Media Center Master Version 1.33 should be used with this guide.

This guide is for users having experience with Usenet downloads and media collections. It provides a basic set-up configuration for downloading Movies and TV Series Episodes with the associated meta-data for each.  It does not include information for setting up an existing collection for fetching meta-data.

A detailed set of guides is available for downloading with torrents.  It starts with the [[Preliminary_Installation_Guides|Preliminary Installation Guides]] and finishes with [[How_to_Interpret_the_First_Run|How to Interpret the First Run]].  It includes images, details about the steps,  information about how the processing of fetching meta-data, downloads, and automation works, as related to the installation.  It is designed for a specific task of downloading a few episodes at a specific time for a known result to be used for testing the user's configuration and settings. 

The settings used in this guide and the detailed guides are not designed to be used as a real life, real time, configuration.  These guides are intended to get an installation of Media Center Master functional so the settings can then be customized by the user.  Jumping between the two guides (attempting to shorten the length of the other guide) to customize a user set-up may not produce the results the user is wishing to accomplish.  

The three (3) wiki guides use a different presentation for a configuration setup than what is listed in the forums (Support>[http://forums.mediacentermaster.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2629 (Guide) MCM & µTorrent integration]).  Do not attempt to jump between the the wiki guides and the forum guides to solve a problem.

All four (4) guides work.  Once you have chosen a guide stick with the one guide to avoid problems.

Should a user have issues with these guides, support is available through the forum.  How to access logs, support information file, and other information is listed at the end of this guide.  Please send any related material, what guide was used, step number, portion of log file, support information, screen captures... along with a detailed description of the problem in you topic.
