Anyone know of a good resource to learn c#? I know i could search google for some tutorials but was hoping for some input on which one would be best. I would like to start helping out programming with MP but need to learn C# first.

    Also, get a book on the whole theory of OO programming.

    Most of all - practice. If there are examples in the book, type them out, compile them etc.
    Also, dont go jumping into the whole GUI programming, most books stick to text/console based apps - and even though this is boring, its is the important part. I spend 99% of my time writing code with no GUI at work.

    The best thing to do (especially if you are a hobbiest) is to pick a project, either small or large, that you are interested in and attack it. Look up things you don't understand in your book or the internet. The key here is interest. If you're in school, you're forced to learn these things. If you are learning on your own, this will quickly get boring.

    Then he would need to find a project that's not too advanced, no threading, no delegates, no ...
    And that's probably hard to find.

    I'd say a good way to learn a programming language is to start with some basic hello-world code, then advance to some small applications like an advanced calculator (with matrices, functions, graphs, ...) to practice loops and such.
    After that you could pick a project to workk on.

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

    If you’re planning to submit a pull request, let’s go through the list of issues and their solutions. I or someone from the team will create a Jira ticket, and for each ticket, you’ll make the changes and submit a pull request. This will be transparent and straightforward.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...
