Check out Source Control

[herman]

I have two questions, any help or guidance will be appreciated.

Question 1:
--------------
When I try to check out the MediaPortal software from the sourceforge serv4er (using WinCVS) I get the following error:

cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to cvs.sourceforge.net:2401 failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

I got the connection details from the user manual. Is the detail in the manually correct and does it work?

The manual said the CVSRoot is: <:pserver;username=anonymous;hostname=cvs.sourcefo rge.net:/cvsroot/mediaportal>

Question 2:
--------------

I want to make a plugin that monitor when a recording was stopped (by the scheduler or manually) and them do some work on the recording.

Where can I find some sample code plugin to do this? I have downloaded a number of plugins but all of them are GUI Plugins.

Should my plugin be a Process plugin? How will I go about to get the events once a recording was stopped?


Kind Regards
Herman

I believe MediaPortal now uses SVN, not CVS. The information you have is probably out of date.

You can get some information on the SVN repository here: http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=107397

CVS is no longer used, we switched to SVN some time ago.
Get TortoiseSVN (which is a free download)
and then get the sources from

http://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/m...nk/mediaportal

Thanks so much. I can download now.

And if your plugin will not have a user interface accessible via a 10-foot interface, then you should use a process plugin. Easiest way to develop one would be to edit an existing one.

As for knowing when a recording finishes - I suggest you add a handler to the GUIMessage event like this:

GUIWindowManager.Receivers += new SendMessageHandler(ProcessPlugin.OnMessage);

Do replace ProcessPlugin.OnMessage with the appropriate function to execute.

Look in the GUIMessage.cs file in the Core\guilib folder in VS2005 to work out which messages you want to catch.

I can download MediaPortal project files, but is such an effort.

Everytime, after downloading a number of files I get the following error:

"REPORT request failed on '/snvroot/mediaportal/!svn/vss/default'
REPORT of '/svnroot/mediaportal/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read response body: Secure connection truncated (https://svn.sourceforge.net)"

When I download again it continues where it left off the previous time. But after a while the same error appears. I am sure I had to start the download process more than a 100 times.

Is this normal? I am using TortoiseSVN 1.4.0 build 7501.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

I am getting the same error as well. Although it appears to have completed downloading.

I'm consistently getting the same error, ie:

Updated: C:\Work\MediaPortal\xbmc\bin\Release\skin\BlueTwo wide\mymusicplaylist.xml
Added: C:\Work\MediaPortal\xbmc\bin\Release\skin\BlueTwo wide\Sounds\click.wav
Error: REPORT request failed on '/svnroot/mediaportal/!svn/vcc/default'
Error: REPORT of '/svnroot/mediaportal/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read response body: Secure connection truncated (https://svn.sourceforge.net)

It's always on the same file, and won't proceed beyond there. Any ideas?

And as soon as I posted the message it worked - go figure.

I'd tried about 20 odd times yesterday, and 4 or 5 times this morning with exactly the same error. Post one message here, and suddenly it works

It's magic!
