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.

Opening movies directories is now very slow

Hi,

After this svn initial opening of the movies directories got very slow. Directory listing opens eventually and it owrks OK but it may take maybe 15 to 20 seconds. Previously it was not noticeable. As I look at the mediaportal log I see a lot entries for SQLlite. Do I need to do something in the configuration?

Best Regards,

Markku

Fastforwarding in timeshift crashes MP

Hi,

I thought I share all problems which occured after this SVN.

Anyway our mediapc box is the only box we use and it has been improving steadily. Now we have dvb subs working.But timeshifting did work better with april svn (never did see a crash).

Now I just tested a paused program which does not have dvb subs and waited a couple of minutes. Then fast forward to 4x and a crash in a few seconds.

All logs in are one zip.

I do not know if it makes any difference but I needed to switch to nvidia codec after installing this svn. I used to have PDVD6 codec which in my opinion detected the aspect ratio better and sports programs looked "clearer". All in all quality is good still.

I have seen TS problem mentioned a couple of times in the last 15 or so SVNs.

I hope this helps.

Markku
