Getting involved in development (2 Viewers)

[i2o]

Now that's exactly what I was thinking about today, try joining us on IRC, if there is a immediate weakness it relates to keyboard need for setting up TVServer.

I've popped onto the IRC channel from time to time and it's usually pretty quiet. What time are people typically on?

I would get your ideas down on paper and PM them to Albert, as he's the person most heavily involved in MP2's current development (hopefully this will now change with MP1.0 out)

I'm mainly interested in the back-end bits given no experience in DirectX. Looking at how to best facilitate a content directory service for the various static and streaming media, building transport services to connect up with UPnP AV specs, ensuring proper leveraging of OS hooks and that sort of stuff is of interest. Having installed Media Portal v1 I think we can do some work to streamline the setup experience. There is a lot going on and to get the novice to intermediate user we'd need to dial back the amount of configuration or streamline it.

I agree with the setup / configuration being overly complex. One thing I'm looking at (hopefully over the xmas period), is to try and get channel scanning and TV setup working inside MP without having to go through TV Server Config. I like the way that MCE does this and i'm hoping to replicate similar functionality in MP. I'm probably biting off more than I can chew but I'll see how things go. Initially I'll be working on single seat stuff and then see if it will work for a client server setup.
