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 RC2, 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​

When installing SVN, it is not possible to select the the "bacup" option.

This is on a fresh install (XP + MP)

This has been the case for several SVN's (possibly since RC2?), the work-around is to use the space bar to select the backup option. It appears to only be a problem with the mouse selection.

Other strange behaviors...

I haven´t found a real answer to question "Is MP VISTA compatible?"
Something happend at RC2 cos my Scaleo display stopped working... Also C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumps folder is missing...
The SVNbuild Rev15854 didn´t work at all in my VISTA, also it could´t found any channels in Server 2003.
This Rev15841 does some how work in VISTA and found´s channels in server 2003. Also the C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumps folder is in place in 2003 but not in VISTA.
Strangest thing is that My user in vista is a real administrator, and when I run MP as administrator I got the latest version but if I just double click it on from MP icon it runs some old SVN version witch I uninstalled away before RC2??? What´s going on???
