HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!​

This is the first development build in 2016 based upon the the "Summer'15 Release Update 1".

Main changes compared to Summer'15 Update 1 Release are (grey points where available in previous development snapshots already):

• Skin engine:
  • Try to fix NullReferenceException in font handling in seldom cases
  • Fixed logging of shader load errors
• Fanart-Service
  • Made FanartService more flexible for extensions (used for Emulators plugin, thanks @Brownard)
• Media Library:
  • Extended support for IMDB-id detection of non-xml .nfo files
  • Extended online lookup support at TheMovieDb by using tmdb ids
  • Fixed potential crash for imports of UNC locations when checking for IsVirtualSource (thanks @disaster123 for reporting)
  • Improved memory caching logic to avoid "out of memory" for large imports (thanks @MJGraf)
• New plugin:
  • Added UPnP renderer plugin (thanks @FreakyJ)
• Installer:
  • Removed license link from initial dialog
• Updates and fixes for SlimTV / TVE 3:
  • Fixed user priorities (solves conflicts with EPG grabber and tuning requests)
    
  • Improved schedules management: added scheduled programs list / series view
  • Fixed recording/canceling of programs of series schedules
  • Reworked group / channel / zap handling to use correct group and channel indexes
  • Added new feature to show episode information in TV guide and recording planning
  • Updated core to MP1.12 version
  • Disabled redundant TV Thumbnail creation (done by MP2)
  • Fixed endless loop in recording management if folder is missing
  • Fixed storing/reading of some settings due to case-sensitive DB storage. This works only for new created databases or requires manual changes in SQLite DB (see here).
• BlueVision skin:
  • Fixed help label overlapping
  • Fixed flickering of "currently playing" group button and changed the icon
  • More fine tuning in all themes
  • Using new ImageSourceWrapper for smooth transitions of fanart images (thanks @Brownard !)
  • Moved player controls into new "currently playing" screen (right button in top group menu), so they don't overlap footer contents
  • Added help texts for menu items to make features clearer to new users
  • New "Windows 10" theme
• New window mode, toggle between them by "ALT-Enter":
  • "Windowed always on top" (also known as MiniTV mode in MP1)
  • Windowed (normal)
  • Fullscreen
• Windows modes keep aspect ratio of Skin and position/size will be restored after restart
• Fixed wrong MP2 window size after sleep/resume cycle due to resolution changes (see here)
• Fixed Resource Server that could return wrong url in some cases (fixes loading of fanart / channel logos)
• Changed streaming parameters for remote resource bridge (trying to fix interruption of media playback in multiseat)
• Support for external subtitles by xy-VSfilter (auto loading version, thanks @henso)
  
• 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!

Note: due to skin changes in "BlueVision" some plugins are no longer compatible and need to be updated (especially the Emulators plugin).

Hi.
I have fixed skin files for the emulators plugin attached for those who can't wait until the "official" fixes are available... Simply overwrite the existing files in the Emulators Plugin folder and you can use Emulators with Blue Vision skin (and all of it's themes) again...

 

[Lehmden]

Hi.
Installation (Upgrade) went well, logs attached
If there are any issues in usage I will report when I find them..

Configured Client only machine.
Completed channel scan of OTA and mapped all the channels on the server.
Restarted the MP2-Server process to get the channel info loaded.
Started the MP2 Client only..


MP2 Client crashed with UPnP Errors
MP2 Server (still downloading the importing channel info) also had a major UPnP error

Tanks for this great release!

One small glitch - it would be great if the setuptv app itself get's the MP2 logo too like on / at the desktop.

 

[Scheibes]

Also dieses Weekly war für mich ein rückschritt
Denn seit dem startet die TV Funktion immer schlechter, was meine Frau natürlich zur Weisglut bringt.

Anbei ein Log, wo ich jetzt schon ein paar mal MP2 und den PC neugestartet habe und die TV Funktion einfach nicht starten will.

 

[morpheus_xx]

As we are in english part of the forum, I'll answer in english

Compared to former build there are no changes in the TV part, so there is nothing which could explain new introduced issues. I've checked your logs quickly and could find some single lines in server.log:
"[2016-01-04 18:11:57,505] [355559 ] [31 ] [ERROR] - Starting timeshifting failed with result AllCardsBusy"
Which means that all tuners are busy (recording, timeshifting).

 

[Scheibes]

Was aber eigentlich nicht sein kann. Da der PC frisch gestartet ist. Es müssten alle Tuner und Smartkarten verfügbar sein.
