[QUOTE="ErickTreetops, post: 1136652, member: 152481"] Ok so i decided to come across from Plex to MP this weekend on my newly built HTPC Win8.1, 64 bit. Firstly I wan to thank all the people who have supported me here. I didn't think it would be this hard or take this long to get it up and running. As of Sunday night here is my status TV . Able to watch and record TV. All dual tuner functions appear to be working. The function to color the tv programs by Genre doesn't work. When i switch my TV/HTPC off by the remote power button the HTPC is set to go to sleep On startup/resume the TV does not return to the same channel but only returns to the EPG. If I use the MP internal exit control to shut it down or restart i am return to the same TV channel Video (on external HD) Although I have set my video folder on the MP config tool there are no video files when i go through the Video option in MP home screen. The internal MP settings tab, which i think is just an internal way of configuring the same values shows that the folder for my videos is not set. The scan of my videos for Fanart which i did through the config tool took about an hour. Most titles did not match. I performed this 3 times. TV Series (on external HD) I installed the MP tv series plug in to help sort my TV shows. Looked promising and took a while to find most of the information in the TV database. ON entering MP and the "TV Series " tab I found it completely empty. On top of this I had the "blue screen of death" 3 times. Windows event logs show Media Portal.exe to have caused the crashes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MP about 6 times so far under various uninstall options. I"m committed to have MP as my HTPC media software but why does it have to be so hard to setup. If any one can point me in the right direction to resolve my remaining issues i would be very thankful. Erick [/QUOTE]
