Since the latest Microsoft Guide data screw-up, I have decided to move completely over to MediaPortal, after trialling it on a secondary PC for some time. So far I'm happy with it. I have gone with MySQL for now. I notice that the tables created by MediaPortal use the MyISAM engine - are there any pitfalls to be aware of if changing this to InnoDB? I've never felt comfortable with MyISAM on a UPS-protected server, let alone a living room HTPC which could get unplugged by mistake. The main thing I wanted to check is that there aren't any features being used by MP that require MyISAM (e.g. FullText index) so I'm good to go in converting it.
