Update to 1.0.1 THEN FTR 1.3.3 - BIG mistake (1 Viewer)

[dir]

I just did a simple install from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 of MP. I don't use SVN versions.

Since I was running FTR 1.3.2 I thought I'd update it at the same time. I ran the update to FTR 1.3.3.

Now when I try to enter MP's Configuration utility, it tells me that I'm running mismatched versions -

TvPlugin and MediaPortal don't have the same version.
Please update the older component to the same version as the newer one.
MpConfig Version: 1.0.1.22344
TvPlugin Version 1.0.0.0

I then tried running just the TVServer 1.0.1 update from within the MP 1.0.1 installation temp directory, which worked fine and I can once again enter the config utility.

However, if I try to run the TVServer Configure utility and go to plugins and click on the ForTheRecord plugin, I get

Failed to locate assembly 'Gentle_Framework, Version =1.2.9.1286,
Culture=neutral, etc. etc.

I'm burying myself deeper and deeper and now afraid to try anything.

I really REALLY don't want to lose my MP configuration - it takes about 8 hours to re-create. PLEASE don't suggest that I "simply" reinstall MP or do a "clean install". That's not an option!

There were some changes after the 1.0.0 MP release that require new FTR dll's as well. They are listed on the FTR forum.

Same with the TvPlugin version error. There were new "dummy" plugins posted on the FTR forum for each SVN version shortly after each release. I was not yet there to see if the 1.0.1 dummy plugin is there or not.

Will check the FTR forums.

In the meantime here's a running log of my work. Will clean it up and post the answer here once I've got it to make it useful for others.


Tried the following:
Uninstalled FTR 1.3.3
Uninstalled MP 1.0.1 TVServer only.
Installed MP 1.0.1 TVServer only.
Ran the TVServer config util and noted that it still shows FTR 1.3.3 plugin installed. Unticked it and exited.
Noted that FTR 1.3.3 has not completely uninstalled - there are dozens of files still in c:\program files\For The Record.
Deleted all those.
Checked c:\program files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\Plugins and found 5 or 6 ForTheRecord files in there, all dated April 1. All other files in this directory were dated April 11th. Shut down TVService and deleted these files.

Re-entered the TVServer config util; now there's no FTR listed in available plugins.

Ran FTR 1.3.3 installation program again.

Re-entered TVServer config util; the FTR 1.3.3. plugin is listed. Enabled it. Clicked on it and get same error again.

No progress.

This is the steps that should be done imo:
Install MP & TVServer 1.0.1
Install FTR 1.3.3

Get the updated FTR assemblies for the TVServer.
At this stage you should be able to configure the plugin in TVServer without crash.

Get the dummy TVPlugin dll for MP Client.
Client TV should now also work.

Will really need to wait for a true 4tr version for 1.0.1 but in the mean time I have attached an archive with the 4tr files that will work with 1.0.1. This is basiclly the set released for SVN 22162 with a version of the dummy TvPlugin.dll versioned to 1.0.1.

There is a txt file included but to install.

Stop TvService and the 4TR services
Copy over the DLL files into Mediaportal/plugins/windows and Mediaportal Tv Server/plugins
Restart all services

Cheers

Here's a giggle. I've been running MP stably for months and months and only tonight was bored and thought I'd see if there's a new version of MP out. I found and installed MP1.1Beta and then remembered that I should get the latest StreamedMP, ForTheRecord, and other staples. I installed FTR 1.4.0.1, and BANG ran into the same problem - I can't run MP Configuration app any more or run MP at all. I'll have to wait for the FTR guys to create updated dll files. Oh well, my bad!
