[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 777919, member: 75318"] Hi Danniboy, You are correct, but this is because MP is very flexible with the options it offers. You are not on your own, I was a little confused when I first started using it a couple of years back. What may help is considering it as two parts, one part is the TV Server with the second part being MP itself. Once you have setup the TV server element that is pretty much it - it is absolutely rock solid. MP needs setting up with folders for videos, pictures and music but that isn't difficult. It certainly isn't "install and go"... but by getting stuck in with it you will find that the beauty of the system is its flexibility and some superb plugins & skins. I now use it full time TV viewing in the living room (47" LCD and Sony surround system) and have two clients in the bedroom and kitchen running from the main unit in the living room. Even the GF uses it now without fuss. When I have friends around they always say "hey, how do you get YouTube on your TV?" and/or "How do you get BBC iPlayer on your TV?" Even my gadget fuelled neighbour with his Sky+ HD multiroom and Apple TV is envious. Persevere and you'll reap the benefits. HTH, M. [/QUOTE]
