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.

SQL Server​

MediaPortal can automatically install and use MariaDB for its TV Server, but it also supports MS SQL Server. If you plan to use MS SQL server for TV it is necessary to install it yourself before installing MediaPortal with TV Server. Please consult the Wiki for further information.

Upgrade​

Upgrading from MP 1.2.0 Beta or later to 1.39 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.

First of all......Thanks for the release!
Have used MP since 2009.......and over that time, updating has become easier over time....until now!!!
I'm presented with the request to D/L extra files.....and the deploy term raises it's head.
Am I doing something wrong......and is there a baby steps process to get around this please??

I'm presented with the request to D/L extra files.....and the deploy term raises it's head.

I'm not quite sure what the problem is—are you unable to download the necessary dependencies?
As far as I recall, the entire process happens completely automatically, provided you have an Internet connection.

struggling to get screenshot.....has this worked?

That's funny... I haven't seen an offer like that in a long time, but I figure if he's asking, why not grant his request?

has this worked?

Yes, it has worked. The error pop-up wants Windows Media Player version 11 for 32-bit Windows XP. Are you really using Windows XP?

Should've said....already Downloaded files....as requested.....then continue....but still a problem, and a request to browse for missing files.

Absolutely not!!! Windows 11....still on 25H2

 

[tonewheelkev]

Just went to MP.....and find that 1.39 Endurance has replaced previous 1.38.....in spite of messages received during U/D process. Confusing to say the least!!

It looks as though there is an incorrect dependency somewhere in the installer, but one of the developers will need to investigate.

Is MP working? (It might be an incomplete install, with some things working and others not.)
