[QUOTE="iancalderban, post: 366095, member: 85629"] I know it doesn't help now but just my experience/recommendation after 1 month as an MP user. when you have a config of your system (MP, other apps, codecs, etc) that you are happy with - take a backup image of your system + mp partition. keep stuff you want to survive a rebuild like recorded tv files and your other media/content on another partition . When you add something new and you are happy with that being stable again (and losing the new thing would be a pain) TAKE ANOTHER IMAGE. there are many times when MP has got into the "will not start" state for me and I have no clue why. I haven't even done anything (nothing changed - just watched some TV). I cannot see anything in logs. so I restore from backup and in about 30 mins I am operational again. I had one today in fact. faster than trying to debug such a complex piece of s/w. Ian [/QUOTE]
