I still have this problem on the latest SVN... Well not exactly the same issue but similar. Usually take 2-5 seconds to change channel. If i keep changing channels the MP client just hangs and I end up having to do a reboot to get back. Cannot kill the app from task manager. Looks to me like a problem with the plugin rather than MP because I get the same result on multiple machines. The actual stream doesnt seem to be affected because I can view the stream on another pc or a client on the server itself and its fine. So I think it is just the plugin that dies.


I installed the latest SVN last night (12193) on top of 0.2.0.4.


BTW... Fairly new to MP but I think its a fantastic peice of software!! Keep up the good work guys.

You should install the SVNs on top of 0.2.1 AFAIK. Don't know what happens if you don't, just remember seeing this as the recommended path.

Ok. According to the TV Server download page it says install on top of 0.2.0 but I have tried deleting both server and clients completely and used 0.2.1 for the base and the same thing happens. Its a bit unclear about the base install. I sort of agree with you though because when you install 0.2.0 and then install the SVNs it then says you are running 0.2.1 on the splash screen anyway.

I will try a clean install again tonight on version 0.2.1 and latest SVN on both server and client and create a new server database. Will let you know how I get on... Thanks for the help
