[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 986974, member: 82144"] Most of the TV Server settings are stored in a database, and that database continues to exist on your PC unless you do a full uninstall (I think the term is "full product cleanup"). The database is not an XML file, no. It will be a MySQL or SQL Server database, depending on what you chose when you first installed. What you can do... 1. Use the import/export section of TV Server configuration to export your channel list and groups. 2. Close TV Server configuration. 3. Edit the TV Server configuration shortcut on your desktop (right click, select properties) and add " /configure-db" after the SetupTv.exe bit in the "target" field. Click OK. 3. Start TV Server configuration. If you've edited the shortcut correctly it should be asking for DB configuration info. Something like this: [url]http://users.telenet.be/Drizla/SetupDatabaseConnection.png[/url] 4. Enter the required info. For a MySQL database (most common) default username and password is [B]root[/B] and [B]MediaPortal[/B] (case sensitive). [B]Now for the important bit: change the schema name to something other than default MpTvDb.[/B]Now click "test" and "save" once test succeeds. At this stage you should now have TV Server configuration open in front of you. There should be zero channels in your channel list if you've done everything correctly, and you should be able to go to the scanning section for all of your tuners. Now to tidy up ([B]do this before you do any scanning!!![/B]): 1. Use the import/export section of TV Server configuration to import your channels again from the XML file created in step 1. I think this also recreates your hybrid tuner groups etc. etc. etc. There are a few things it won't reconfigure, but it gets most things. 2. Re-edit the TV Server config shortcut and remove the /configure-db bit. mm [/QUOTE]
