    I re-installed the TV server the other day to play about with the TV Groups and manual control issues. In doing this I seem to have taken several steps backwards in terms of reliability (damn why did I re-install...)

    I am now getting lots of "unable to start graph" errors on TV which I had a while ago but I am fairly sure I resolved somehow. I have some backups but I don't really want o restore the whole system and would rather look at the differences between the settings I have now and those I had previously. The main app settings are in MediaPortal.xml but I can not find the TV details. Are these in the database or is there an xml file I can look at?

    Foudn the answer... it is in the database. Took me a while to clone the database to see the old values though. If anyone else did want to do this, I put copies of
    MpTvDb.mdf
    MpTvDb_log.LDF
    files from back to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data
    (I called them xyz2)

    with a different name. In SQL Server management studio express I ran a script
    Code:
    USE [master]
    GO
    CREATE DATABASE [xyz2] ON 
    ( FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\xyz2.mdf' ),
    ( FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\xyz2_log.ldf' )
     FOR ATTACH
    GO
    Then I attached database and could view as necessary
