[QUOTE="wiyosaya, post: 1198826, member: 145864"] Today, I just went through the upgrade to MP2 from 1.15. In 1.XX, I followed [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/13_Plugins/Power_Scheduler/2_Server_Configuration']these directions[/URL] to get the schedule download automatically.
