MediaPortal 1.4

Post by thekiwi » Fri Jul 26, 2013 10:24 pm

Has anyone installed Argus with Mediaportal 1.4? Was wanting to upgrade my multiseat setup but not sure if Argus will work with 1.4.

Cheers

Craig

I'm running two clients one has 1.3 the other 1.4, no problems with either. I am having to use the Titan skin for now because StreamedMP didn't play nice, now I'm used to it, I'm thinking of sticking to it.

If you're worried, I'd seriously recommend a system backup. I'd actually recommend a proper scheduled backup regardless, it's absolutely essential for an HTPC IMO. There's nothing worse than that disapproving stare at the back of your head while you try desperately to fix something.
You can fix it, or you can fix it until it's broken. I usually choose the latter.

Server: WHS 2011. Hauppauge HVR 2200. Avermedia A835. ArgusTV Server. EPG Collector.
Clients: Win7 64bit. MediaPortal. ArgusTV Client. StreamedMP.

Haha, you got that right!! And I agree, having a backup that you can roll back to at the click of a button is the only way to go. I use Acronis, which I have found to be faultless.

Windows Home Server does my backups. Automatic incremental backups every night for the main client in the lounge, manual backups for the bedroom for obvious reasons.
The bare metal restore is AWESOME, bung in the USB stick select the machine and desired backup, and in well under 30 minutes you're running.

I've also used the standard Windows backup system with pretty good success.
