[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1264273, member: 18896"] Simply upgrade to MediaPortal 1.21 and you can use the latest MP-TVSeries without any issues while temporarily avoiding the major MediaPortal upgrades from "Regeszter Edition" and such. That's what I use and I'm in no hurry to upgrade MediaPortal as nothing in the changelogs impacts my usage. Major changes took place around 1.15 if memory serves me, so because you are under it, then you are screwed. If you are unable to get 1.21 to work, then just start with a fresh database import. PS: Newer versions of MediaPortal are incorrectly flagged by Windows Defender and take up aggressive scanning. This is not visible in the task-manager, because it is such a low-level process that there isn't enough time to update the GUI. Set the MediaPortal folder, and process to exclude and you'll see that playback is back perfect without any stuttering. This is not a false-positive on identifying because Windows Defender or other AV solutions will not mark MediaPortal as having a virus, but they consume a lot of resources before they figure out it is safe. Granted the system I discovered this on was a slow quad-thread with 16GB of memory and running on a measly 550MB/s SSD, but it brought it to a complete halt.
