[News] MediaPortal 1.33 Pre-Release with new x64 version ready for testing (2 Viewers)

[2BitSculptor]

If I remember correctly, there was certain issue in 1.32 while uninstalling the TV Server.
If the DeployTool can't find the TV server uninstall execution file, then the DeployTool deletes the TV server section in the uninstall registry - and this failed because of a bug in the code.

I have dedicated clients and a dedicated TVServer. Shouldn't have had a problem regarding TVServer. Could it be an issue with client as well?

Yes. The function which deletes the registry section is common for both MediaPortal and Tv Server.

How do I go about fixing my registry so it behaves correctly, So I can install MP? (I know, it's a big ask)

Did you try to install MP 1.33 PreRelease?

mp x64 1.33 unpacts but installation window does not open ... nothing happens.

Same problem for me on my HTPC after attempting to update and failing so I ran the Registry trick and now now latest build of 1.33 x64 unpacks but does not start!

That's what started it all. 1.33 PreRelease wouldn't open the Deploy Tool after the files unpacked. I already had 1.32 PreRelease installed and working perfectly (for my needs). Now, after all the testing to get error messages, 1.32 Pre doesn't install anymore (stops during deploy with the can not register key error)

(here are the errors in Event Viewer)

Many thanks. I'm surprised, that I didn't catch this bug when testing this function.
Please, can you test the current installer from this post (based on latest test branch)?

The initial install seems to have been successful, with no errors. I was able to run Config and find the tvserver. I am adding back in my plugins and ProgramData from one of the previously working 1.33 x64 PreRelease clients before I run MP.

Thank you.

Looks Like ....

found an issue with x64 TV Server and the Schedules Direct plugin. When I installed TV Server 1.33 x64 pre over my 1.32 x 86 TV Server, I had two weeks of guide already scheduled. Now that 2 weeks is up, I realized TV Server was not refreshing SD to keep the TV Guide updated. I had to install 1.33 x86 TV Service to get my SD refresh to refill my Guide.

MP TV Server 1.33 x86 pre is working with Schedules Direct, and showing 2 weeks of TV Guide data in my x64 clients.
