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 RC1, 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​

I am seeing severe GUI FPS problems with this release.

Most GUI pages are struggling to achieve 10 FPS and when video is present the GUI drops to 1FPS. ( i usualy achieve a rock steady 50 FPS )

The minimise to systray crawls instead of zips across the screen and while MP is running all other OS windows are similarly affected.

It is as though dx acceleration is not being used.

15394 was the last svn that didn't show such problems.

The logs show nothing that is odd. Further testing and I will upload suitable logs.

The above posted problem has a definite method to cause the FPS to drop to such a low and unresponsive figure.ie 1FPS.

Start MP (tested as local client ).

Go to MYTV or MY Videos and start a movie or TV .

The GUI FPS should now be at the FPS of the format being played back .25,30 or 50 FPS.

Now go to MYTrailers and the GUI FPS plummet to 1FPS and the GUI becomes unresponsive. Even stoping playback will not return the GUI FPS back to normal and you need to restart the MP .

Entering the MYTrailers GUI page without a movie being played doesn't cause a problem to the FPS. Starting any web feed trailer and exiting and returning to the MYTrailer GUI page doesn't cause a problem either
