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 latest MediaPortal Release 0.2.2.0, 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.

Custom MediaPortalDirs.xml not working anymore.

I just upgraded from ;

MediaPortal-svn--04-01-2007--20-04-Rev13747.exe

to ...

MediaPortal-svn--04-08-2007--01-00-Rev13906.exe

Now the custom changed "MediaPortalDirs.xml" is ignored.
This was not the case on earlier builds.

This is the path used;
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\My Documents\Team MediaPortal

If I copy the "MediaPortalDirs.xml" file to the installation DIR overwriting the original one then again it is being ignored.
