@Sebastiii : Have you few time for look in this branch for set Nuget package ?

Je suis désolé, je fait toujours appel a toi !

 

[Sebastiii]

Salut

Hmmm in fact not really
It seems that it's needed to add first bin to Nuget Mediaportal and then adapt MP code to download it

I'm working on something else right now but maybe later and need to know how to add bin to MP Nuget too

 

[azzuro]

YEs, lol
maybe i can try, but without result a the end !

azzuro,

Is it possible that the updated Versions become part of the standard MP release? Otherwise every time one is running an update, your versions are over-written. You may want to suggest this to the development Team.

Merci,

We have already an Git branch, for this, but like @tourettes said, no more external code should be inserted inside MP devellopement.

So we must create an " Nuget" package, with all DLL and Source, for implemente it to MP Core. ...
my explaination are not beautifull, because i'm a bit lost myself ...

 

[HTPCSourcer]

I certainly understand the development rules. Nonetheless, c'est bien dommage...

I'm considering working on this plug-in hoping I could get the equalizer to work and contribute MiniDisplayLibrary changes to master.
I got MediaPortal to compile and spotted the relevant places for potential changes:
MiniDisplay:oWork
DisplayHandler:rocess
iMonLCDg::GetEQ - to copy EQ code from
iMonLCDg:isplayEQ - to copy EQ code from

I'll have to understand the code contribution process.
Any pointer welcome.

When I replace the MiniDisplayLibrary.dll with the one I compiled myself from master I get a black screen when starting MP.
Why would that be?

Edit:
Alright so I updated my install to 1.6 and now my master build binary works fine.
Though on Titan skin some stuff are broken as I get things like:
Line0: Home Basic
Line1: #itemName
Instead of:
Line0: Home Basic
Line1: Music
That's probably an issue with the skin as it works just fine with StreamedMP.
Also Titan does not display menu options on VFD either. Interesting to see that the default skin is not MiniDisplay friendly whereas StreamedMP does a fantastic job.

thank you stephane for your work on this patch,

PS : we don't want extra pacakge inside MP code, as the wrapper, we want use Nuget for this. more easy for update.

you can share your work on github, more easy for the team to import your change.
