How to install MediaPortal SVN-Snapshots in short:

3. Run Configure. Sometimes the settings and database versions change from build to build, so you have to reconfigure your TV for example
4. Hopefully enjoy the new version
5. If not, restore your old files and you will have the former version back.

still the Problem with HD-Channel. Im switching from SD to HD. I hear sound, but black screen. Switching back to SD. Sound, but black screen.

So i have to turn TV off and on again to get TV-Video.

This is what i did in the debug mode. here are my logs

Are you using ATI Catalyst version later than 8.5 ?

Reason I ask is that I had problems with MP while trying to sort out Blu-ray/HD-DVD until I discovered
this thread .

This problem included black screens with most of the video decoders in MP apart from MPV. I uninstalled the latest Catalyst 8.7 and went back to 8.5 and all was well.

I notice that a lot of people having instability problems on the last MP svn-build are using ATI cards - wonder if this just coincidence ?

Thankyou MP devs!
This fixed my hybrid card problem, now i can switch between analogue and digital without it failing.

Cheers.

BBC HD still crashs mp to desktop and I can't scan any S2 channels with my floppyDTV S2.

BBC HD crash. it appears to use VMR9 even though EVR is disabled. preview and record in TVserver always works fine.

ok, i can delete power dvd8 codec or what do you mean with "powerdvd8 decode setup"?

What do you mean with dvb epg description?



@Kevin
How can i found out which version i Installed? I know I installed the latest Catalyst 2 months ago, when I got the new Mainboard. So I think I have 8.6 or so?! Before I didnt watched HD.

Ok, so I think I will download the mainboard-driver Version if it is older then 8.6 and try again, but not now

We changed a bit the way of handling S2 tps as it was too confusing as it was before.
Now if you tick the S2 checkbox, Tv-Server look for a <satellite>-S2.ini file and if found, will use it to tune S2 tps.

In my case I select 13°E Hotbird from satellite list and I tick S2 checkbox in DVB-S2 main page. This instruct TV-Server to use 13° Hotbird-S2.ini for S2 scanning, and all works like a charm.

This way you have two benefits:

1) You don't need to do two scans as before ( "13° Hotbird" + "13° HDTV Channels" )
2) During the scan you have no more some tps with nosignal due to S2 info missing

Hope this clarify how things works.
