[QUOTE="AberDino, post: 327371, member: 11575"] I now have a requirement to compile my own MediaPortal from the latest SVN build, but I need some help and I hope somebody can assist. I'm not a programmer... Following the instructions from the relevant [URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/manual/MediaPortal1_Development/CompilingMediaPortal"]Wiki article[/URL], I downloaded and installed Visual C# Express 2005 (because it's free), .NET 2.0 SDK, the latest MS DirectX SDK, and TortoiseSVN. I configured TorToiseSVN to synchronise with [URL="https://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mediaportal/trunk/"]https://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mediaportal/trunk/[/URL]. I noticed that this location currently is not up-to-date, as described in [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/website-forum-wiki-feedback-58/what-happened-svn-48076/"]this article[/URL], but I can wait. I want to use one of the latest SVNs because of [URL="http://mantis.team-mediaportal.com/view.php?id=1543"]this fix[/URL]. Once I've got an up-to-date local copy of the latest SVN, I need to integrate the source code from the [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-talk-45/automatic-refreshrate-changer-44338/"]refresh rate changer plugin[/URL]. I downloaded v0.61 of this plugin, which has a file included 'sources_20605.patch'. When I right-click on this file, TurtoiseSVN allows me to 'Apply patch...' and this brings up a 'Browse For Folder' box. My first question is, which directory should I pick here? Is it as simple as selecting the 'mediaportal' directory from the local source directory? Am I right in assuming I need to re-apply the patch after I perform a TorToiseSVN 'SVN Update'? After patching the local MP source files, I will need to compile with Visul C# Express 2005. The Wiki is limited on how to do this, and only states [I]Mention "MediaPortal.VC#Express.sln" solution file for express users[/I]. I searched for sln files in the local source files and there are a few, but not 'MediaPortal.VC#Express.sln'. As a test I tried to open 'MediaPortal.sln' in the mediaportal directory, but Visual C# 2005 says 'the solution or project you are opening was created in a previous version of Visual Studio', and it needs to be converted. I didn't go any further there, as that sounds strange to me considering the latest version is 2008. Any advise on how to progress from here? Thanks in advance for your help. [/QUOTE]
