    ....just one more thing....possibly daft....but here goes :

    I now have a 4gb Ramdisk which is used by MP ! :) .....plus 4gb ram. (8gb in total)
    When MP is NOT running.....does the Ramdisk effectively 'disappear'....or does it's presence impinge on the rest of my system, and affect (or is it effect?) memory availability....?? (Ramdisk isn't used by any other program!!)

    Hi,

    this is a permanent RamDisk independent from any other software, so it stays around as long as you do not end its service.

    Cheers

    Hi.
    ImDisk is allocating the RAM when needed, not earlier. So in general you can create a relatively big RAM Disk without issues. I'm using 5 GB (out of 8 GB total) for my RAM Disk, but normally I have all RAM available for system. Only when I'm using timeshift the RAM really is used and no longer available for anything else. Once RAM is used for the RAM Disk it stays used until Windows restarts. This is a Windows limitation and can not be solved by the tool. One of the many, many reasons why I'm restarting my system on a daily base...

    That fixed the problem. I just manually installed VC_redist.x64.exe and reinstalled 1.32 64-bit. Thanks for that. A couple of things; the deployment tool for 1.32 doesn't remove the previous version when you're updating from 1.31 to 1.32 and "MediaPortal TV Server" gets installed even when you choose to install the client only.

Approx 50% of the time on PC reboot from scratch the tv server process was showing "starting" but would never start and consequently neither would MP or MP Server Config...

    Hi, First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with. If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected. For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos. I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...

    I'm not sure what the issue was, but I decided to try a different way of solving the problem. My server has a 2.5Gbps port and the 10Gbps card I added, so I've connected the HD Homerun directly to the 2.5G port, and its solved the problem, I can now copy large multiple files to the server and not suffer with picture issues. There is...
