Just wondering if you restarted computer after installing VC++ 2008.

I did

well ... hmmm ... after VC++ 2008 installed. mp x64 1.33 unpacts but installation window does not open ... nothing happens. I reinstalled 1.32 x64, working fine.

That is strange. Do you see any error in your system event logs?

Works perfect on my system. But I confirm that Visual C++ 2008 x64 needs to be installed although the setup only mentions Visual C++ 2010 and newer.

I may have other issues with the PC. Recent Windows security update did not install. I will try a 1.33 x64-pre installation on another client PC later today.

Install of 1.33 X64 Pre-Release completed without issue.

• Completed full uninstall of any existing MP server/TV server components before installing 1.33
• Server/TV installed without issue.
• TV channel scan completed without issue using m3u file pointing to HDHomeRun tuner.
• FanArt extension loaded and updated without issue.
• OnlineVideos extension was not available through Extension Manager. I’m assuming it’s been temporarily removed for updates.
• Music library added without issue.
• M3u music playlist added without issue.
• Picture library added without issue.

I’ll continue testing.
Nice job!

I'm very pleased to report that EPG Buddy is working in conjunction with the MP 1.33 x64 using the standard xmlTV plugin from x64 TV Config. I have also enabled the Power Scheduler plugin and set up a schedule for EPG grabbing and will report back latter next week* on its functionality.

*Updated.

I gave up trying to get 1.33 x64 Pre installed on my livingroom client. My issue was complicated when I tried to get 1.32 x64 Pre RE-installed on the livingroom client (after repeated testing), and it would no longer install, with an error message saying it could not register the key. So I swapped-in a duplicate PC which DID install 1.33 x64 Pre successfully.. Still not sure what happened, or how to fix it.

btw. SchedulesDirect plugin is working nicely with the x64 TVServer.

If I remember correctly, there was certain issue in 1.32 while uninstalling the TV Server.
If the DeployTool can't find the TV server uninstall execution file, then the DeployTool deletes the TV server section in the uninstall registry - and this failed because of a bug in the code.
