Failed on installing the TV Server - log here....

On homepage it´s explicitly stated that you have to stop TV-Service manually before installing MP 1.3. Beta

The word 'dumb' springs to mind:-<

Upgraded the main HTPC.... running smoothly, no unexpected issues; had to update aMPed and reset to 4:3, updated WorldWeather, still have 3 plugins that I rarely use to update. The 2 clients are next.

Thanks Team!!!

Thanks for this nice present And it's good timing too, wife has Christmas party this evening so I have plenty of time to play this evening.

Just bought a new SSD(took my bicycle on snowy Swedish streets to get to the store during lunchtime), so this evening will be spent on reinstall Windows 7 and MP 1.3 beta

OK, attempted upgrade of very happy 1.3 Alpha - client only, connecting to external TV server.

Will repost if I have any more problems

Ok - as Catavolt has gently pointed out, some dipstick didn't read the writing and stop the TV service manually!-) This did then lead to situation where updated install was impossible, so it needs to be in BIGGER letters or there could be a host of dipsticks (host being the collective noun for dipsticks I've decided, although herd [aka sheep] may seem more appropriate come the morrow.

That aside, full install + recovered MovingPicture & MPTVSeries DB's, total sucess. TV client is now however dependant on TV server being 1.3 (assume alpha as well as beta) and not 1.2.3, which does work with 1.3 alpha - quick update of TV Server with 1.3 Beta (which still barf's on WMP11 install, when box has WMP12 already) and all perfect again (absolutely no tinkering needed) - existing 1.3 alpha client also working as expected.

Titan - MovingPictures not supported in Basic Home UNLESS you switch (in GUI) between MyVideos & MovingPicture (this is when MovingPictures is set to load in Home rather than Plugin). Visually stunning and quick, and for those of us in the UK, BBC Weather plugin, install with the Avalon skin extension, then merge these into Titan, not perfect but very close (#header.label not defined).

I'll still wait for Frames to be supported before I switch main machine, but that's just what family knows & I'm happy to 'personalise'.

Again, excellent work all round.

Look forward to more plugins & skins to play with and continued onward and upward development of MePo.

Cheers- JCMP.

Okay, please don't shout too loudly at me if this is 'user error' but I cannot get MP 1.3.0 beta to connect to the TV-Server running 1.3.0 alpha. Is this as expected?

So, on my main HTPC I am running a full TV Server / Client install with 1.3.0 alpha.

I have installed 1.3.0 beta on my laptop to test as a client, but it will not connect to my TV Server. I uninstalled it and tried again with 1.3.0 alpha, and that connected. Uninstalled alpha and re-installed beta - no connection.
