How To Debug MP in VS2005? (1 Viewer)

[Wladi]

Hello community,

I am using MP and I like the ideas which are realized by it a lot.

I am a very good C# programmer (unfortunately without any experiences in DirectX) and I think if I succeeded in debugging MP, I could contribute a lot to the further debugging and developing process.

I have the following problem and would appreciate any help I can get:

In VS 2005:

- I can compile Media Portal fine.
- I can start MP in Debug Mode

I tried to start the project “MediaPortal.Configuration” in Debug Mode to set up my configuration.

Although another version of MP (Rev 0.2.2.0), installed as a reference, detected my TV-Card (WinTV PVR2 USB2) without any problems, the debugged version didn’t. Is there a document which describes precisely what to do, to debug MP properly?

Thanks in advance,

Wladi



PS: I intend to debug the “core” to find out why the recording of tv-series doesn’t work although the once recording is working correctly.

Hi,

IIRC the procedure is the following:

-copy all files from the Release folder to the Debug folder, but make sure NOT to overwrite anything
-run the debug build from vs.net

That should do the trick. I think if you don't want to debug the configuration app itself it's enough to build the solution to the Debug dir and start the configuration.exe in here.

Good luck!

Thank you,

but what are the directorys - the sudirs from MediaPortal\xbmc\bin\Debug or the related from the project - f.e. MediaPortal\Configuration\bin\Debug

I setted the configproject to debug from working directory ...MediaPortal\xbmc\bin\Debug - O.K.?

Thank you Maschine,

now my configuration setup works, my TVcard is here.
The Dir was ...MediaPortal\xbmc\bin\Debug.
