I support your decision about only Windows 7 support.

I support your decision about only Windows 7 support.

But please oh please, don't forget to use Invariant versions of .ToString() methods, which is a must for users with several regional settings (in my case Turkish). I had informed & also provided some of the solution for MP1 (skin engine). I still haven't tried TV Server if it would work or not, but in v0.2.0 it wasn't...

And also you might check Normalize string to uppercase MSDN article to make it all go away...

Or maybe a configuration setting to specify the CultureInfo & CultureUIInfo to be used with MediaPortal processes...
Such as:

Application.ChangeCulture("en-US")
Application.ChangeUICulture("en-US")

But I would prefer the proper handling of Turkish regional settings in MPII in all modules...

Can you tell me, which kind of problems you got with MP1 with normal, localized versions of .ToString()?

He refers to lowercase functions, which causes problems. Solution is to use ToLowerInvariant. The mantis entry for MP1 is this one:
0001138: localization problem - MediaPortal Bugtracker

Ok, thank you both!
We must remember to test such languages with MP-II too. But it's good to know of such problems as we also have some calls of ToLower() in the code - for example in the lookup code for skin resources.

- Start-up problem with Turkish Regional Settings
- Unresolved Regional Settings related skin bug
- [Approved] Fix for mantis #0001138

TV Server DB creation with MS SQL was OK, but the rest didn't work. I tried renaming the DB so that there is no letter i in use but still worked with v0.2.x... As I mentioned before I haven't tried TV Server 3 with MPI 1.1.0 beta or alphas...

You can contact me through MSN if you need anything... (same as my email here)

Why I can't compile MPII with Visual Studio 2008?
Compile Errors:
Can't find Type or Namespace Un4seen
Can't find Type or Namespace IMediaItem
Can't find Type or Namespace BASS_CHANNELINFO
Can't find Type or Namespace SYNCPROC
Can't find the Namespace Media at the Namespace MediaPortal
....

+1 for Windows 7 only. Makes life easier for the devs and one licence doesnt cost as much as the users lifetime

We have still many projects which don't compile. Use the build configurations provided in the solution files. Here, only the working projects are checked to be compiled.
You should use build configuration x86/Debug or x86/Release.

+1 für win7

I'm running my HTPC on Win7RC and for the HTPC it was a really good thing (integrated Codecs for avi, TV, fast start up, ...) and I think for release date of MP II support for WinXP shouldn't be needed. If it will be needed, somebody on earth will make patches for MP II.

And on my workstation is Vista (64bit) running. I know the bashing about it, but it's installed for over 2 years and it's not that bad all are complaining about. Running Vmwares with some other OSes.

How about a Ubuntu MP II realized on mono. That would be a nice thing. :sorry:
