Infos:
These Subversion-snaps are compiled at about 01.00h (CET).
You can also visit the official irc-channel (#mediaportal) to get a notice when its ready for download. The trigger !svn gives you the latest update too.
They are not pre-tested, so please use the backup option from time to time.
If you'd like the bleeding edge code and don't mind the inherent risks, upgrade to the snapshot releases as they become available.
If stability is important to you, you might want to stay with the fully-tested releases.

How to install MediaPortal SVN-Snapshots in short:
1) Install MediaPortal 0.2.3.0, not necessary if already done
2) install .NET Framework Version 2.0
3) Run the Snapshot-Installer. You should create a backup.
4) Run Configure. Sometimes the settings and database versions change from build to build, so you have to reconfigure your TV for example
5) Hopefully enjoy the new version
6) If not, restore your old files and you will have the former version back.

Important notice: The backup function wont work for Vista atm, here you need to save your configuration manually. A rewrite is planned but will take some more time for testing.

You can find more infos on SVN-snaps and how to install them in this Wiki-guide​

with this release switching on TV&Radio channel (DVB-S) works again but not really good.
TV is (nearly) OK - seems slower than before.
When TV is running, switching to a Radio channel often crashes MP.
When Radio is running and changing channel to TV MP tunes the TV channel, but only audio. The TV audio LED remains dark. If pressing TV-ON then MP may switch on video as well or crash immediately.
When switching from one Radio channel to another then first audio stops for 2-3 seconds, then the previous channel is played for 5-10 seconds, then silence, then another 2 seconds the old channel, then the new channel is played.
Note: this tests done with new TSWriter.ax (the one comming with TVS seems to increase occurances of above problems)
