Installation, Upgrade, Download and Feedback​

Installation​

Since we switched to .NET4 you need to make sure you have.NET4 installed on your computer (not needed if you are on Windows 8 because it comes with .NET4, but you NEED the .NET 3.5 features enabled!). Otherwise you are not able to install MediaPortal and the installer just quits.

Download-Link: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer)
Aside from that when doing a clean installation of the this Release there is nothing else to worry about.

Microsoft SQL Server​

If you plan to use MSSQL server for TV it is necessary to install it yourself before installing Mediaportal with TV Server. Instructions for previous versions are on the wiki, note that new versions were not checked for 100% compatibility.
For Windows XP, Vista - MSSQL 2005 - SQL Server 2005
For Windows 7 or later - MSSQL 2008 - SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2 Express
For Windows 7 or later - MSSQL versions above 2008, there's no official documentation from Mediaportal but you can install and configure it based on the articles above, google or documentation from Microsoft. Compatibility has not been tested.

Upgrade​

Upgrading from MP 1.2.0 Beta or later to 1.34 Release​

All MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta installations can be upgraded to this Release without losing your settings.

Plugins:​

If you are running MediaPortal 1.6.0 or earlier, then it is possible that some of your previously installed plugins will be shown as incompatible after the upgrade to this Release! Whether or not a plugin is incompatible depends on the MediaPortal subsystems the plugin uses.
All plugins that work for the 1.7.1 HotFix release, should also work with the this Release.

Upgrading Extensions:​

The easiest way to upgrade your extensions is by launching the MediaPortal Extension Installer, and let it check for updated versions. However this only works for extensions that use our MPEI system. If the author of the extension releases it as a stand alone installer, you must contact them for an updated version.

---

General note about Upgrades​

Manually stop TV-Service!

On some systems our installer is not able to update the TV-Server installation because its files are locked or the service can not be stopped.
For upgrades to this Release we recommend that you manually stop the TV-Service and make sure, via Windows Task Manager (enable the "all users" option), that the TvService.exe process is really gone before starting to upgrade.
Custom TV-Service properties
If you manually changed the properties of the TV-Service (like restart on error options), then you must redo these changes after the upgrade. The installer is not able to save and restore your custom service properties when it installs the new version of the TV-Service.

Single seat install of 1.34 x64

clean install on windows 10 and windows 11 fail.

First attempt was on windows 10 after I cleaned out the old mysql.
Deploy tool gets the mysql install config and then hangs

Checking services I see mysql is stopped and stops evertime I try to enable it.
Rebooting and trying reinstall does the same.

At this point I decide to upgrade to winodws 11, I do complete clean install and update everything.

The clean install of MP does exactly the same thing and hangs at mysql.

So I cleaned out mysql and installed version of 1.33 of mediaportal and it installed correctly.
I then upgraded to 1.34 and everything still worked.

so the old install with msql 5.6 was the good, the new fresh install with MP 1.34 fails installing mysql 8.

the new fresh install with MP 1.34 fails installing mysql 8.

How about MariaDB? Or some logs?

How can I find out if my current version (Halloween) is 32 or 64 bit?

• SplashScreen on MP start, rigth bottom corner
• Configurator
• Log

 

[greybox]

The splash screen and configuration program show the version number, but they don't show if it is а 32 or а 64 bits version. I am not sure where in the logs the bits information can be seen.

32

 

[catavolt]

but they don't show if it is а 32 or а 64 bits version

OFC they do
Splashscreen of Titan and all my skins show whether it´s x86 or x 64



And the config screen shows it as well (see screenshot):



So check whether you have this folder: C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal - if not you are on x86
If you have that folder, you should run the Configuration.exe from there to see the config like shown above
