Hi CyberSimian

Thank you for trying the refactored version and giving me feedback.

Are you installing this on a separate machine (VPN)? We need to start with a fresh install of MP1 (1.29) using the production install executable and then copy the new files over that installation by running RefactorMediaPortal.bat as administrator. Now, delete the databases. When you run the configuration app or the GUI the databases should be created automatically. You will know if you've got it right if the video database is called VideoDatabaseV6.db3 and the music database should be MusicDatabaseV15.db3. The fanart database will have a version of 5.0 in the 'param' table. If you have autostart MPTray running in the toolbar then you should close it first because this version upgrades Utils.dll and MPTray locks this DLL.

I got the perpetual spinning dial when the wrong version of the database is loaded. So I suspect that you need to check that first. So make sure you follow the steps in the above paragraph rather than copying your current installation. You need to do this because this release is so extensive that, for testing, I think we need to start from scratch with clean databases and I can work on upgrading existing databases when I am sure that the product is working for everyone. You will see the database being populated as you work through the functionality.

You can install the attached free SQLite database browser to look at the database contents.
