Call for tester for 1.4.0 features and fixes (2 Viewers)

[Lightning303]

Yeah been using the builds on my productive system aswell, and apart from the small bugs we found and you got rid of everthing works perfectly. I will keep testing of course.

I just want to say, a big thank you @Scythe42 for you hard work. For a long time it seemed that nobody was really interested in fighting these anoying bugs like half-fullscreen. These fixes sure make my htpc life a lot of more fun. And im already excited for your rework of the fontengine. I think after that my experience with mediaportal will be quite perfect .

Wahooo !
(For information all mymovies(+cover+fanart) are on network ( actually on WifePC soon NAS ), and is read in Sharedview (don't like DB yet )) & my HTPC is SO OLDDDD
- Start MP with plugin really speed
- Scroll in My vIdeo 300 movie (folder) with smallcover in listview + Fanart really Better
- start TV seems more rapid also ( But mouse cursor appear 2 sec) when switch to TV on ( & fullscreen auto) .

... I continue

@Scythe42: I'm now testing the latest version of your files, and they are working really great!! Startup time is really a lot better.. Just awesome.. Also starting television, and switching between channels seems to be visible faster! Don't know what you have done with that, but it works!

One thing I couldn't test yet because I actually don't know what it is; "Loop delay for scrolling listview" What's that exactly? I can't see any difference by changing the value in listview..

And last but not least one small thing I can notice. It takes some more time to close Mediaportal. When I try to open Mediaportal configuration by example after I have closed Mediaportal I'm getting a message that Mediaportal is still running. When I wait some more seconds before I start the configuration it's opening just fine.

I have included a log. (I'm using the latest internal test version, but this thing was introduced after installing your files. Also when I was generating this files after Mediaportal was allready closed, it was still saying; "Mediaportal is running" for some seconds before the logs where generated)

Cheers

EDIT: Also found this in the Mediaportal.log file:

[2013-04-10 19:47:49,637] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - GUIFontManager: could load load font with name ''
[2013-04-10 19:47:49,657] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - GUIFontManager: could load load font with name ''

[2013-04-10 19:47:49,667] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - GUIFontManager: could load load font with name 'font13'

And there are a lot more errors like that.. Maybe something with the new fontengine? I'm using Titan btw..

Maybe you can test another skin?

 

[powermarcel10]

Same problem @Holzi. Done with default wide, same problem. I also tried different DPI settings as Scythe changed some things regarding that aswell, but same problem.

This error:

[2013-04-10 19:47:49,637] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - GUIFontManager: could load load font with name ''

is with every skin I tested. Strange enough that all used fonts are shown correct - so may be a logging issue?

Yeah, I couldn't find any strange aswell, everything seems correct..

All in Mediaportal works fine on my system.

But I get an exception in "mediaportal configuration" after clicking the ok button to close.
No settings are stored.
No log is written.

Windows ExceptionInfo is attached.

But I get an exception in "mediaportal configuration" after clicking the ok button to close.

also had the problem, probably some missing file in the bundle, so I guess it is fixed in the latest version...
