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


    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 :)

    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:

    Code:
    [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.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
      at System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String path, String userPathOriginal, String searchPattern, Boolean includeFiles, Boolean includeDirs, SearchOption searchOption)
      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 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.

    you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

    Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...
