[MediaPortal-Bot]

Infos:
These Subversion-snaps are compiled at about 01.00h (CET).
You can also visit the official irc-channel (#mediaportal) to get a notice when its ready for download. The trigger !svn gives you the latest update too.
They are not pre-tested, so please use the backup option from time to time.
If you'd like the bleeding edge code and don't mind the inherent risks, upgrade to the snapshot releases as they become available.
If stability is important to you, you might want to stay with the fully-tested releases.

How to install MediaPortal SVN-Snapshots in short:
1) Install MediaPortal 0.2.3.0, not necessary if already done
2) install .NET Framework Version 2.0
3) Run the Snapshot-Installer. You should create a backup.
4) Run Configure. Sometimes the settings and database versions change from build to build, so you have to reconfigure your TV for example
5) Hopefully enjoy the new version
6) If not, restore your old files and you will have the former version back.

Important notice: The backup function wont work for Vista atm, here you need to save your configuration manually. A rewrite is planned but will take some more time for testing.

You can find more infos on SVN-snaps and how to install them in this Wiki-guide

With this snapshot...

My MCE remote is randomly ignored well into watching a TV program. At times it is the channel buttons, other times the navigation buttons, or the enter (OK) button, or the Back button. It is never the same at any given time. (I'm Using the Replacement MCE plugin). Would the logs detect this... even after running for an hour or two before it occurs?

The TV starts on entering myTV the first time, even with configs set to off, then a "Recorder busy" message when selecting TV Off. Sometimes behavior returns to normal afterwards, sometimes it becomes unresponsive.

I've tried several (4:3) skins with the same results. It was all working up to this snapshot... well the TV Start issue started 2 snapshots ago, just waited to see if anyone else had similar bumps.

I'm scratching my head on this one. MP needs to work for at least 2 hours tonight so I can record my Wife's shows.

Hello, sorry for my bad English. (Babel )
In the version 18080 is a new TVSearch function inserted.
Unfortunately does not function with me.
The new TV-Search only in the TV-Server supported?
In that Stand-Alone MP does not function it with me.

Thanks for the answer.
