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, 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​

Does not work for me over the network with today's build (or any in the last week) of tvserver and svn client. MPTclient works fine with VLC player to see any channel over the network.

My setup:

server: winxp pvr150, 1.7ghz cpu 512mb, works fine locally

client: winxp dualcore / high-end system

database: linux mysql database / high-end system, works fine

see attached logs.

Found a fix for myself. I found the following keys based on the CLSID the mediaportal.log was complaining about on the non-working client. Regedit.exe found the attached keys in on the tv-server machine, I imported them and now I have video.

This is very odd to me, but it is what it is. The main difference I can think of between the two installations is only that on the server, I had a [configured] version of mediaportal before 'upgrading' to the beta train and of course there is no tv card on the client.

I attached the registry keys for your information on what the installer missed and anyone else having this problem (there seem to be a few posts on the subject of missing registry keys, some dating back to much older versions of the software).

I have very slow channelchanges in the tv section with this svn (my first update since stable 0.2.3.0 version)
