I am not sure, but I believe I installed the first beta release of 1.1.0 on a clean xp mce installation a few days ago (not entirely sure as the beta1 installer had the exact name of the previous one, "MediaPortalSetup_1.1.0_BETA-1_rev23491.exe"). Except for HDTV it was running just fine with TV channels and TV Guide and more. Today I noticed that there was a revised Beta, so I did a complete uninstall MP and TV server and installed the new Beta1. After a few tries I could watch the TV channels, but got the error "missing label" in the TV Guide. So, I did a reinstall again and after that and further clean reinstalls I haven't been able to get the TV channels in the client although they work within TV server config. Still the "missing label" in the TV Guide after several grabs through the built in WebEPG-plugin.

Also, after my last complete uninstall + a manual check that all the databases and Application data etc. was gone + a reboot and fresh install, I noticed that settings in TV server config looked the same as before the uninstall. Maybe it's just me getting tired, but things have really become messed up after the revised Beta1. Am I doing something wrong or are there problems with the new beta?

Log files included.

I did a complete uninstall again, of MP as well as MySQL and deleted every associated file and folder I could find. In addition I cleaned registry etc. several times with TuneUp. After reboot and a new fresh install, everything worked as expected again.

glad it's working for you now.
The original issue is because the import/export process has changed between the two versions.
If you import a 1.0.x config into a 1.1 set up, you'll get this issue.
It's caused by a new colum in the tv channel database that is not imported from the old versions.

Well, this issue wasn't about that. I never installed any version below 1.1 beta on the machine, so there must be some issue also when upgrading 1.1 beta to 1.1 beta1. Anyway, it is working now.

I get the 'missing label' when I start MP after a restart. It takes about 2 minutes to start up, taking a lot of time starting tvservice (about one minute!) and window plugins (about 40 seconds).
After startup the tv guide has the message 'label missing'. Simply closing off MP and starting it again magically solves the problem...
This is reproducable every time.

I wish I new I couldn't import my channels, groups and schedules (I guess that i what you mean by 'importing a 1.0.x config')... It'sa bit weird since the newsrepor says y CAN import your old channels, groups and schedules Is there some way to solve this without installing everything from the start again and having to scan and sort all channels again??

Maybe it is usefull to mention this clearly with the 1.1 version to avoid messed up systems

If anyone can see something in my logs, please let me know!

When I'm ready to move up, I'd like to be able to import the old 1.0.x file. I can manually add in the missing XML data. Do you know specifically what it is?
