Hey mm,
I was just going through the instructions for the crash dump but as I recently uninstalled MP (cuz of the constant recording), I needed to reinstall it. Sounds easy enough but I keep getting the dreaded "not responding" failure when it attempts to install mySQL. Now I can't even install MP!
I tried to install mySQL from their website but got stuck on adding the username and password, I now believe its root and mediaportal respectively as I saw them while once again attempting to install MP.
I sneakily decided to try to install XBMC again or the alpha version of what they are calling it now, Yodi or something similar. I decided to use nextPVR as my backend but for the life of me I can't get the channels to scan at all. Uninstalled both of them as it was giving me the shits and I don't think I'll get anywhere with that. Oh, and I like MP better.
I'll keep trying to install MP and but as I have written this entire post I am still installing the Direct X redist2010 (approx 10mins), I don't remember it taking that long before, anywho, patience is a virtue. That's bullshite if you ask me!
Any suggestions with the MP installer not working? I have used the uninstall option that completely clears all traces of MP, mods etc so I don't understand how a fresh install could be playing up.
FYI, my system and all things win 8.1 runs fine. Solid as a rock, so I think hardware is not to blame, maybe drivers?
Thanks
Edit: Just got asked to download windows media player 11 and then select it to be installed. OMG. Went to the windows www page and it rightfully states that Windows Media Player is already available with Win 8.1. Yes, I know its installed... I download WMP 11 just so I could install it and move on but again, it states that a newer version is already install and I can't install it. End of installation attemp 489!
