[QUOTE="technoweary, post: 1217985, member: 153083"] Hi everyone My good old MP1 setup requires constant reboots and will not use alternative codecs anymore, (plus I would like to use my Amazon Prime subscription within MP) so I wondered if switching to MP2 was the way to go I enquired on the forum to see if anyone has got Amazon Prime working on MP2 but getting no reply I decided to build a new standalone and "give it a go" with MP2 before trashing my MP1 system. The install went smoothly as far as I could see but I am running into problems with the media sources All my stuff on MP1 is on "Drive D:" shared over network with media folders Movie / Video / Recorded TV / Music /Music Video / Pictures Nothing unusual here I think so I set up the test system the same way Problem I am having is that MP2 cannot access any of the test media copied into the folders I configured the sources like my MP1 and refered to the MP2 Installation manual by Lehmden It seemed fairly intuative, other than doing it on the GUI rather than a config dialogue like MP, but I find myself stuck On the MP2 GUI I get thumbnails of the video sample stuff in the media folders Nothing shows in the Music or Picture folders, but I do get pop-up details of the music or pictures if I hover a mouse about below the GUI icon If I select a movie to play the GUI locks with 'Fullscreen video' title showing and I have to do a hard reset to continue Must admit I am having trouble getting my head around how to use "Video" versus "Serial" for videos, so I selected both in the sources config for the Video media source folder Any suggestions or links to other "How To's" would be much appreciated Regards TW [/QUOTE]
