The only dongle.bin tested is the one on hauppuage website (the current
release version), there's a link on my website - I've found this 100%
reliable so far - but haven't got around to leaving an mvp on overnight yey

I'll look into this

Can you look at something that's not showing and see what's different about
it please?

E.g. jukebox only considers something an album if there are > 4(?)
tracks

That's odd, are you sure you installed the main update prior to the mvp
install please?

If you'd like to zip up your xplmedianet.xml, mvp loader.xml, and
video/pictures loaders I'll take a look

At what point is this happening please? Main screen, or in menu's etc?

Will investigate this

It's totally different now, so shouldn't get any duplicates

Strange, I haven't seen it go over 2% on a video (not sure I've checked
music). Is this video or music?

Thanks for the feedback

Am working today, but will investigate some of this when I later today or
tomorrow
