Suggestion: Put the tutorial up in the Wiki. There's a few minor errors in it, and it could've been easily fixed right away

Hi!

I tried your tutorial and it does not work!
The Plugin is not listed in configuration. I used the first tutorial code ( copy&paste -> compiled ).....any ideas???

I am using SVN from today.

Ok, i found the error!!

Line 53:

Code:

        // get ID of windowplugin belonging to this setup
        public int GetWindowId()
        {
            return 5678;
        }

change to:

Code:

        // get ID of windowplugin belonging to this setup
        public int GetWindowId()
        {
            return 0;
        }

[/code]

I'd suggest you choose a number other than 0 - the window id is important, especially for GUI plugins. Try not to choose one that's in use already - you can do trial and error or use the skin files for guidance.

If you do choose one that's in use, you should get a runtime error or a log entry; it should still compile.

The problem is, if there is no XML-Skin file for this id, its not listed in the configuration dialog.

And this is importent for new developers. The first time, i thought i made an mistake.

Thank you TNDAri. I have looked through the code so many times, but now I know.

EDIT: What does it mean if I get "'OurPlugin.Class1.GetID': no suitable method found to override"?

Hi
Just been attempting to download MediaPortal sources as per instructions under "How to write a plugin for MediaPortal"
Have installed WinCvs with Python and copied all info into boxes _ Copied and pasted from web the address for CVSROOT so that should be correct.

When I click ok I get following message in WinCvs

cvs -d :pserver;username=anonymous;hostname=cvs.sourcefor ge.net:/cvsroot/mediaportal checkout -P -- mediaportal (in directory C:\mediaportal)

THEN

***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

So appears to complete download except when I open the C/mediaportal folder there is nothing in it

Any suggestions what is happening here ?

Thanks Mike

MediaPortal moved to SVN from CVS.

Link Bram posted earlier in this thread to the wiki:

HI
Have downloaded the mediaportal source ok and have C# express edtion. Believe I saw somewhere that I also need the DIRECTX SDK for portal skin plug in.

If so can anyone tell me if the very latest Version (V10 ) just released will be OK as I think I read somewhere it doesnt support WindowsXP - or should I get Directx 9c ?

Thanks
