    I have it setup so that on the drive that has the movies a shared folder and added a username the same as the client machine as I have no domain setup at home. Then on the client side, I have used unc (\\servername\sharename) connection instead of mapped drive. The advantages to this are that I can then copy the database & thumbs folder and mediaportal.xml to another client and it will work straight away with little to no reconfig.

    But others have done it other ways as well.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    I was just tinkering with a few settings in the MediaPortal configuration and am happy to have found the cause of the problem. Disabling the option "Single seat setup: force RTSP usage" under "TV/Radio", "Advanced Options" resolved the issue. After I disabled this option, I was able to delete the recordings the first time...
