Hey!

Is already known if a migration from MP1 will be possible to MP2?

Regards from Germany

    Hi Martin

    There is no migration as such, currently you can run them side by side on the same pc if you wish to try out MP2 :)

    Hi!

    Yes, I've read. But I´m already thinking about how I can change after the release of MP2 with no problems and a lot of work.

    Regards to England.

    I have the same question. I would like to transition my house away from WMC7. I have tried XBMC and now I would like to try MP. The dilemma is MP1 or MP2. Obviously MP1 is stable but I don't want to put in a lot of effort only for it to be wasted when MP2 comes out. Perhaps starting with MP2 alpha is a better idea or will a migration path be provided?

    Greetings from US!

    A wise response indeed! Thanks kiwi

    I see now that my CableCard tuner (DCR-2650) is not supported in 1.2.x and is a 'Work in Progress' in 1.3.x.

    There will be a new "MP2 Alpha Autumn Release" soon, so if you are interested in trying it, stay tuned :)

    @huha also mentioned, that he plans to extend his BackupSettings plugin in a way to provide some basic migration of settings (mainly shares definitions).

    MP2 is on a good way, it's maturing "slowly" but steady :)

    I'm still using BeyondTV and MediaPortal 1.0.0.0 with WinXP......yea I know, but it works and it keeps the wife happy. Soon I plan to replace my aging system and I was going to switch to WMC because of cablecard support, but I prefer a non-M$ solution....preferably MP. I eagerly await the arrival of MP 1.3 !!!

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply. The reason was I had unchecked the Windows Media Player item in Windows 10 Control Panel > Program and Features > Turn Windows features on or off as I didn't need it, without thinking that it was needed by MediaPortal. I kept the "Media...

    This error occurs when attempting to open the DVD plugin. According to the log, when MP starts up, it tries to open the plugin but is unable to do so because there is no disc, so it returns to the initial screen.
