MediaPortal TvEngine3 plugin WWW

[lar282]

it wont work if XL is started, and the F2 in XL wont work either. U need to edit the XmpTv.xml and change the
<section name="TvEngine3">
<entry name="hostname">192.168.0.9</entry>

AND port 6666 needs to be open. Are u having the server and XL client on the same machine?


post the Xlobby\log\XmPTv.log here please

Hi Lasse,

I have it all working now! Even have the software changing channels on the stb.
I used the schedules direct plug-in, and the new ir suite with tve3 blaster.

I just have 2 more questions.
1. As far as the tvguide.xml file, the schedules direct plug-in doesn't let you change where it places the file. so is there an easy way to keep both directories synchronized?

2. I need to come up with a skin to match Baddabings HTCC_CF skin. I tried using a copy of your skin with renamed images from my skin, cleared the cache in media portal, but nothing changed

Thanks again for this great plug-in !

Brian

1:/have a bat file to copy both files
2: TRY to delete the packedgfx*.png in the skin dir. I do not knwo to much about skinning in mp. I do know that XL is soooo much better and easier to skin. I don't think I can help u out if it doesn't work unless u send me the replaced images, then I can try some here.

Hi Lasse,

Wow! You weren't kidding about skinning Media Portal,what a PITA !
But I now have a skin that very closely matches Baddabing's HTCC_CF skin.
My wife and kids like it.

How do I find info on how to make a batch file? I have never worked with them before, but I would like to learn.


Thank you,
Brian

just create a schedule task that runs everyday and point to a bat file

REM---start bat file
copy /Y "c:\Fullpatch_to_you_xml_file\TvGuide.xml" "c:\destPath\xlobby\xmltv\TvGuide.xml"
REM ----END bat file

Hi Lasse,

My family and I have been using your plugin for a while now and love it.
I do have one last question. Is it possible to get the mouse pointer to show in mediaportal?
It sure would make navigation easier.
I looked for a while but didn't find a setting for this.


Thank you,
Brian

Thats a setting in mediaportal if I remember correctly. Open configuration.exe and look under the first few tabs. should be an entry about the mouse.

RC2 is out and I will upload it when I get back from my vacation.
Works like a charm so far.

Brian

[lar282]

Hey Lasse,
How's that RC 3 working?

Brian

[lar282]

just fine. Trying to upload it to the xlobby server but it fails all the time...Gonna try some more during the day

I think I managed to upload the Update_Pack.zip
http://www.xlobby.com/files/Shaggy/MpTv ... e_Pack.zip
Hopefully its not corrupt. Somehing is fishy when I upload to the xlobby servern.

WARNING: This update will erase your tvserver settings. export and write down all your settings in tvserver cause they will be lost:

unpack and edit the update_all.bat file and see that the paths are correct for YOU.

execute the update_all.bat


NOTE: This update pack will only work if u installed from the first post in this thread.:NOTE

NOTE2: Some user i the MP forum has reported that the tvservice does not like hibernate/resume well. Seems like this little application solves this issue.

Hi Lar,

Thank you for uploading the new update.
I think that the upload is corrupted somehow.
Here is my install log

install_0.9.2.19931_2008-08-21_18-51-06.log

(1.25 KiB) Downloaded 673 times

If you look at the setup.exe section there are errors. When I try to enter the TV Server config program a UNC.libs error pops up and says setup.exe must be located inside team mediaportal directory.

Edit: Please disregard this post. Problem fixed.


Thank you,
Brian

Hi Lasse,

Just wanted to say thanks for posting the update.
It works better than the last version, I have a mouse pointer now! That makes my wife very happy.


Thank's
