Is it necessary or an advantage to set a startup delay in the Configuration setup if MP won't start until the tv server is detected

What would this delay be typically used for

Thanks

    ...if MP won't start until the tv server is detected
    Can you clarify what you mean by this? It isn't clear, at least to me.

    Is it necessary or an advantage to set a startup delay in the Configuration setup...
    If you mean that the TV service is always guaranteed to be running when you go to start MP, I would answer: it's unnecessary and a disadvantage.
    MP can wait for the TV service to start if it hasn't already started without even using that setting.

    Yes I meant all to do with MP starting and the tv server detection. I will set it to 0 and see if it helps with this https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp-1-14-0-cant-find-server.134270/#post-1194515

    I removed all sign of MySQL, rebooted, did a clean reinstall. It reinstalled 5.6, But I've still got both the same problem - unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts. And Hostname is still in red. I don't understand - this is a dedicated TV computer. Unless an update did this I don't know why there's a problem in the...

    Hi, First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with. If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected. For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos. I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...

    That fixed the problem. I just manually installed VC_redist.x64.exe and reinstalled 1.32 64-bit. Thanks for that. A couple of things; the deployment tool for 1.32 doesn't remove the previous version when you're updating from 1.31 to 1.32 and "MediaPortal TV Server" gets installed even when you choose to install the client only. I...
