Since 2.5 is out, Windows Defender won't let me install it.
Is it only me?
Shouldn't it have been solved by now?
Should I have installed something else?
Thank you

    I don't use MP2, and I don't know what the problem might be. All that I can say is that development work on MP2 has come to a halt, and no one knows if or when development might restart. Therefore if you want to use MP2, you must use it as it is now, not as you might want it to be in the future.

    Should I have installed something else?
    MP1 is a separate product, and is still being developed. It is also the product that I use. If you want to try MP1, you should uninstall MP2 first and then reboot, before installing MP1.

    This pops up any time you try to install an app that windows doesn't recognize. If it was a virus it would say it was a virus,
    Well MP2 is certainly not a virus and I get the same also with MP 1. If you click on the "More Info" in that screen it should bring up another screen with the option to install anyway, click on that, see screenshot below and you should be all good.

    Oh... one would have expected the other way. Why that one? Just curious.
    At some point in the past, the MP development team had a difference of opinion with regard to the way that the product should evolve, and so (like Open Office and Libre Office) the development team split into two groups, with developers choosing to work on one product or the other, but not both.

    It happens that the number of active MP2 developers has decreased more rapidly than the number of active MP1 developers, with the result that the number of active MP2 developers is now zero, whereas the number of active MP1 developers is still greater than zero. Of course, things can always change in the future.

    Well just tried that. Chose TV Channels and clicked "Clear". All channels cleared then did a rescan. What a shitshow!

    You need to check the wiki for TVMosaic, you have recordings as source available once TVM is installed. And of course images and music are part of the NET6 version as for NET4. If you have issues with it further infos would be good.

    Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
