MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC3 RELEASED!

Here it is, MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC3.

In this release we again managed to fix several nasty issues, such as memory leaks. These fixes have increased the stability of the entire application even more.

We also made a small change which will make reporting bugs or posting support request threads a LOT easier for our great community.

Important changes since 1.1.0 RC2:

  • [reworked] reporting bugs is now a lot easier
  • [fixed] upgrade of Tv-Server can result in a crash
  • [fixed]several issues which could prevent an upgrade or a clean installation
  • [fixed] Stopping video playback can cause crash to desktop
  • [fixed] several memory leaks
  • [fixed] Animations using conditional visibility
  • [fixed] MyVideos reloads the contents of a folder when stoping playback (which could cause that MP does not respond for quite a time)
  • [fixed] last.fm lookup creates a lot of temp files which are not deleted
  • [fixed] Some H264 recordings do not play
  • [fixed] Pulse and Loop animations do not work
  • [fixed] tvservice would sometimes hard crash when writing dx error to log
  • [fixed] TeVii issues with graph building and very long tuning using diseqc
  • [fixed] RTSP streaming doesn't work after sleep, when re-init TVService is enabled
  • [fixed] Unable to tune same ATSC channel/subchannel consecutively
  • [fixed] stream interuptions/stuttering
  • [fixed] Weekly schedules appear 1 (or more) day off in EPG when using SQLServer with certain regional settings

Skin Designers should review the list of Skin Changes since 1.0.1 - while Plugin Developers should take a look at the newly created Code Changes page.
There were some changes done which require Extensions (Skins and Plugins) to update, to be fully 1.1.0 RC3 compatible.

The team would like to thank everyone who submitted patches and great bug reports!

Installation notes:

MediaPortal 1.1.0 RCx installed:

  • The installer will allow you to simply "upgrade" to 1.1.0 RC3.
  • Please also update your extensions (skins and plugins) to their latest version right after you installed 1.1.0 RC3!

MediaPortal 1.0.x or 1.1.0 ALPHA/BETA installed:

  • these installations can not  be upgraded to 1.1.0 RC3
  • these installations will be uninstalled
      (No data will be lost, you will find MediaPortal_backup and TV-Server_backup folders which contain the plugins, skins and user files of the 1.0.x installations)
  • refer to the Upgrade Guide if you are moving from an existing MediaPortal installation, older than 1.1.0 RC1.
  • a present TV-Server database will be upgraded and can be reused
  • do not reuse any skins, plugins, databases or configuration files from MediaPortal 1.0.x or 1.1.0 ALPHA/BETA with this Release Candidate!

Testing and bug reporting:

 

To ensure that 1.1.0 final is as bug free as possible, we need your help!  
Please take your time to test this RC3 carefully and report bugs you found in our related Bug Report forums.

Please do not post results of 1.1.0 RC 3 testing anywhere else.

Please follow the Bug Report guidelines when reporting issues. If you don't, then the bug report will not help our developers and it will be removed to keep the forums clean.  

Help with Development:

 

If you are a developer, then you can help us to make MediaPortal 1.1.0 a great release. You can post your bug fixes directly in the dedicated ::Submit Patches forum:: . Our developers will review and add them to SVN once approved.

Please be aware that we do not accept new feature patches for 1.1.0 because we are in a feature freeze.

SVN-Testbuilds (SVN Snapshots)

The team decided that we will not offer any SVN-Test builds before the release of 1.1.0 final. Instead, we will release RC versions of MediaPortal 1.1.0 in a short cycle.   

The road to 1.1.0 final

 

Our release target for 1.1.0 final is Summer 2010. An earlier release might be possible, depending on the amount of help we receive from the community.  

Extensions (Plugins and Skins)

Before you upgrade to MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC3, you must check if there are compatible versions available of the Extensions (Skins and Plugins) you use.

If not, then the old versions might nolonger work and you need to wait for updated versions.

Finally the installer

A short notice before installing: Please do not use this RC3 on a productive system. It is pretty stable but might still contain some glitches. ;)
