download:
Download the zip file here
It will also be available in the download section (not as MPI, find the zip!).

installation:

- Fixed missing SBS regexes by rewriting SBSGemist regexes to support the changed weblayout of SBS6
- Added an additional algorithm to RTLGemist to find the latest emissions around
- Known bug: Some RTL emissions can't be loaded. This is unfortunately unfixable until RTL cleans up their code It is however handled gracefully when you click on an unavailable emission (ex: Heroes/Las Vegas/...)

2.0

- Rewritten big parts of the code by introducing Serie and Episode model classes
- Created SBS skin files and images for BT, BT Wide and PM3

1.3.1

- Fixed paginated emissions being loaded with mutiple page numbers
- Fixed URL stream data not being flushed after use

1.3

- Fixed favorites not being saved properly
- Fixed must-see images not being shown (wrong link to image)
- Fixed emissions not being shown when a field (like date or description) is unavailable
- Added custom Project Mayhem 3 images (thnx bloasfist!)

1.2
- Fixed incomplete emission list in uitzendinggemist
- Added option to hide DRM emissions in rtlgemist.
- Improved navigation of uitzendinggemist. Pressing OK while on a selectbutton (Titel, Genre, Omroep, ...) brings you to the list of emissions

1.1

- Fixed favorites page for RTLgemist and NLGemist
- Fixed bug with navigation path in RTLGemist
- Added XFace skin (thanks emphyrio!)
- Renamed project to TVGemist

1.0
- Removed support for Tien Gemist
- Added series and films to RTL Gemist. I have tried viewing DRM series or films (everything has DRM, except GTST), which will give you (as in your browser) a popup screen that asks you to call a number. I do not know whether these streams will work when you make call. I hate the fact that DRM makes debugging very expensive You could try though, it would probably work.
- Changed filenames of images, settings and skin files. They now all start with tvgemist_. Just to organize, but you can also delete the plugin easier (if you'd really want to, of course )
- Selecting VMR9 indeed doesn't seem to work. the plugin described at WindowsMediaPlayerOSD process plugin. - MediaPortal Forum will however give you OSD for seeking in the stream (After install, check it first in the Configuration).
- g_player.Play(url) > g_player.PlayAudioStream(url, true)
- Navigation path for RTL Gemist
- Modified (improved is a big word) the UI for BlueTwo and BlueTwo Wide. The MPI does not contain skin files for other skins yet. However, since the UI is very simple, you can use these for other skins. By deleting the hover_tvgemist.png file from the Media directory you can prevent the blue BlueTwo icon from being shown.

[moiristo]

This version requires 0.2.2SVN, I'll release a 0.2.2 version today.

[CriMsoN]

Great! I wondered why the v2 plugin didnt work for me (neither RTL/UitzendingGemist) this weekend.
Using 0.2.2, so happily awaiting your recompiled plugin

Keep up the good work!

[moiristo]

A dll for MP 0.2.2 can now be found in the release directory..I don't know for sure whether I've done it right, so it might still be wrong

[CriMsoN]

Not @ home right now... Will try it later tonight and report! Thanx for the adjustments so far!

[Xin]

Great, it works now ! Thank you.

[CriMsoN]

Forgot to report... But yes, it works very very well!

I've tried this plugin but I only get empty screens (menu on the left appears but doenst function) when I open "uitzendinggemist" or "RTLgemist" in the menu of the plugin.

I've copied over the old uitzendinggemist plugin, all the files are overwritten so that shouldn't be a problem would it?

Is this a known problem?

[moiristo]

Actually, it isn't Please check the following:

- Are you using MP 0.2.2, but using the 0.2.2SVN plugin dll instead (or the other way around)?
- Have you replaced the uitgemist skin files with the latest versions?

If this doesn't help, please check your logfile for errors and post it here, then I'll see what I can do.

[Vulture]

I have the same problem.
I installed a completely new Mediaportal 0.2.2 (on a pc that had never MP installed), installed the Uitzending gemist plugin and get the same problem.
also I get a .net error when trying to configure the plugin in the setup program.
