ajp8164_stage Build Release Thread (4 Viewers)

[ajp8164]

Hi MediaPortal aficionados

I maintain an svn build branch for MP and TVE3 at ajp8164_stage branch. This branch contains a number of (mainly) skin engine enhancements and bug fixes. Due to the timing of MP 1.1.0 release we have not been able to merge these changes into the main svn trunk. We hope that will occur following the release of 1.1.0. In the mean time, I maintain the ajp8164_stage branch through my own contributions as well as merging the main trunk changes into the branch (so, theoretically, the branch contains all approved community changes plus all of my enhancements following my update).

This thread is to make available a complete build of MP from the ajp8164_stage branch. I will update this post with new versions as I create them. The versions of MediaPortal posted here are Experimental Builds Only. Outside of this thread you should not expect to get any support from the MediaPortal team. When bugs are found in the enhancements I made I will fix them if you post here with enough information for me to recreate the bug. I will also receive enhancement requests in this thread but there are no guarantees (I'm the only one maintaining this branch) - bugs take priority.

Please see the documentation for my enhancements (this wiki page contains changes that others have documented, changes contributed by others may not be in the build posted here).

Available ajp8164_stage Builds:

• RC1++ build - MediaPortalSetup_1.1.0_SVN25261_2010-03-16-07-55.rar
• This build corrects problems that had fixes contributed to the trunk after I built the last version.

You may post questions, comments, or problems with the build in this thread. Please be sure to post the version you installed and, if it's a bug, how to recreate the problem.

Thanks,

Andy,

Tried your build. No succes. MP starts but shows only desktop. I will revert to previous version to keep my system running.
Perhaps I will try when Maya is finished.

I am sorry it's not working for you. Could you please do me a big favor (if able) and run it again in Debug-Mode (from the start menu) and then post the logs it creates. If there is a problem with the changes I made I'd like to have an opportunity to fix them.

Not much consolation but... I've been running the build I posted for several weeks without problem so I wonder if there is a setup or environmental condition I have not accounted for.

Hi Andy

Are there any specific skin-files needed in order to use the keyboard-osd? I mean, to enter text in a field.

I remember you did a skinnable keyboard, and when I call it nothing is shown on the screen (ie. using Global Search from My Music).

You need a skinfile stdKeyboard.xml, like this one (and 2 pngs: key.png and keyNF.png or similiar):

ajp8164
is there any chance that you release a patch file so that everybody is able to patch his own build?

Hi Andy, just tested your last release based on SVN 24657. Unfortunately the properties of "checkbutton" don´t work as expected. I used them e.g. for the skip step settings, they look great, BUT the values activated aren´t stored. Any ideas? And BIG for your efforts!

Where did you find a branch with his changes with 24657. I can only find this one:
WebSVN - MediaPortal - Log - Rev 24483 - /branches/ajp8164_stage/

and it is at 24483.
