    Hi all..
    Just a general question...
    How does 1.2.0 Alpha compare with 1.1.1 Final in terms of reliability and stability ?

    1.2.0 Alpha is more stable and reliable. Some memory leaks and some skin engine bugs have been fixed. Although named "Alpha" it´s the most stable version of MP ever ;)

    The downside is that not all plugins work with it yet :( But that's a matter of time, ofcourse!

    Which ones don´t work? As I support the majority of plugins in my skins, I had to test wether the plugins work or not before releasing the new skin versions. I didn´t find any of the supported plugins not working ;)

    And there is no clue how many new issues are hidden with the new features (or with the current bug fixes) - so it shouldn't be stated as more stable even when it could be that in some cases it is just too early for that (for example crossfading enabled while playing audio + start video playback -> crash to desktop - even thou this seems to be an BASS library issue itselfb but the end user wont care :) ).

    If you want to have a stable one without leaks just use 1.1.0 like I have on my HTPC :p

    Also the TvGuide doesn't work if you use more than one channel group - and much more - just look at mantis. I wouldn't recommand 1.2 for productional use.

    Exactly,
    For example, 1.1.1 and 1.2.0 releases give "TV connexion lost" where it was not the case in 1.1.0, that's why I downgraded.
    Since there was not so much TVE3 change beetween 1.1.0 and 1.1.1, it could be easy to find where the problem is. ;)

    Hmmm, I had 3 channel groups with 1.1.1 and upgraded to 1.2.0 without problem.

    I went to to 1.2.0 because 1.1.1 was looking like a bag of bolts with the various fixes I had loaded with 1.1.1.
    I.E. Channel changing under 1.1.1 was forever giving me errors/problems, and 1.2.0 fixes this. A major reason to upgrade IMHO.

    My only 'wish' is that the guys would release new versions more often.

    Ian.

    It's getting weirder..... If I remove all the IP cards in the TVServer setup and then add them back I can scan the M3u and tune the stations but if I rescan it on the same card it just keeps updating the 1 channel. My brain is melting.........
