CECRemote failing to load (1 Viewer)

Hi

Does there exist a version of CECRemote that works with 2.1? The version from the plugin site fails loading with the following in the log:

[2017-02-10 20:12:17,158] [602 ] [Main ] [ERROR] - Error parsing plugin descriptor file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\Plugins\CECRemote\plugin.xml'
System.ArgumentException: 'Plugin' element doesn't support an attribute 'PluginVersion'

it could be, that just the compatibility version number of the plugin needs to be increased. MP2.1 expects an increased number.

Ok, where do I find that number and do you know what it should be increased to?

Ok, I've figured it out...

In C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\Plugins\CECRemote\plugin.xml, change:

<DependsOn>
<CoreDependency Name="MediaPortal.Common" CompatibleAPI="1" />
<CoreDependency Name="MediaPortal.UI" CompatibleAPI="1" />
<PluginReference PluginId="{1AFF4467-64B0-4ca1-AF28-9AEDF3525BCE}" CompatibleAPI="1" /> <!-- ConfigurationManager -->
</DependsOn>

to

<DependsOn>
<CoreDependency Name="MediaPortal.Common" CompatibleAPI="2" />
<CoreDependency Name="MediaPortal.UI" CompatibleAPI="2" />
<PluginReference PluginId="{1AFF4467-64B0-4ca1-AF28-9AEDF3525BCE}" CompatibleAPI="1" /> <!-- ConfigurationManager -->
</DependsOn>


In C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\MP2-Client.exe.config, change:

<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.1"/>
</startup>

to

<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.1"/>
</startup>
