[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 978543, member: 103549"] May well not what you did, but who you did it as:-> To check permissions, cd into c:/ProgramData/Team MediaPortal and right click on the MediaPortal DIR (as need to check directory & file), and then Properties at bottom of menu. In Properties tab, see Security, click that and then Advanced. The display you get will be similar to that below - NOTE, here I've grouped both FILE & DIR details, the FILE data is top, DIR bottom, with the basic data on left & advanced data on right. [ATTACH=full]124806[/ATTACH] On my system main , MePo runs as the PLAYER ID, but I manage service under the PW ID. Both Id's are administrators (this is NOT good security practice but pragmatic given system ownership, access & usage), and as you see, Administrators have Full Control over File & Directory. So, the account that MePo runs under needs to have Modifiy rights to file and possibly (always confuses me) Full Control at directory level, although Modify should be enough OR operate as Admin user. Hopefully that helps. Cheers - JCMP PS - You may note that my MediaPortal dir is on D: and not C: as listed above - I have a link in C:/ProgramData to D:/Team MediaPortal for space considerations on my dev/test box.
