Download Mediaportal 1.0 final

Today the final release of Mediaportal 1.0 has been released. With Mediaportal, a Windows machine can be used as the heart of the multimedia hardware in the living room. This makes it easy to listen to radio and music, watch videos and DVDs and record TV programs. By means of plugins and extensions, the functionality can be expanded and the ‘look & feel’ of the program can be adjusted. Version 1.0 includes a completely new and self-developed module called TV server, with which television can be viewed and recorded.

Another big change is the so-called Deploytool. This should make installing Mediaportal a lot easier. Deploytool ensures that the right modules are installed and it is also possible to choose a specific language. This does mean that an internet connection is required during installation. It is also recommended to start with a clean installation and not to upgrade from an older version. Below is an excerpt from the release notes for this release:

Installation notes:

If you have already installed a former release candidate of MediaPortal 1.0, you have to manually uninstall MediaPortal and TV-Server, before you launch the 1.0 final installer.

Please be aware that the MediaPortal 1.0 installer is a .NET Framework application. Because of that you must run it from your local hard disk and not from a network share.

If you want to keep your current settings, then please take a look at the related wiki article.

Please do not use community skins or plugins which are outdated, because this will cause problems. TV Server database:

As 1.0 is a milestone release including lots of changes, we would like to encourage everyone to do a clean installation.

You can export your current recording schedules, TV and radio channels by pressing the “export” button inside the TV-Server Configuration -> TV Channels.

Having finished the installation you can use the “import” button in the very same section to restore the exported data. Change logs:
