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

Does the x64 version of WorldWeatherLite here also work with the x86 version of MP-1?

I think so, it's a plugin, it's probably built with AnyCPU, i.e. it's universal.

This is what I got when tried it on an x86 MP-1-
Maybe someone else could give it a try to confirm.

This exist since many years, it is a plugins control inside MP code.

The plugin is built as AnyCPU but uses DirectX Texture access (fullscreen view mode, GIF support), so the current version is SharpDX compatible only. I can provide Microsoft DirectX compiled version if needed.

That would be super, I will report back on how it goes.

We will most likely switch completely to Sharp DX in 1.32, both in x86 and x64.

That seems logical, will it mean it will be possible to release both a x86 and x64 versions in the same package as per MP-2? or will they still be separate installs?
Given how unreliable the original x86 MSN only World Weather Lite has become I think the new one here as a replacement, should not have to wait for 1.32 if there is not too much work involved in converting it to be compatible with the existing x86 MP-1

WorldWeatherLite package updated:

• fixed some minor bugs
• added "WorldWeatherLite.MP1.x86" to attached files in first post for those who needs this plugin in official MP1 x86 version

I don't see the point, why x86 when you have x64? It's 2023 year

@framug Tell me why you need 2 versions (x86/x64) of Mediaportal on one HTPC at once?
