1 thing I still don't know it's normal, when switching cards, my mediaportal program will minimize to tasktray and when switching is done, mp will go fullscreen automaticaly again. This behaviour I have for as long I can remember, TV keeps working but it looks not so professional that my desktop is shown between switching cards for about 15-20 secs.

i have the same to :-(

Please check the MP log if exclusive mode gets disabled and then enabled during the zapping. This could cause the desktop to be shown. Also you could test i it helps to have two settings enabled 1) MP always on top 2) hide taskbar

i have exclusive mode disabled and evr enabled (vista)

Ok, then someone who has Vista should try to debug that issue

this has nothing to do with exclusive mode. it is a vista issue. i do have a rather rude workaround for it, if anyone is interested. but this is not in a commitable shape, because it touches the MP core and may cause other issues (though it works pretty well for me).

I'm interested to test this. Can you give details on how to do this? Will the chance be easily reversible if it causes other issues?

TS works, but not possible to delete the TS-Files with Mediaportal

I have seen this in recent SVNs. Basically, if you play a recording, stop it and try to delete, nothing happens.

However, if you play recording A, stop it, play recording B (or live TV), and then try to delete recording A, then it deletes fine.

It seems that even though you have stopped playback, the file is still flagged as being in use.

This is a fairly recent bug.

you just need to replace two files (Mediaportal.exe and Core.dll) in your installation. you can easily revert them by making a backup first, or just install an svn snaphot again.

I can upload those files in the evening for you - and if you are interested, you can have the sources too.

Great! I'm experiencing the same problem with desktop showing. I'd like to test those files

Me too, but please give us the sourcecode (patch.diff) of svn..
Thanks!
