[QUOTE="Pcgeek21, post: 869646, member: 124894"] I noticed the following line appearing in the error log whenever I attempted to start TVservice: * ERROR, OS can't be used for MediaPortal * I Googled for it and found that exact line in the source for MediaPortal. What has happened is Windows 8 is version 6.2, which falls through their OS check and deems it an OS prior to XP, hence the error message. I modified the code to support Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, and recompiled with VS2010. It works. :D I don't think it would be fit to upload the code into a stable branch in Git until MediaPortal's TV server backend is thoroughly tested on Windows 8. So for the interim, the modified code is available here: [CODE]https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5RDKKdUQy5ndUhkR0RnbUJMdFE[/CODE] All you need to do is extract the contents of the zip file into the MediaPortal installation, and the TVservice should start without any issues.
