You can also check this thread about more info on the "TVE35" builds, where mm's hardware providers are included: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/testbuilds-for-mp1-tve35.116924/

The latest experimental git test branch is EXP-TVE3.5_SEB_MERGE_Testing_Only and if you want to try this version without any dependency to MP1, you can give the MP2 version a test run: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ive-mp2-tv-updated-for-winter-release.114068/

Ok, well I finished downloading the master Git.
Trying to launch the TestApp, I'm having issues.
Referring to This post by st0rmcat, he seems to have made it work, but no code was posted...
I'm trying to reference what DiskHead said he had to do to get that project to run, but I'm still kinda stuck
Of course, for some reason it wasn't finding several dll files so I had to copy them into the debug folder, not sure if that has anything to do.

OK... so they've published 1.3.0 FINAL now -- do we know if it has CableCard "code" in the TV Server?

I'll certainly try it! Although my prediction is it probably won't....

I just got a HDHomeRun Prime, and after reading through the thread, I am wondering if anyone has a working solution? It appears to not work with Beta, but maybe with 1.3 Alfa?

I use a multiseat setup and am wondering how people are using their CableCard in this type of environment (with MP or without), especially with copy-once content? I am thinking of recording the broadcast stations on the server, and the protected channels on my HTPC in the main room. Any suggestions?

mm never published the source... so it won't be in MP until he do :/

Yes, it makes for a much more difficult time trying to figure out how to retrace others' steps with no more than a hint of success.

I think it's include for TVE35, but it's an WIP branch

How could it be? This thread here is still "Work in Progress".
Sadly @mm1352000 seems to enjoy his away time a bit "too much".

I'm still trying to get things to work. I think I managed to select the branch entitled "EXP-TVE3.5_SEB_MERGE_Testing_Only", but so far I have no idea why Visual Studio refuses to open anything related to the TV server.... Oh well. Slow progress is still progress, right?

I was very excited to find this thread! I am a software developer with only a little experience with MediaPortal, but I have experience with BDA and PBDA developing with another application (dvbe4sage extender for SageTV). I also was just able to confirm that my cable provider will provide a cablecard that will work with the HDHomeRun Prime. Once mm gets back I will contact him and if looks good, I will order the prime and the cablecard and hopefully be able to help him out getting it to work.

I will also be checking back here to see if anyone is able to make progress in his absence
