[fixed] RC2: MCE Remote not working (2 Viewers)

[Mouch.net]

Ok, then I cancel fresh install...

Isn't it possible to check this issue, even if os is not supported. I know this means more work.
But it looks like there are some people using 2008 r2 and it was working fine until now.

PLEAAAAAAASE

replace to

More info: Correct detection of OS breaked the remote.

Others:
Workaround till RC3: just replace the provided dll

Would be nice if users gave some feedback after testing this.

This line was introduced in SVN 22998 to fix mantis 2278 0002278: Win7 - Microsoft MCE remote is not working - MediaPortal Bugtracker - possible (but unlikely) that modifying this could break something.

The problem is not related with mantis 2278. It was introduced at
Revision: 25144
Fixed mantis #0002747: Some operating systems are wrongly detected

Till then mediaportal was handling Windows 2008R2 the same as Windows 7.
Although it is very easy to test/implement the provided solution (because enum OSList is not used anywhere else except Remote class ), I can't follow the official procedure for patch subsistence, since 2008R2 is not supported.

I have contacted the developer who took care about 2747.

I am starting to wondering if it was a wise idea to allow upgrading of RC1 installations. Because users who allready have a slightly messed up system, wont make things better with the update.
And if you add not well working community plugins into the mix, things get out of control.

Much harder to pin point an issue.

Most people will go for a fresh installation anyway. At least i did, just to avoid the placebo effect of having a wrong upgrade process.

If one wants to be sure that his issue is clearly RC2 related and not something that went wrong during the upgrade then fresh installation is the way.

Sorry for being completely offtopic

to the guys who use Windows Server 2008 R2:
i´m using this os to stream tv to some clients, but having some major problems with suttering or total interrupt of tv/radio stream.
