[News] MediaPortal 1.2.3 RELEASED! (2 Viewers)

[peque]

Sure I'll do. In fact, I do a complete new install every few months to ensure I don't carry old bugs because of different upgrades...

Thanks again. 1.2.3 installed and running.

nice thanks - had a small TV Server Update Problem (from 1.2.2) - TV Server Only Update, after the Update Powerscheduler++ was away.

Hmm,
After install everything seemed to work. But the HD TV was choppy (LAV filter).

Please check if hardware decoding is enabled in the LAV filters. (Start->Programs->LAV->LAV Video Decoder). LAV might have forgot its settings on the update.

Flawless update from 1.2.2, on 1.2.3 since saturday and all is great.
Thanks!

Everything alright when updating to 1.2.3

@All ForTheRecord Users: Remember that you deactivate the TV Server of Mediaportal after updating if both are installed on your system. Cost me 3 recordings until I looked for the TV Server service in Windows

The WAF master super hyper recording has also been lost... oOOo ^^

Just downloaded the Update and i'll test it in the next days. Can't wait getting a timeslot for installing it :-D
Thanks a lot!

That only fixed a bug related to paytv. I can't think of any way where MP could cause a device to dissapear in the devicemanager.
You could try to go back to 1.2.2, but it would be very odd if that would fix the issue (running 1x floppydtv-s, 1xfloppydtv-s2 and one firedtv-s2 here)

Thank you for your prompt feedback - much appreciated!
Maybe it was related to yesterdays date ... Friday 13th ...

I re-installed 1.2.2 last night and got the same problem with disappearing cards (last time I saw this was when I was running Vista).
This morning I installed V1.2.3 again. And so far so good .... I have even rebooted ... and the cards are still there

So I guess it was just one of those coincidences ... both cards disappearing just after installation of a new version (and re-appearing the next day)

I used to use FloppyDTV cards and this used to happen periodically, usually after updates - then it seemed to stabilize for a while. Think it is weak firmware, you have to remove power cord from PC for 10 seconds to reset cards (firewire holds 5V on shutdown). I switched to Hauppaugge Nova HD-S2 cards after DigitalEverywhere dissolved (RIP) and never saw this again.

This is the most effective update in the Mediaportal life!

I have 2 Peak DVB-T PCI card for a total of 4 TV-Tuner. I have never been able to keep them working properly. One card worked properly the other... well I do not know I have never been able to use it. So I used the TV-Server without a lot of passion never properly configured EPG or sorted the channel list in a proper way.

Yesterday for the first Time I have been able to record 2 program while watching another one! This is simple perfect.

Thank You guys

That's what people said after the relase of mp 1.2 as well.
Guess the devs have got a winning run...

An HTPC with Norton is a bad combination.
I have removed all software that could influence performance.
