[QUOTE="alc_aardvark, post: 230736, member: 64450"] [b]area of interest[/b] I thought I would start to gain some familiarity with the system by running and looking at the nUnit tests. I was surprised to see so many of them fail on a clean download and build. ... But it has been a nice starting place to learn some basics of how everything is structured, so in a round-about way it has been a good thing. I was also a little surpirsed to see that the MediaPortal.Configuration project is not setup properly to run in debug (so I fixed this locally, but not sure if my fix fits in with recommended methods). What I really wanted to do was investigate my TV failures and lockups that I am getting. I am now in a good position to debug these, as I have a reproducable failure (in unsafe code for the technotrend card), plus a good lead on the lockup. So, ... I am trying to get my TV setup stable and "un-breakable". Once the basics are in place, I plan to create a "Stress Test" harness that will allow you to run a repeatable set of loads on the PC and MP software (CPU, disk IO, IR command lists etc) so I can see where it will break. NB. There are still plenty of failed Recording (Timer) tests if there are any experts out there :) Nice to hear from you all! [/QUOTE]
