[QUOTE="Griffo, post: 411965, member: 90618"] Hey guys, hope someone can help me. Having some issues re-installing Mp 1.0.1. Background: I have a single seat TV Server / Client install. Last night, i decided to watch some youtube clips during the Ad breaks on live TV. I watched the clips, only to return to MP to discover it playing up, freezing etc. So i decided to reboot. Upon reboot, MP would crash on startup. The logs indicated that mediaportal.exe.config was missing some entries. On opening the file, it was blank. My Actions: I decided that i should be able to re-install the 'client' component of Mediaportal, as the DB stores all the TV server / video / music info right? I expected a certain amount of re-config was needed, but the really tiresome parts would be Ok. So i went to control panel and selected to uninstall the "Mediaportal" app, while leaveing the TV Server / Client installed. The uninstall dialogue stated that "the mediaportal client will be uninstalled, while leaving the users files" which i thought confirmed my guess. I then rebooted, and re-ran the 1.0.1 installer. I chose the "Advanced Install" option, and Selected the "MP LAN Client" option, thinking that i could point it back to the same machine and it would be the same. The install went fine, but on opeing the Mp Config app i noticed that a) The TV config was a "standalone" install which wanted me to config tuner cards etc. b) All the movie / music config was gone, so it was like it hadn't used the exisiting database? So I uninstalled it again, and re-ran the installer. This time, i chose "one click" install. The installer recognised that everything was installed except for the MP core, and the install completed in about 1 min. Once again, there was no TV client, and all info was like a blank install. So. a) How do i install just hte MP Client and get it to install the TV Client and point it back to the existing install b) How do i rescue the movie / music info in the existing DB?
