montecristo,
next time try to read full announcement

If you are running MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta, then all your installed extensions (plugins and skins) will continue to work in 1.2.0 RC! You only need the new installer for upgrades/new releases of an extension.

hi guys,

i'm a little confused about the extensions in mp 1.2.0

i'm now running 1.1.0
if i update to 1.2.0 will allready installed extensions still work in mp?

or is it only the older install files that will not work? (old versions of extensions that are not installed yet in mp)

upgrades:

• MP 1.1.x or 1.2.0 ALPHA -> 1.2.0 (RC)
  • MediaPortal and TV-Server will be upgraded
  • Extensions (skins and plugins) are not compatible, you must updated those after the upgrade to 1.2.0 (RC)
• MP 1.2.0 BETA -> 1.2.0 (RC)
  • MediaPortal and TV-Server will be upgraded
  • Extensions (skins and plugins) which were working with 1.2.0 BETA, will continue to work with 1.2.0 RC and 1.2.0 final.
    If your skin show a deformed volume bar, then you need to get an updated version of the skin. This is because we fixed the <width> property so that it finally works.

Sorry montecristo, but Vasilich is absolutely right.

As the news already says. Only if you run 1.2.0 Beta, your extensions will continue to work.
If you run an earlier version, they won't.

Thank you for the fantastic work on MP. I installed it without errors, and it works perfectly on my system.

Reg seems to suffer from a corrupted or incomplete download.

Hi Guys, many thanks for this, I have been looking forward to it for some time.

I'm currently running 1.1.3 on the server and clients. Is there any benefit from doing a clean install instead of just using the upgrade option?

Many thanks.

I think it's best if you make this clear in the article itself, i myself had to read the part about mpei and upgrades multiple times to understand it and i'm not a "regular" user


It's hard to make it easily understandable
