Windows 8.1 support? (3 Viewers)

[Holzi]

Here we go for a build 1.4.0Final based on Windows 8.1 Preview : -->> HERE <<--

Do you think this needs an extra jira entry or is there maybe already one?
Testing reports seem positive so far.

I think we need Jira entry and because Version number are for Preview and i'm pretty sure it will not work for 8.1 Final.
I just add in code this magic number supply by Scythe42

Okay, so it is better to wait for Final?

Anyone else using a network drive for storage that no longer works with windows 8.1 and this version of MP? Everything was working fine, I stupidly installed this MP after win 8.1. All my network drives work fine, and can browse, write to the folder, play old media files. But when I try and browse to my network share (as before, not the mapped drive but the network share), I get 'Windows cannot access '<share>''. It will access it periodically. I have checked my login settings for the service and am using the same username (admin) to launch the service as before when it was working (though I tried other users as well). My log files have the following error:

[2013-07-30 02:20:13,676] [Log	] [13	  ] [INFO ] - Controller: delete timeshift files \\SPIKE\RecordedTV\live2-0.ts
[2013-07-30 02:20:13,680] [Log	] [13	  ] [ERROR] - Exception  :System.IO.IOException: The parameter is incorrect.

  at System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(String path, String searchPattern, SearchOption searchOption)
  at System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(String path)
  at TvService.CardReservationBase.CleanTimeShiftFiles(String folder, String fileName)

I can't tell for certain if this is an IO or Mediaportal error. I don't have these problems when i browse through windows explorer.

Windows 8.1 RTM is out. Is there anything holding back to upgrade my windows 8 pro htpc to 8.1? Does anybody already did the upgrade?
Thanks.

I upgraded to the RTM and have no problems so far

Hmmm I upgraded to RTM and Mediaportal refused to run at all!

Hmmm I upgraded to RTM and Mediaportal refused to run at all!

What error msg, where are the logs?

 

[Adam86]

I restored my install back from a backup taken prior.

Mediaportal just refused to run, and the config said it was not supported.

Might give it another try again when I get a chance.

Ok, found the answer on the mp web page under support os:

• Windows 8 32- and 64-bit (as of v1.3.0)
• Windows 8.1 32- and 64-bit (as of v1.5.0)

Must upgrade to 1.5 then install win 8.1.
