[WiP] 5154: MediaPortal 1 - x64 - SharpDX (2 Viewers)

[catavolt]

Wouldn't it be better to have a separate thread for that ?

IMO it would be nice (and sufficient) to have an extra section in 1st post with all x-64 plugins so far

OnlineVideos and WorldWeatherLite packages moved to the first post.
From now all additional packages will be attached to the first post.

WorldWeatherLite package update:

• added MoonRise & MoonSet times (added lib CoordinateSharp.dll)
• fixed not showing condition icons
• remapped weather condition translations

I made a training.
Only few errors found :

It's beautifully done Pablik, and i don't need Browse the web to get my radar map.

I'm using the latest Weather from first post but it does not show the phase of the moon, whereas screenshots from others do show it.
Is the wind speed in m/s correct?
Also as you can most likely tell I am not at all familiar even with the original Weather plugin, can someone guide me on how to include and have displayed the various media options?

The error shows up sometimes upon start of the playback when madVR is in use when calling BeginScene on the Device. Actually this is not x64 SharpDX related. The error shows on x86 too just under different error log. Checked by my self.

It looks like an issue with language file. I see that 'strings_uk.xml' doesn't include moon phase words. What language are you using?
You can check the correct wind value by using provider url in web browser. The data format is xml.

Media images parameters:

• Enable: the image is processed if checkbox is checked

• URL: main url image - can by any image supported by MediaPortal including animated gif
• URL Background: just another image merged with main image as background
• URL Overlay: the same as Background but image is apllied on top of main image

Multimage: it is actually a sequence of individual images (similar to the gif). Some parameters can be passed to the url.

• Period: is the time period between each image (in mins)
• Safe period is time period substracted from current time before generating the first image url (in mins)
• MI: checkbox - when checked the image is considered as multiimage

Date time parameters for url:
