Thanks

dshow filters require compiling only when you are doing changes into them. SVN contains always up to date binary versions of those.

Hi,

when I install such a self compiled MP Release, will I be able to update RC2 over it? Or will it behave like an SVN Testversion and I'll have to reinstall MP-RC2 from scratch when it will be released?

Someone able to put it back in the right place to compile ?

Self compiled is not the same as RC1, so no uprgade is supported.

If that doesn't work you can always just edit the AssemblyInfo.cs file in the TV-plugin. For ~ 1 year I have been running my own modified version of the TV-plugin, and for me I always get the same problem - it is as if the Assemblyinfo for MediaPortal (not TV-plugin) isn't updated in SVN. So, I edit it manually every time. Just change it to:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.5.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.5.0")]

(last two lines)

As far as I can see, all my assemblyinfo files have exactly those lines at the bottom. On the other hand, I do get a few warnings/errors when compiling and I think this is the reason for my problem, but I do not know why I get them. I can see from the logs that building mediaportal.exe didn't go so well. Attaching log if that helps:

Your postbuild.bat fails somewhere. Try running the postbuild.bat from the commandline with the parameters which appears in your log. Then you can see more precisely where it fails.

I faced the same problem. I think you have checkout each directory from SVN separately, as it is described in manual and as I also did it. But the build script requires that the "root" directory is checked out, because there it gets the SVN version from. So just checkout the whole "https://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mediaportal/trunk" into the x:/svnroot/mediaportal/trunk directory.

Hi,

did it like that and everything is compiling fine without errors but... highest revision I get updating from "https://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mediaportal/trunk" is 24669? Thats quiet old?

So did I misunderstand the wohle thing, because I thought the newest changes are in this Mediaportal SVN, so that getting it and compiling it I'd also get the changes done till now for the RC2 release?
