Hi,
Updated 29th April with new build.
Here is the new thread following on from https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/call-for-tester-for-1-4-0-features-and-fixes.114566/
To install, extract the two rar files. Stop TV service manually (if using) and then run the mediaportal and then tvengine installers in that order. No need for the TV installer if you are not using TV.
This installer is current GIT master + the following fixes
- 0004354: [general] Unable to start MediaPortal on old Intel GPUs (tourettes) - ready for testing.
- 0003353: [MediaPortal 1] Windows 7 Half & Full Screen problem. (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0004104: [MediaPortal 1] Introduce an option to turn reduced speed GUI rendering off, when window is not active (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0002968: [general] Mute icon not shown after stopping playback (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0004080: [MediaPortal 1] Speed up starting process (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0004345: [Plugins] Race condition in Mini Display Plugin on Suspend/Resume events (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0003992: [Movie Player] When MP1 is put in the tray from fullscreen, playback continues (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0004084: [MediaPortal 1] Rework S3/S4 handling in regards to automatic resume (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0004334: [MediaPortal 1] Volume Handler gets destroyed/is unresponsive after disconnecting HDMI (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0004074: [Topbar] Navbar doesn't vanish when mouse cursor is hiding (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0004068: [general] Remove of S3 Hack (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0003942: [MediaPortal 1] Screen shifted up by 6 pixels upon resume from sleep (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0003993: [general] When switching from movie playback to the mini player GUI elements are wrong positioned. (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0004107: [Topbar] Mouse doesn't hide when activated the navbar and than an icon on basic home (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0003995: [Movie Player] Fullscreen/Windowed switch during playing results in wrong form dimensions (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0003994: [general] Mouse pointer not visible (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0004121: [Skin Engine] Compensate for different DPI settings than 100% in Skin Engine (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0003734: [MediaPortal 1] ToLower() method fails if Turkish culture is used in Windows (maybe some other countries as well) (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0003983: [MediaPortal 1] Add Functions in guilib create a Division by Zero Erro (Scythe42) - merge pending.
- 0004391: [TvPlugin] 'Play' button on remote does not start playback of TV or radio recordings (jameson_uk) - merge pending.
(this is an extra fix, but tested so no reason to not include it)
You can see a list of what is already in current GIT master for 1.4.0 here.
Scythe tells me that there are no show-stoppers with this build. That isn't the same as saying that it is perfect.
To be completely honest, all we really need to know is whether anything in this build doesn't work as well as 1.3.0. There are so many improvements that we would like to see make it into a release version. In order to do this, we need you to be focused in your testing. So, please don't nit-pick. Please don't report crazy and unrealistic usage scenarios. Please just focus on what is not working that did work (better) in 1.3.0. Or if there really is a show-stopper (crash) then do report it. We don't want to brush anything under the carpet, but equally well we don't want you to challenge yourself to break this by doing crazy stuff.
Please report all issues with this branch fully. Please restrict your testing/reporting to the above issues and things that could possibly be related. Please don't refer back to the old thread. If you see a problem that you had before, and reported before, please treat it as a new issue so that we keep this thread clean and focused.
That way, we can get the remaining issues fixed and merged so that this can be included in 1.4.0.
