Important:
For those of our users that experience the date/time bug which causes analog tv to stop working:

[succo]

it's still crashing on scan in tvserver with any of flydvb trio bda, skystar2 bda and skystar2 wdm, tried on different machines, scanning hotbird 13.0 dvb-s

Hi,
succo & the crash/error message says(maybe attach logs & system specs to your post for reference or bug tracing)?

Regards
Roy

[mironicus]

Same as in last snapshot: Mediaportal is still not in focus after starting (fullscreen).

[ronilse]

Hi,
mironicus, & what OS do you use(no system specs in your post) since this it's not working?

Regards
Roy

[mironicus]

Vista x64. I reported about this issue (and other users too) in the last snapshot thread (side 5).

After installing the snapshot and starting Mediaportal the main screen is not in focus (so MP won't react to the remote signals). After pressing "Home" on my MCE remote it is in focus again. This bug maybe caused by the "Splashscreen becomes windowed with "Not Responding" Message" - fix.

If you have selected "Always on top" in Configuration then its fine. However I don't want to use this feature (bad sideeffects in Vista - going back to Desktop for a second if you load a video or starting a visualization in MyMusic).

The error reported here:
Random channel scan crashes and missing channels...
Still exists in this build! Post has been updated with fresh logs!

Best Regards

Same problem here, After starting MP I can see the task bar.. I think is after the change "mediaportal startup screen show "no responce" "Fixed splash screen occasionally displays "not responding" on Vista" build 18886

only way to fix is yo use "MpFocus"...

I'm using windows Vista

Iosu
I HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM...
IN SPLASHSCREEN.CS ON LINE 108 YOU HAVE TO RENAME //Application.DoEvents();.. THIS WAS INTRODUCED ON BUILD 18886

Note:
No logs because I have check them and there is no error..

Hi

There is still several bugs.
I reported long time ago that svn 18530 is the last working for scanning dvb-c.
Still the same problem.

It is not possible to right click and edit a channel if it is first or last in the list in "TV Channels".
It works only in the original "channel" tab, not the one you make by yourself in "TV Groups".

If you record a program and want to watch it before it it is finnished it will not start. Worked erlier but I don't know when. It works in 18530. It seems to work if I try just after recording begins, but if I wait a while it will not work.

When using a mouse to control the TV channel groups the small arrows just move away from focus. Nearly impossible to hit them.

If I make an export of all my channels it will be saved in the tvserver folder as export.xml. If I then shose to update my tvserver to next svn I will be adviced to uninstall the erlier version. OK, I do that and all files in the tvserver folder deletes, INCLUDING the export.xml
Please fix this.

But keep on rocking, this program can be very good in a while.
