Hi all,
I've been testing MediaPortal for the last few months, to decide whether it would be worth my investment to build a dedicated HTPC for running MP software. I decided it is, and I am starting the process of building a new box. However, I've spent many hours customizing my configuration and I would hate to lose it when I move to the new box.
Is there any way of transferring my configuration over? I rely heavily on the MP-TVSeries and MyFilms plugins, and I would like to keep the databases behind them. I also have a number of recordings scheduled that I would like to keep. Beyond that, there are also many other settings that I've tweaked that I would like to keep.
Would it work just fine if I were to install 0.2.3.0 and copy over the MP folder from the old PC? Would that retain my plugins and their associated databases? Is there perhaps a better way of copying everything over?
