Had a shot at upgrading to Windows 8.1 again and MediaPortal still refused to work. However I managed to fix it by extracting the 1.5.0 Pre Release installer (this was already installed on Windows 8). And then running the two separate installers again from the deploy folder. Everything is now working as previously.

Upgraded to 8.1 and mediaportal 1.5.0 final (october release) worked fine for weeks. Then all of a sudden after some windows update i didn't start. Tried to reinstall without success. Any way to downgrade windows to 8.0 ?

To the best of my knowledge yes, though I may have some components that I didn't load in to windows 8.1. I only loaded the minimum it would let me load at install of 8.1 and have installed no extra features in to 8.1. AKA tried to keep it as unbloated as possible.

you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.

I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...
