wilee how are you blasting to the stb? I am trying to use IR Server Suite but it isn't passing the plugin check on the svn for testing.

I modified the IRSS to show up as compatible. You can get the code from the Plugins SVN...

That is the unfortunate part about playing with SVN's, not all plugins/parts/pieces are compatible and you have to wait for someone to update them

You can read more on the compatibility checker here -> Version Compatibility - MediaPortal Wiki

Did you guys install svn 27798 client and server or just server?
I'm about to do that now but all the plugins are incompatible in MP.
Is there an easy to "cheat" to fake that they are compatible or should I just install TVServer 27798?

** I'm not purposefully trying to not derail/sidetrack this thread so if it's better that i just hold off until beta let me know **
I managed to get the code from SVN and modify the AssemblyInfo.cs (in notepad ) and i could build successfully (I think) the core IRSS which goes in program files folder. However I couldn't get the plugin DLL files that go into the TV Server/plugins folder to build. When I opened the project up in VS2010 Express I got a ton of "cannot open solution folders in this version" messages, (which after some searching revealed that you can't open them in Express, only the full version). So as a result the project is looking for some references back to the main MP code which it can't get to because the other solution folders aren't loading (thats my theory anyway) and as a result can't build those DLLs.

Is there a way around this within VS2010 Express, like a setting I can flip somewhere? [I tried to add a reference, but it only lets me pick from whatever is in that project. and I tried editing path property of reference, but it seems to be read-only] Or can I use another software suite like SharpDevelop to compile? [I'm a little hesitant to install yet more software, and there doesn't seem to be easy to follow directions on MP site for anything other than VS2010, but I'm willing to try].

You should be able to download the .NET SDK and use MSBUILD
Get it here

You'll need to do your edits with notepad but you should be able to compile everything.
If you'll need more guidance you'll need to search through the forum as this is getting off topic from HD PVR and Colossus support :sorry:

I already tried that I seem to be the only klutz with the issue (after much googling) so i think it's specific to my setup. If i can't figure it out myself I'll just continue with the older SVN until the beta comes out and hope someone updates the IRSS with a new build to match.

And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.....

Hi everyone

This is just a quick note to let you all know that the team have graciously agreed to accept the patch, *including* Colussus support. There was only one change requested, which was the removal of the logging "HDPVR:..."/"Colossus:...". I have committed the patch into SVN (revision 27813). My thanks to those of you who have helped with testing, especially WileECoyote.



Let's roll on 1.2.0b!!!

 

[sjeffrey]

Great job guys.
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to test this weekend. I had to leave town for family emergency on Friday and only got back Sunday and I was dead tired.
I'll keep with my working version for now until beta comes up.

Thanks again mm and WileE.

Supercool, I just noticed it in the SVN! Thanks again mm!

Is the Beta going to be built off of the lastest SVN (27814)?

Edit: BTW, I just sold my last HDPVR and now I am running two Colossus tuners with Dish Network and two Hauppauge HVR-1600 tuners running TWC QAM. Now I need to upgrade to a 2TB recording drive

I guys, i really appreciate that you work for adding support for the colossus. I would like to know if it's more stable than the HD-PVR ? because I already own a HD-PVR but it's not 100% stable. I would like to know if i should go with colossus. Does the channel change is faster... 12 sec for me with HD-PVR and scientifc atlanta 4250HD.

thanks a keep up the good work.
