Ability to run multiple instances of plugin? (1 Viewer)

[lexx_kun]

Would you mind providing more detailed instructions?

2. Put the dll in the usual place.
where?
3. Fire up the configuration for the MP-AnimeSeries and point it at the copied database from step 1.
copying this database, is this just a straight windows filecopy you mean, to a different folder?
4. In the skin folder of your choosing, copy the TvSeries.xml file to AnimeSeries.xml
...?
5. Change 9811 to 9812
....?
6. Enjoy

sorry, i was tired when I typed that up and ended up typing it 3 times.

1. To be safe, backup your current TvSeries database. Open up the configure application for the TvSeries plugin, in top right corner of the dialog it will tell you where the current database is. After making a backup, make a copy of the database file into the same directory, and rename it to whatever you wish, possibly MPAnimeSeriesdb.db3
2. Put the dll in the usual place. (such as C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\Windows). It will be the same place as the TVSeries dll.
3. Fire up the configuration for the MP-AnimeSeries and point it at the copied database from step 1 ie: MPAnimeSeriesdb.db3
4. In the skin folder of your choosing, copy the TvSeries.xml file to AnimeSeries.xml. For instance for aeon it's C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\AeonWide\TvSeries.xml -> copy/paste/rename -> C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\AeonWide\AnimeSeries.xml
5. Open the newly created AnimeSeries.xml file and go to what should be 2 or 3 lines down <id>9811</id> and change it to <id>9812</id> save and close.

am sorry to say that i get a glaring error on both of my MP client computers ...
it occurs when the configuration module tries to update from thetvdb.com

"Failed to locate assembly 'ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib, Version=0.85.4.369, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1b03e6acf1164f73'.
Note that the configuration program must be executed from/reside in the MediaPortal folder, the execution will now end."

for information, i'm not trying to use it for anime as already discussed, but simply to separate the cartoons from TV shows for the kids.

one client MP 1.0.0.0 RC2, another 0.2.3.0 ... centralised database and file structure ...

any help would be greatly appreciated .. or if anyone needs more info please ask.

thanks

thanks

I'm also getting this error, but i don't know how to repair it, i was trying to look for error an fix but not lucky.

¿Anybody finally make it works?

I found that what caused this problem for me was a skin that I installed had installed a newer SVN version of MP-TVseries, which broke it as far as playing nicely with the non-SVN version of MediaPortal. Maybe that'll help.

I'm guessing the copy of the plugin is not compatible with the latest SVN/MediaPortal 1.01. Maybe Tahngarth can make one based on the latest SVN of MPTVseries? The idea is really sweet!!

Tried copying the old file from my 1.0 backup folder, but this didn't work. Shame, now it shows the series, but can't download any info about them.

Followed step 1 & 2. Once I try to configure the plugin, I get this error:

Running a fairly clean setup consisting of:

Mediaportal 1.0.0.0
MP-TVSeries-2.1.3331
Monochrome 2.6
moving-pictures-0.7.2
Vista Ultimate x64

Any ideas? Let me know if you need the entire exception spam.

Tried a clean setup of MediaPortal 1.0, not the SVN, tahngarts copy and the latest stable mp tv-series. Still getting the ICSharp error
I was wondering, do you NEED a different skin file ID? Isn't a different database all you need? The skin file could remain the same or am I thinking too simple?
