Offbyone,

This is turning into a great "all encompassing" plugin!

For me enabling the auto update once a week (and then disabling it) is not a problem (I simply paste my custom channels back into the xml once done), but the ability to manually perfom this task would be great - I assume under the manual update I would still lose my custom channels/settings?

Is there a way of "marking" any changes from the default settings as "custom", such that the updater does not overwrite those custom settings? (just an idea)

Again, many thanks

J.

In manual update you can update and tell it to leave the categories alone.

offbyone,

can you please consider to trap the auth error given by UAC and notify user that the autoupdate of component XXX failed because of UAC ? A restart with "run as admin" is required to fix the issue.
It's not handy to check logs, see error.log->understand UAC is preventing autoupdate-> restart MP in admin -> check again log s after to see if all is ok this time

in advance.

I already updated the MPEI (V2) installer, to set full access rights for Local Users on the siteutils dll folder on install. Will release 0.20 on the weekend so this error is hopefully history. (Betatesters for the new installer are welcome to PM me)

Small question: MediaPortal 1.02 did run as Admin anyway or do I remember incorrectly? (Will have to update the old installer too in that case)

Sorry but I think this will not fix the issue as UAC will always ask for auth on c:\program files, regardless of the rights of the folder

Sorry, but you remember wrong: MP cannot and ever will request admin rights to run as will be impossible to answer to the UAC prompt with a remote.

Sorry this is off topic,but I can't resist responding. Since I am running XP, I don't get UAC prompts. Nonetheless I remember trying to set up MP 1.02 to run from an ordinary user account and failing. I don't remember the details, but I ultimately gave up and gave the account running MP admin rights. Is MP1.1 now "clean" in this respect? I am now running MP 1.1 RC1.

Yup it's now "clean" on this as we run a own written utility, SetRights.exe, on each install/upgrade.

And obviously the main issue, UAC prompt, is only on >=Vista.

Ok my UAC did kind of fool me the last time I tested You are correct there is no way to write to the "Program files" dir from within MediaPortal when not run as admin. But at least on my build I get an error that a dll was not successfully downloaded. (although it was, but could not be saved should be the message).

There are a few options how to solve this problem, but I am not sure how most people run MediaPortal on their HTPC, so I'll start a poll on that.

Well that's new for me.

Here I run at 2 pc's with vista, uac on, not run mp as admin and it works like a charm (after giving the account under which mediaportal runs modify rights at the plugin directory)
