Extension Installer V2 (1 Viewer)

[rolenof]

There is the bug in Plugin maker. It can't publish information about plugin if update.xml located on sourceforge.net, it says that we accept only from sourceforge.com.

 

[emphatic]

All of a sudden, the whole list of Installed extensions has gone blank. I think this happened after I used an Avallonis skin update patch. The plugins I have installed (that are normally shown in the Extension Manager) are:

Amped
Avallonis
Black Glass Nova HD
Extensions
FanArt handler
IMDB+
Infoservice
LatestMediaHandler
LAVFilters
MP TV-Series
MusicInfoHandler
Mustayaluca
MyLyrics
MyTorrents
OnlineVideos
PureAudio
SubCentral
Trakt
YouTube.FM

I since this happened installed MP TV-Series again, and now I have that, Trakt and SubCentral again. Is there a way to recover all the plugins "missing" or do I just have to re-install them now?

Cheers

I had this too - happened when I updates some plugins (can't remember which)
I had to reinstall them all...

I found out that the ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Installer\V2\ folder is pretty big, it has backups and installers for all versions of all extensions.

Why does it keep so much files and why does it make backups of unzipped files (when installed)? What can I remove?

I think there is a major flaw in the current version of the Extension Installer:

When installing extension A which installs extension B which installs extension C the installer crashes. This was noticed when MP-TVSeries installer was created, which installs SubCentral, which installs SubtitleDownloader - all MPE packages.

The error is

Would be nice to categorise the plugins as well - categories as per the repository...

Let's fix these bugs first before any new features please...

I've been looking at the code whole evening and the issue I reported is quite problematic. Of course there are hacks to make it work but the main issue seems to be that object states are mixed up when incrementing progress bar.

In this case, the ExtensionInstaller class is executed for SubCentral and the progress bar is incremented, and when ExtensionInstaller is executed again for SubtitleDownloader, it is incrementing the same progress bar which was already incremented by SubCentral installation...

@seco - do you still have the MPE file of TvSeries that holds SubCentral with SubtitleDownloader MPE? I'd like to debug and fix this before MP 1.3 beta and want to save the time to create that scenario.

Is any chance to add plugin to list of installed plugins manually?
I suppose it's like MpeInstaller.InstalledExtensions.Add(smth);
But how I can move info from update xml to this?
