I have used 1.1.0 for over a year and very satisfied.

I ran Windows update and dvbfix before running 1.2.0 download

Then having selected a new installation the installaion correctly gets to Install 1.2.0. Then it encounters problem and fails,

I attach the file mentionned in the error message.

Can you help?

Many thanks
Christopher

Hi CBFR

This looks like the same issue as the one mentioned here (mpaudioswitcher.ax) to me. Can any other team member confirm that?

 

[CBFR]

If it is something to do with mpaudoswitcher.ax Could somone tell me if there is a solution.
I am not highly computer literate

Many Thanks

I attach the file mentionned in the error message.

What was the actual error message?

Assuming it is the same problem, you'll have to wait until the team fix it.

Best wishes,

Mark

Thank you for your interest,

After down loading and opting for a standard installation (not an update) in French Then

The following stages are implemented correctly


Apllication Action
- Very old MP/TV Engine Installation Disinstalled
- Direct X Installed
- MS Visual C++ 2010 Installed
-Windows Media Player 11 Installed
-Media Portal 120 Beta ...........

Then I get a message
Media Portal Installation has encountered a problem and has to be closed - Send to Microsoft ? - I select No
Then a message
Media Portal Deploy tool Error
Installation of Apllication Failure (Media Portal 1.2.0 Beta)
OK

I then hit OK and nothing else happens

Unfotunately this is far from "OK"

At the stage of the " send to Microsoft" there is a reference to a file which I attached to my first message below

I hope this helps

By the way my computer language setting is French so all these translations may be somewhat different to the standard English error messages

Thanks for your assistance
Christopher

Okay, I for one am still unclear as to whether this is the mpaudoswitcher problem described in the other thread.
Can someone please set the record straight.

<EXE NAME="MPAudioSwitcher.ax" FILTER="GRABMI_FILTER_THISFILEONLY">
<MATCHING_FILE NAME="MPAudioSwitcher.ax" SIZE="142848" CHECKSUM="0xFE25D927" MODULE_TYPE="WIN32" PE_CHECKSUM="0x2335D" LINKER_VERSION="0x0" LINK_DATE="02/24/2011 06:18:01" UPTO_LINK_DATE="02/24/2011 06:18:01" />
</EXE>

The above excerpt from log file does indeed point towards mpaudioswitcher.ax. Thus it is highly likely to be the same issue. Which still needs to be fixed, since it was not just a compilation issue.

Just a quick update:

Since the installation I do not have anything in the Windows Start menu except for Media Portal TV-Server .
However in c:/ program Files / Team MediaPortal /MediaPortal
All the program files are apperently installed

MediaPortal.exe runs 1.2.0.0 which fires up in next to no time and gives me :
Photos
Video
DVD
Music
Plug-ins
Settings

I can play CDs DVDs with better sound than before - Thanks
I can find photos and Weather

The only problem I have is running the TV Server which appears not to be updated -it leads to an outdated web-page
and so I cannot start on TV config.
The page "TV" on menu leads back to the menu above

I am impressed by the interface and await the fix for mpaudioswitcher if taht is the problem.
If you need further info do not hesitate

Thanks
Christopher

We are considering how to fix it for the next release. It will be fixed - we are just investigating how to do it best.
You could have read that in the thread mm linked to.
