3rd party plugins not working anymore (2 Viewers)

[mcrob83]

Hi,

I've compiled a new svn some minutes ago and what did I have to see?
With svn27644 some of my plugins are not working anymore, in svn 27600 they did.
Is there a way to pass that query over? Especially for me as 4TR user an important question.
edit: We'll have to stay at 27642 instead, upto there this feature hasn't been implemented.

You will have to wait that authors make compatible versions for newest SVN, they are aware of this.

MEDIAPORTAL - Status of MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta

Changes in MP 1.2.0 beta require that all extensions are updated.
In addition to these changes, the new plugin compatibillity check was introduced, which gives us the possibility to handle incompatible plugins in the future.

You are running an SVN build, expect things to break/change

Is there a chance that very old plugins can be made compatible, like the old externaldisplay.dll I used for nearly 2 years? The binary wasn't updated since 2008. MiniDisplay never worked for me on my Antec Fusion case. ExternalDisplay has the advantage that no IMON software needs to be installed.

If source is available it could be done relatively easy.

If you have a link to these 3 dependencies: I could recompile a version I guess:
Interop.GIRDERLib
LibDriverCoreClient
TVCapture

Hmm... where can I get those "dependencies"? I am sorry, for now I am only able to compile Mediaportal thanks to the manual that was posted on the website but the needed recompilations are a new challange I have to cope with.

EDIT: I searched though the forum and it seems the plugin was part of the normal Mediaportal svn some time ago and it was replaced with the MiniDisplay-plugin. The normal Mediaportal installer deletes the externaldisplay-plugin everytime it finds it.

Yes, last appearance was for MP 1.0.0. RC3. (I got all dlls except TVCapture which was I presume part of the old TV engine).

Interop.GIRDERLib
LibDriverCoreClient

you can find those also in current MP.

So this is somehow complicated, you need to fetch that old SVN source, compile to get TVCapture dll then extrude source for that plugin as new project and referenced all MP core dlls to the current ones. Do no if it will work like that.

If someone have that TVCapture.dll to post here I can try that (somehow I'm too lazy to fetch all old MP source )

How about this? Extracted from Mediaportal 1.0.
