Hello Ross
I am not familiar with mp2 myself but what I can say is that it is not a update to older mp1 versions.
It rather is the successor of mp1. Therefore I suggest to read the wiki guide.

Regards

Rico

MP1.12 and MP2 are different software. You can not upgrade.

You can install MP1 and MP2 in parallel.
But you must stop all MP1 services before you run the MP2 setup program.
If you run into difficulties with MP2, you can stop all MP2 services and start the MP1 services again.
By this you can come back to MP2 later on.

Sorry to parachute in on your thread but I have a related question. I am running a 1.12 backend (with mostly Kodi front end devices) and want to know about whether i should consider migrating to MP2 - is there a good place to check this out?
The wiki seems suggests that MP2 is still in alpha which would rule it out for me but I was under the impression its more mature than that.
If there is no compelling addiitonal functionality or improvements the n I will stay with 1.12 - could anyone suggest where I go to answer my questions?

I guess really what I am looking for is a "Should I upgrade to MP2" wiki or thread - its probably out there and I haven't found it yet.....

Cheers!

I just wanted to add a +1 to this question. I was going through the wiki and related FAQ pages and I have the exact same question. I'm not sure what the status of MP2 is at this point based on what I could find. Is it considered fully 'stable' and no longer an alpha OR beta application?

Are users being encouraged to start migrating away from MP1 at this point or have we not yet hit that tipping point yet? I kind of want to be on the 'newest latest best' product but I'm not exactly looking forward to resetting everything up from scratch in terms of episode/movie etc. matching and fixing of all metadata etc. that won't automatically work right given that there is no database import or upgrade process.

Will there ever be a DB importer for say TVSeries/MovingPictures to help MP1 users 'upgrade' to 2.0 or is that up to plugin devs to help with?

Thanks again for all your great work MP devs!
