[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 925525, member: 82144"] It is true that we do rely heavily on the network. It is a balance. On one hand it makes it easier to support multi-seat. On the other hand it potentially makes the single seat more fragile. Yes, this does happen. :( MySQL should be set as a dependency of the TV service, which means the TV service should wait for MySQL to start before attempting to start. This is configured automatically when MP installs MySQL, but *not* if you installed your own MySQL or SQL Server. Strange. This is an area that we do need to improve. The issue is that a lot of the communication with the server is synchronous. Changing to asynchronous is reasonably straightforward in principle but timeconsuming to do in practice. This does not have to be the case: you can untick the "wait for TV Server to start" setting. If the setting is disabled in MP configuration (which it sometimes is), you can "hack" the setting in MediaPortal.xml. Not that that is a solution. I'm just saying you don't have to put up with that. mm [/QUOTE]
