I'm using the latest media portal version with the MPI installed tvseries, I have ticked the box to auto update, but new shows are not showing up without restarting media portal.

I could be wrong but it may only check for new shows every so many hours.

HTH,

How many hours? is there a way I can decrease that time?

The tv shows are stored on a network share on a vista machine, i'm accessing it via wifi if that makes any difference.

I've turned on the "download information for whole series". Will see if that makes any difference.

    Once MP (and with it the plugin) is running, it is listening for new/deleted files constantly (via filesystem events), there should be almost zero delay (a couple of seconds due to it trying to "buffereing" multiple new files, but other than that...) when picking up new shows. Of course then it has to download meta-data for them, which could take another few seconds. This of course only works for files named in a parsable format.

    You do mean, new files in your shares, right?

    Please post logs of MP running, and you copying a new file (that is parsable) into one of your shares.

    Thank you for this tip! I'm moving MP TV Server to a new machine. I installed the 64-bit version and most of the MP firewall rules were set to Public. I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    Got a reply from SD ... "Looks like your last successful download was on 5/23. On 5/24 for some reason we received 194 connections between 10:54 and 11:05 triggering a denial of service attack ban. The logs show it was lifted on 5/25, but I still see the entry in iptables. I reset fail2ban and hopefully you're working again." Weird...
