Thanks for the reply.
Both options still requires a connection to the internet. Just to download a small file "ApplicationLocation.xml" (and that file is not downloadable through web browser). Which is totally unneccessary if we already have the requirements installed.
Why is it a design choice to have Mediaportal "call home" just to download this little file, instead having it in a neat installation file with offline-installation option (and let users decide whether to download the requirement files on their own or automatically) ?
The older version Mediaportal 0.2.3 could be installed offline. |
