MediaPortal SVN-Snapshot:-05-23-2008 22-51h - Revision:19158 (2 Viewers)

yes the devs might work hard, but do you think for the enduser this is a piece of cake?
now we are at a level, that only the experienced enduser has a change to get mediaportal correct running.
then suddenly there are changes. i see that something is not working anymore. then i have to spend much time in research to find the problem. then i read that there is a new feature in mediaportal, that caused that disfunction of powersheduler.

Hello Parkuhr,

I am a humble user like most of the people who are posting here. I use MediaPortal since two weeks now, hence I would not consider myself to be an experienced user, yet I have a version that satisfies many of my personal needs. Basically you have three choices:

1. Uninstall and forget about MP. This is an open source project and I consider it inappropriate to critizise people who invest their valuable time, for which they deserve certainly a great

2. Use onle stable versions. In your case the RC1 - don't install SVN's

3. Install the weekly SVN. In that case please understand that you are joining the MP beta tester community. SVN's are meant to test features and error corrections . By no means may the be considered as software patches or updates, something that you are implying in your comments.

Best regards,
Johannes

P.S.: The PowerScheduler "disfunction" is not a bug, it's a feature.

According to the thread linked by rtv in post #9 the PowerSheduler had a bug because the weekly svn was build while only half of the changed code for the new feature was comitted, if that is what you were talking about.

Btw: I find it always hard to mention things that are not yet perfect without at least 2 people jumping out of the darkness and telling me that this software is open source and the devs are working hard and... I know this. I am not worthy and try to fall on my knees in every single post, but is feedback making this software worse?

1. ah ok, its not allowed to post impressions here. becouse its an open source project. very interesting.

2. not possible becouse even the stable version is not very stable at least in my case with my hardware combination. maybe thats different from user to user. i duno.

3. if i use svn, its not allwoed to give feedback. i duno on wich planet you are living...
-------------------------------------------
english isn t my foreign langauge. i am honest, my english is really bad.
but we can everytime discuse this in german. just write me a note.
you are every time welcome!
but so, this has no sense, becouse you have a advantage on this battlefield, becouse my bad english.
------------------------------------------


brings nothing to argue about this. i have my viewpoint and i have explained why.
its your right to have your own viewpoint.
i can only say, that i don t agree with you.
nothing more to say about it.

greetings
parkuhr

p.s: its really not easy to post here without getting attacked. i have the feeling i can t say free what i think and thats not ok.
i respect the devs, their work and all the stuf they do.
but i have the impression that for some people here, the comments and viewpoints from the enduser are not welcome.
i hope that i am wrong with this sugestion.

Unauthorized: i agree, becouse i see what happend after i postet a comment about it.

Errr guys?

It's nice to have some general discussion but could you please use another thread?

These SVN build threads are intended for "direct" feedback to the build (e.g. "bugs x and y are now fully fixed, problem z however reappears").

Users like Parkuhr are failing to setup MP and help with testing because they post into these threads with inappropriate topics -> the thread contains lots of "unimportant" reading -> important infos aren't read anymore -> advance to go - do not collect 200$.

Please also keep in mind that team members who have helped to fix some parts will keep an eye on these threads and will be distracted from important stuff as well.

first, sorry, it was not my attention to argue or anything. it was just a reaction becouse the attacking against me.
i only want my peace, beliefe me
well i wasn t failed to setup mp. it was settet up correctly, but it wasn t working, becouse the new feature was buggy.
first with you fix, it was working correctly for me.

but what ever...
i like mp very much and i know that the devs make a great job.
that was never the point.

nice evening

Hello,
I have a problem when switching radio stations.
Synopsys:
1. select radio station A-> station A is playing
2. select radio station B -> down-left corner shows name of B but keeps playing A

Seems like bug 1213 is back again, but when I wait several seconds I hear a 'glitch' and station B start playing

I have added logs of both client and server.
If more info is needed, please contact me.

kind regards,
Ruud.

Picture freeze

Hello,

tv picture is freezing after some hours. switching tv on an of solves the problem for some hours before it freezes again.

forwarding or backwarding buffered tv is also very slow.

any idea?

tv picture is freezing after some hours. switching tv on an of solves the problem for some hours before it freezes again.

Do not use the recorded folder defaults for TVServer, make sure you have a TVrecordings folder and a seperate timeshifting folder (this can be inside the recorded TV folder).

See if that helps.
