MediaPortal TV Server Quick Start Guide
- Download MediaPortal 1.2 from http://www.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-download
- Install the MediaPortal TV Server (installation of MediaPortal itself is not needed, but can be useful for debugging purposes)
- Configure your TV Server following the MediaPortal TV Server Quick setup guide. Detailed TV Server configuration documentation can be found here.
- Download the TVServerXBMC plugin from the TVServerXBMC website (margro)
- Extract the TVServerXBMC.rar file and copy the TVServerXBMC.dll to the plugins directory of your MediaPortal TV-Server installation (typically: C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\Plugins or C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\Plugins).
- Open the "TV-Server Configuration" and enable the TVServerXBMC plugin under "Plugins".
- Configure the TVServerXBMC plugin. Add network shares for your Timeshift and Recordings folder if you want to use Kodi PVR on a different PC than your MediaPortal TV Server PC.
- Restart the TV-Server: Press under "Manual Control" the "Stop Service" button, wait a few seconds and press then the "Start Service" button (same button).

Depending on your EPG source, MediaPortal may return strings in your local language. In this case, you can skip the genre translation using this option. The addon translates only English genre strings to Kodi genre id's. You can extend the translation table by extending the following PVR addon file: pvr.mediaportal.tvserver\resources\genre_translation.xml
