Thats interesting. I really did persevere with W7; and with an older machine/s - like yourself, they would be dedicated MP boxes and as such I'm not bothered about security for them (within the LAN they would have zero permissions to any of the non-MP boxes).

I just kept getting all sorts of bum errors and issues with the install. I may well try and give it another go - I call myself a 'geek' so really I should be able to sort it... Hmmm

Ah ok. That could well explain a lot. I have been keeping half an eye on MP2 as I'd assumed it would only be a matter of time before it 'took over' from MP1 with Titan (perhaps it is 'familiarity' tainting my love of Titan but it is great skin lol) properly ported. Without Titan, I'd probably not make the switch. Kodi has an 'attempt' at Titan and, to give the dev his due, it is not a bad try; but is still not 'Titan' lol. And it still has the buggy Kodi underneath).

Actually no. Windows 10 still. I have avoided W11 like the Plague - am forced to use it for work (along with 2 Macs! I'm stuffed :-D) and just hate it with a passion (All my non-work stuff is on Debian and it so refreshing to have an OS that is just an OS without trying to be my best friend or a forced relationship lol).

I just find W10 is too 'pally pally', but also resource hungry - I am just running MP1 clients on it/them, nothing more.

Oh [USER=141969]@CyberSimian[/USER] I hate you lol! You are not making the split easy Okay, I'll give it a harder try - been battling TVHeadend/Kodi for over a week (Biggest area of friction with me is Kodi calling Recording Schedule's 'Timers'! What??!?! As well as having a bunch of confusing 'Timer Rules'! Smacks of 100% Dev and no Test input lol)
