what is the best way to upgrade?

    yes that is indeed what I did in that ticket. It may already be working without updating those plugins because most of it was not relevant to the plugin itself (test, some leftover unused parts etc).

    MediaPortal 2 has much less configuration options compared to MediaPortal 1 and Kodi and as for any other modern HTPC software it can be configured in the client without usage of external tools. The surface of PlayerFab is unknown to me, but "google search" tells me it's made not for our target group. Because of that and missing...
