[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

Hi guys!
Almost there!
I had some little issues with this latest svn. I don't know if these issues were there before this svn, because this is the first time I gave the tv section of MP a thorough examination.

Here goes:
1- When I resolve a recording conflict, I get a blank (blue) screen with "0 conflicts" showing. The arrows buttons on your RC have no effect at this point as there are no buttons displaying. "Back" on your remote works though.

2- When I want to display the info of a scheduled recording, the infotext shows up in the middle of the screen, right over a button. I think it's the "keep until" button if I remember correctly.

3- The wrong info is showing at "scheduled recordings" when there is more than one planned recording of a particular show scheduled (so that a map is showing instead of the channellogo). ...I think it shows info of a past show. When you enter the folder, the planned recordings and their info are correct.

4- The programinfo beneath the tv-window at "live tv" is wrong. It shows info of other shows (at that channel) at other times. ...But sometimes the info is correct though!

5- With the Recording priorities screen, the up and down arrows disappear when an item is highlighted. They keep working though.

I'll also post this in the bugsection.
