[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 1032148, member: 17886"] Hi breese, I would not recommend to put data and executables into the same directory. This is not intended by MP2 nor by Windows itself. There should always be a certain distinction between data and executables. Usually executables are somwhere under "C:\Program Files (x86)" and data is somwhere under "C:\ProgramData". Your path.xml for MP2 Server now looks like: <Path value="F:\Applications\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server" name="DATA"/> <Path value="<DATA>\Config" name="CONFIG"/> <Path value="<DATA>\Log" name="LOG"/> <Path value="<DATA>\Plugins" name="PLUGINS"/> <Path value="<DATA>" name="DATABASE"/> This means that MP2 Server looks for its plugins under "F:\Applications\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Plugins". I assume that you also installed the main executables of MP2 Server to F:\Applications\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server. Because this is also your data directory, you effectively mix up data with executables. Nevertheless, I am not sure why you think there is an error. Didn't you say that you made a backup of your 3GB database file? Is this database file now in F:\Applications\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server? If so, all your data is already in the database - no need for an import anymore. But maybe I'm getting you wrong there... [/QUOTE]
