MediaPortal SVN-Snapshot: 11-07-2007 00-59h - Revision:16460

[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 RC3, 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

This may not be the place to report but I changed from RC2 to RC3 a week ago and all turned pear shape. The DVB guide stopped working with no information displayed, the channel sorting in MP configuration went very slow like 10 seconds to respond to shift up or down and I found that the Channelinfo.xml or backups ended up in Start\Programs\Mediaportal where the start icons are stored rather than in the Team Mediaportal\MediaPortal folder. For these reasons I have abandoned RC3 and will re-install RC2 this weekend. Any ideas?

There are various threads about sluggish performance & other database problems with RC3 - including the slow channel sorting you describe, but so far they haven't been acknowledged as a bug. e.g.
