Set-up and Configuring Media Center Master for First Run

Installation Notes - read before installing.

For users who have installed Media Center Master previously, and are having problems. It is suggested to do a Complete Uninstall of Media Center Master, also deleting the registry entries and the hidden user files, then reinstall with these guides.

The changes shown in this guide will optimize Media Center Master for a quick first time run, and complete the integrating of Media Center Master with utorrent.

The first changes to the time frames for automation will prevent Media Center Master from running automated processes during the configuration set-up. Later in the guide, a second change to the time frames will start the first run with a minimum processing of data. Not enabling "Allow torrents with archived files," removes any possible issues related to archived files. Not selecting a video standard, and enabling the remaining "Allow torrents with ..."; allows Media Center Master to fetch any .torrent file for a TV episode that otherwise would be missed. Only adding one (1) TV Series to the collection, and back dating the calender for one (1) month; incorporates the consideration of holidays, and/or other minor breaks in a TV Series Season for downloading just a few recent TV Series Episodes, verses several.

The settings used for integration are for a single computer set-up (Media Center Master and uTorrent installed on same computer)

Customized "User Settings" should be made after a successful first run. Take time and double check the steps which have multiple changes before continuing to the next step.
