MediaPortal 2 SR'15 Update 1 snapshot (2015-08-03) (1 Viewer)

[morpheus_xx]

This is a TEST build for our upcoming "Update 1" of the Summer'15 Release.

Main changes compared to Summer'15 Release are:

• Reworked installer, it uses a bootstrapper to install dependencies
• Fixes for SlimTV / TVE 3:
  • IPTV was broken, loading of plugins fixed, ini-file in correct location now (thanks to @mm1352000 !)
  • Fixed missing registration of MPEG muxer filter for analog (thanks @mm135200)
  • Updated core to MP1.12 version
  • Radio groups are visible in SlimTV client
  • New: allow parallel use of TVE3/3.5: ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\SlimTvCore\v3.0 or v3.5 folders will be used for different data (due to differences in tuning details!). But still only one version can be run concurrently, of course!
  • New: allow "auto tune last channel" when entering TV
  • New: automatic creation of media sources for recordings. Note: this works only after you ran TV configuration once (settings need to be saved). Then you need to restart MP2-Server once.
  • New: Icon for TV configuration
• Log collector now included, with link on desktop and start menu (using new icon as well)
• Fix for NetworkConnectionTracker (improved detection of virtual NICs)
• Update for "OneTrueError" service plugin to avoid huge amount of TVE3 exceptions to be reported
• OnlineVideos 2 plugin is not contained, please backup and restore it after install

If you experience errors, please post logfiles here. A link to Log Collector can be found on your Desktop and Start Menu!

I did a completed uninstall on my server (WV-Server) and my client (Sylvester)
Completed the install for Server Only on WV-Server and configured all the TV Side

Completed Client Only install on Sylvester and configured.
When starting TV on Sylvester I get the following

Went to start a TV Show on my client Sylvester.
Tried 2 channels, all I got was a black screen

Thanks breese, if the playback problem remains for you, please set log level to ALL and create new logfiles.

 

[breese]

What file is that in again?
Damn search is doing nothing for me

 

[morpheus_xx]

What file is that in again?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\MP2-Client.exe.config, line 51

I turned the logging to ALL.
Tried Live TV (CBS2), all I got was a black screen.

To make sure it was not something else, I played a movie (A Bugs Life), worked as expected.

Update.... The new machine I build somehow download and installed a new CC Video driver and killed the screen.
I restored to last month and all is working!
I am watching a OTA channel and am going to let it run All Night Long...

After leaving the TV running on my client Sylvester all night I found the TV locked up this morning.
Seems there was an issue with the live4-0.tsbuffer roll overs.
As you can see, there are a number of these files taking over 4G of space. btw: I thought the default was 4 or 5 files...


As I look thru the logs I found
[2015-08-05 03:59:54,844] [463bb28] [12d0] - pmtgrabber: got new pmt version:5 4, service_id:1
[2015-08-05 03:59:54,844] [463bb28] [12d0] - pmtgrabber: NO callback done because a/v pids still the same.
[2015-08-05 04:42:31,152] [463bb28] [12d0] - MultiFileWriter: failed to create file F:\Timeshifting\live4-0.ts.tsbuffer4.ts

EDIT:
I have no clients running and went to delete the buffer files in my timeshift folder, 3 files came up locked???
live4-0.ts.tsbuffer
live4-0.ts.tsbuffer2
live4-0.ts.tsbuffer4
I can understand these being locked but the just from #2 to #4? Would have expected #2 and #3

btw: I thought the default was 4 or 5 files...

Default is 6 files. The fact that you have 20 and that some files were locked suggests that TsWriter may have thought that TV at the client was paused.

As I look thru the logs I found
[2015-08-05 03:59:54,844] [463bb28] [12d0] - pmtgrabber: got new pmt version:5 4, service_id:1
[2015-08-05 03:59:54,844] [463bb28] [12d0] - pmtgrabber: NO callback done because a/v pids still the same.

This part is normal.

[2015-08-05 04:42:31,152] [463bb28] [12d0] - MultiFileWriter: failed to create file F:\Timeshifting\live4-0.ts.tsbuffer4.ts

Yes, this part is related to whatever happened here.
