[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1196050, member: 109222"] Hi. No. Maybe on some very weak machines the SQL server needed for MP1 is eating too much resources. In such rare circumstances MP2 can be the better performer. But in general there is no difference. You can not compare that at all as both have totally different set of functions. They are completely different programs. If you only install the main program then MP2 has much, much more functionality as it has in-build support for TV series, weather, fanart, online videos,... and MP1 is missing all this without community plugins installed separately. On the other side MP1 has two home screens where MP2 did not even have one, at least with the pre-installed skin. The default MP2 skin Blue Vision is completely without a home screen as you may know it from MP1 or Kodi. Other skins like the WMC lookalike skin can provide a "classic" home screen. This completely depends on the person who has done the skin. Also not that easy to tell as this also depends too much on the users hardware. As example I never got the MySQL server reliable on any of my systems so I often had failures with MP1 TV. Now with MP2 there is no MySQL (or SQLExpress, did not made any difference, also never reliable) and I didn't had a single failure in TV or scheduled recordings for years... Others are not happy with the reliability of MP2 and prefer MP1 instead. You need to test this for yourself, nobody else can do this for you. You can transfer the TV settings with the in-build import/export function of the TV configuration. You can transfer at least your movie settings by exporting them to .nfo files. Sadly TVSeries did not support those .nfo files at all (MP2 does of course) And you can export your "watched flags" from TV Series (in-build) Moving Pictures, MyVideos and MyFilms with a tool I've written some time ago as I needed such. And all those watched flags you can import into the MP2 media library with the same tool. So only if you have customized settings (description,...) in your series collection, they are lost.
