Any way to MP running with the 8.1 release preview? It doesn't run at all for me even in compatibility mode.

Hi Team,
I am in the same boat, please find attached watchdog logs.
If possible would be nice to get mediaportal working again as bugs are better then no mediaportal for me :)
And appears the only way to remove 8.1 currently is to re-install windows, which I would prefer not to do.
Let me know if there is any way I can help, and thanks again.

    Answer is pretty clear in the log files:
    [2013-06-27 21:52:51,182] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - *******************************************
    [2013-06-27 21:52:51,199] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - * ERROR, OS can't be used for MediaPortal *
    [2013-06-27 21:52:51,199] [Error ] [MPMain ] [ERROR] - *******************************************

    Running is blocked. This would require a code change.

    What's the exact windows version? (Maybe you can run "winver" and capture a screenshot?)
    According to code, only window 8 RTM is supported now. It will require code change as said before...

    Should probably be set to "not supported" instead of "blocked", and @Game_dude should volunteer to QA it ;)

    I guess M$ changed a bunch of stuff in 8.1. I thought 8.1 would have been like a service pack where you could still run previous programs with out any problems.

    it's not that it's necessarily incompatible it's that MP looks at the windows version and says I don't know what this is, I am not even going to try;)[DOUBLEPOST=1372362828][/DOUBLEPOST]mediaportal 1.4.1 ? :p

    When I tested MP 2.5 some months ago using TVE3.5, I found that "scan for channels" failed to find any channels when I selected a DVB-T2 tuner (a TBS 6284) :(, but succeeded when I used a DVB-T tuner (a Pinnacle 2000i) :). Obviously the Pinnacle found only those channels broadcast in DVB-T MUXes (in the UK we have both DVB-T MUXes and...

    I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled. I did it this way so I didn't have to edit the channel names every time tested a new TV-server install. Anyway, it works. I don't know if this would get you past the BDA driver issue. I'll provide more...
