Custom Data Grabber including Sky UK Channel/EPG Grabber (8 Viewers)

[DragonQ]

So there's no way to use this Sky EPG plugin without redoing absolutely everything (StreamedMP, Moving Pictures, MP-TVSeries, etc.)?

Also, why 1.2.3 alpha and not 1.2.3 release?

EDIT: Oh I see, you have to enable the plugin in the Plugins section. I just did the upgrade from my existing 1.2.3 installation and at least the plugin is there now, so I'll have a play.

I mean't 1.3.0 Alpha

 

[onelegend]

where is 1.3a

testing tbs only, no speed change in 1.2.3, testing my original files for 1.2.2 now

 

[onelegend]

Tbs install over default 1.2.2 is same speed, but I think you had modified this after they were posted originally if I remember right?

Anyway, I then installed your 168 version over the top as I knew this used to work and it does indeed.

Bbc one now changing in around 2/3 sec from bbc 2. So that eliminates the driver now.

Any ideas whats changed that would stop it working in your new version?

Prob just me but the tv server version lists 1.2.3, is there not normally a SVN snapshot number shown there?

I mean't 1.3.0 Alpha

Hmm, I tried to use a fixed TvPlugin.dll file (to fix bug 3805) and when I open MP it says the versions don't match (as expected). However, it says the installed version of MP is "1.2.0-278-g30e7080-EXP_Custom_Data_Grabber". I could be totally wrong but shouldn't that be some variant of 1.3.0 if you suggest installing this on top of 1.3.0 alpha?

Also, I see that this bug-fix was merged into the "MP 1.3 Alpha test branch". Does that mean if I upgrade to 1.3.0 alpha and then install MP Custom Data Grabber, that bug will be fixed I'll still be able to use Sky EPG etc.?

Or perhaps it would be easier for you to incorporate the bug fix in your next version? It's a one-line change in a single file.

Woke up this morning to an HTPC without TV. Turning the TV on does nothing, choosing a channel from the EPG just brings up the loading bar indefinitely. Restarting the TV Service did nothing, restarting the PC did nothing.

Guys if it is not working then don't use it.

The TBS stuff is just a test and shouldn't be used on machines you use all the time.
I recommend you wait for the TBS code to be completed and for TBS to release drivers that will work.

1.3.0 Alpha is the latest release by Media Portal and can be found on the News Page.

The installers must be applied after you install this, they include 1.3.0 code.

 

[DragonQ]

Fair enough, I wasn't really expecting it to work over 1.2.3 when you said 1.3.0 Alpha, just thought I'd give it a go. I also didn't realise the TBS version was "unfinished". I'll use the normal version next time!

However, I don't see a download link for 1.3.0 Alpha on the news page. It just says that the release has been delayed and that pre-release versions can be found in Area 51, but I can't see any 1.3.0 Alpha builds in there either.

It is also confusing that the first post says in big bold writing "MEDIAPORTAL v1.2.3 is required for the following files." yet you say 1.3.0 Alpha is required. Not trying to attack you, just trying to understand better.

 

[DJBlu]

Many Appologies,

1.3.0 is being released shortly.

This will install over 1.2.3 and will bring you upto 1.3.0 but will show 1.2.3.

I will change this to sort the confusion.

https://www.team-mediaportal.com/news/mediaportal-123-released

Thats the one.

 

[DragonQ]

Oh....well now I'm more confused because bug 3805 is supposed to be fixed in 1.3.0 but it still existed when I installed the Custom Data Grabber version over 1.2.3.
