Hi everyone, I'm new here. I recently discovered Media Portal (via a PCPlus cover disc) and I'm interested in trying to help out if I can.

Every reference I've seen to the source code size says its around 65 MB. However, I just checked out a copy using the instructions here: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/mpwiki/MediaPortalDevelopment/MediaPortalSVN

and the copy I ended up with is 1.28 GB! Even the trunk folder is 221 MB.

Is this correct?

The URL in that image is wrong. It has to be

Code:
https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mediaportal/trunk/mediaportal
 

infinite.loop

    if you read the instructions, you will notice step5

    Note: Latest sources are located in the /trunk/mediaportal folder. All other files are old and only stored as reference.

    I have added the url in step3 and i will upload a new image tomorrow.

    I just downloaded a freah copy of the source directory: trunk/MediaPortal and 66.20MBs were transfered, with a folder size of 159MB at the end (because SVN uses compression when downloading the source).

    Edit:

    Just downloaded trunk/mediaportal_gfx: 31.27MBs transfered, 62MBs on disk.

    So I'd say 221MBs for the trunk is about right (159 + 62).

    Not sure where the other 1GB came from tho.

    I've just downloaded the source code with TortoiseSVN and the size is 159Mb in my disk... I can't find the trunk directory :?

    Thats because you downloaded under the trunk directory. You don't need a trunk directory and in most cases shouldn't have one.
