Just a stupid question from someone only a few weeks with MP. ;)

Can I just install RC2 and it updates from my previous RC1 or do I have to deinstall the other one first ?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi!

    I think it uninstalls old version before it can start to install rc2 but if you look at the release note you should probably unistall manually because of a bug in the unistallation process: MEDIAPORTAL - free MediaCenter HTPC Software - MediaPortal / TV-Server 1.0 RC2 released!

    It says this:
    During our tests we had noticed that in some cases the uninstallation of a running TV-Server might fail. We will try to fix that for the RC3 release.
    To avoid issues we recommend that you manually uninstall MediaPortal and/or the TV-Server before you launch the RC2 installer.

    I have an additional question to 'upgrading': Is is possible to keep the recorded programs in the appropriate list in the MediaPortal app (TV > Recordings)? And will my scheduled recordings still be in the DB, or do I have to reschedule?

    If you copy your recordings from the recording directory to a safe place (safe meaning a folder not related to mediaportal) then you can uninstall mp and then install the new version and then copy back your recordings to mp's recording folder and then go into tv-server configuration/recording settings/database import and then your're recently added files to the recording directory can be imported and after that they will show up in recorded tv. About the scheduled recordings I don't know.

    Thanks for the tip! Rescheduling is not a big issue, but finding recordings is, so :D

    Hi, I'll move this into an own thread under "feature requests". I like the idea, but I think we can currently not implement this with further changes. I've checked the models and there are no variables, that could be easily called.

    Hello, I read some previous posts but I didn't understand if someone did it or worked on it. I'd like to ask you if there will be the chance to interface the MP-TV series plugin with TMDB also. I don't say to eliminate the chance to keep data from TVDB, but at least the option to choose to switch to TMDB or (why not?) other sources.
