[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 970220, member: 103549"] Ok, good luck on rebuild and would suggest Win 7 - most people on Forum seems to agree, 1.3RC is perfectly at home on 7. Setup - when you've reinstalled, in Config in General Tab, select log Verbosity to Debug. I'm assuming you have selected 'expert mode' for config - to be honest, I think that's 'must have' mode, day to day:-) Your video layout, yep, very much the same as mine and many others, so no problems expected there* Using //NAS/Public/Movies as 'mount' is fine - it's just a bunch of subdirectories anyway (my Adventure folder has 100+ .avi etc etc + 10 folders for film series (007 from Bond, etc etc). Ordering & layout you can address later, both Films & TV Series (if you have any), let's get them listed 1st:-) In the Config, in Videos tab, expand the selection and you'll find extensions config - it's just a list, from examples above you should already have them all in place, but worth a check - just in case, do same check in Music, just in case you. In Video Folders section, set default layout to LIST for each folder, do same in Music when you config it. Now, from Win 7 Start, select Team MediaPortal from all progs, open the Mediaportal tab and select Media-PortalDEbug mode - this will dump logs. In operation, when you select Videos, you'll see list of folders or shares, dip into one and hopefully you will now see list of films - if not, make a note of what you do see - try same with Music. Fingers crossed, your clean build and suggestions above will move you on, if not, post logs and notes. TTFN - JCMP. *MePo will run under a specific user ID (I've created 'player' ID for mine) - does that ID have relevant access rights to directory structure and files on the NAS (sort of silly thing that trips people [me] up).
