Installation, Upgrade, Download and Feedback

Installing 1.2.3

When doing a clean installation of 1.2.3, then there is nothing special to worry about.

Upgrading from 1.2.0 final or 1.2.x to 1.2.3

Again, nothing to worry about, all 1.2.0/1.2.x extensions are compatible with 1.2.3. Smile

Upgrading from 1.2.0 Beta or RC to 1.2.3

If you are running MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta or RC, then all your installed extensions (plugins and skins) will continue to work after the upgrade to 1.2.3! 

Upgrading from 1.2.0 Alpha or earlier to 1.2.3

All MediaPortal installations starting with 1.1.0 RC1 can be upgraded to 1.2.3, without losing your settings.

If you are running MediaPortal 1.2.0 Alpha or earlier, then none of your extensions (plugins and skins) will work after the upgrade to 1.2.0! You must update your extensions after the upgrade!  So, please make sure that 1.2.0 compatible versions of your extensions are available before you start the upgrade!

General note about Upgrades

Manually stop TV-Service!
On some systems our installer is not able to update the TV-Server installation because its files are locked or the service can not be stopped. In 1.3.0 we will completely rework our Installer to take care of this problem once and for all.

For upgrades to 1.2.x we recommend you manually stop the TV-Service, and make sure, via Windows Task Manager (enable the "all users" option), that the TvService.exe process is really gone before starting to upgrade.
