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​

CD AutoPlay is behaving unpredictably, at least since SVN 08-12-2007--01-00-Rev15504. Although I have MP set to automatically play the CD, it didn't always with that version and never does with this one. When I then drill down to the CD track listing in "Shares", it generally shows titles, but occasionally fails to (even with the same CD).
Often, ripping starts immediately when I press the "info" key on my MCE remote. Occasionally, I actually have to pick "Import CD" from the menu. The imported files are generally named with the correct track titles, but sometimes the tags are empty, even when the correct info was retrieved for naming the files. Lastly, the pop-up menu option, "Search for album art" has no discernable effect.
