[WiP] 5154: MediaPortal 1 - x64 - SharpDX (3 Viewers)

[ajs]

Maybe less resources would be needed (or could be borrowed) to interface to TV Mosaic given it has already been done for MP 2 than to create an x64 TV Engine from the long out of of date existing x86 version currently in use?

We need a TV Client completely detached from the TV Server, in TVE3 this is not the case. In TVE3.5 I do not know, I have not found the actual source code. If it is untied in TVE3.5, it is not a problem to remake it for TV Mosaic. Or you have to write TV Client from scratch. But I am not able to write TV Client from scratch. If I used TV Server, I would write it, but I am not using it for at least 10 years and it does not make sense.

What was the procedure installing. Did you do recommended uninstall or full uninstall of TV server, did you install over existing TV server?

Install the x86 version of Media Portal and TV Server. Install x64 version of Media Portal and TV Client. That's it. TV Server is the same in both packages.

Did you use "BackupSettings" plugin?

No

Here's the only thing I found, how current the situation is here, I don't know. But at first glance, here TV Plugin is detached from the TV Server, so it can be reconfigured to TV Mosaic.

And I do not know how Argus TV works, perhaps that plugin can be adapted to Mosaic TV.

See https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp2-898-porting-mp2-to-net-6.140089/post-1293632 for information about TVE3.5 source codes and how we use them in MP2.

For MP2 I have created a complete abstraction over the used TV engine, that's why we can support TVE3 embedded, TVE3 client of standalone service, TVE3.5, TvMosaic. All interfaces are below "SlimTV" namespaces and all backends/connectors implement those interfaces.
This has the main advantage that we don't need to change the SlimTV.Client (this is the UI part in MP2), if we deal with other backends.

This was my solution to make TV access generic. If you want to implement similar flexibility, you should to the implementation of SlimTV.Client for MP1.

I watched. But it is still necessary to write a TV Plugin for MP1.

It's understandable. But. I am not an expert in C# and I find it difficult to assess the amount of work on porting this part to MP1, and I am not interested in TV part, I do not know why to use it. But maybe someone will be able to adapt it to MP1, then maybe I can help something. But from scratch I still can not make myself

I understand that SlimTV client, communicates with MP2 server, which in MP1 is not.

Attached is the error I get when trying to install

It looks like a problem with the Internet, the file either could not download or it was downloaded broken.
Try again. I just installed it on mine without any problems.
