    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.

    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.

    Thank you for pointing out that my analysis may be less than accurate. :eek: :p Although the change to TV channel 71 may not also have been applied to the independent radio channels (different MUXes), the logs that I prepared for one of the development team does show a difference between channel 704 ("BBC Radio 4") and channel 731...

    I haven't tested it. I use MP1, but sometimes I try to help with MP2 :).

    Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site. Thanks, N. Again, if anyone knows how to do this, would be much...
