[QUOTE="shelzmike, post: 1246123, member: 163101"] Hey all. I am very new (as of a couple hours) to Media Portal. Moved over from Plex (well, plan to) primarily because I refuse to pay for Plex Pass to stream TV on devices that I already own. So, forgive me if this is a dumb question. I installed MP2 server and have a client on my laptop that works well, but I wanted to be able to stream to my Android phone (Galaxy S9+). I initially tried to install the full version of MPExtended but kept getting an error stating that it couldn't find MediaPortal.exe running. I think this is because I am using MP2? May be wrong. Anyhow, I couldn't get the app to connect at all. Found this plugin as it says it works for TV streaming for Mobile. I did get further with it, MPScheduler pulls in my channel lineup and when I tap on one it goes to a "Buffering" icon that spins for about 5-7 seconds and then it goes back to my channel lineup and says 'Unable to Play'. I replaced the StreamingProfiles as suggested (I was supposed to rename the actual downloaded .xml file so that it was just StreamingProfiles.xml, correct?)
