Hi alltogether,

im trying to do some first steps in developing with mp.

i created the sampleplugin exactöy as told in the wiki and it tells me my plugin is out of date.

i acknowleged the link to the compatibility requirements but i dont get the hang of what is wrong
withe the code in the wiki and what exactly to change...

thanks to anyone lending a helping hand!

I had this exact same issue, you need to alter the Assemblyinfo.cs code within the project properties folder.

Make sure you add "using MediaPortal.Common.Utils;" to the includes and also add the common.utils.dll as a reference, finally add the following at the bottom of the code:

using System.Reflection;
.
.
.
BLA
BLA
.
.
.
using MediaPortal.Common.Utils;
.
.
.
BLA
BLA
BLA
.
.
.
[assembly: CompatibleVersion("1.1.6.27644")]
[assembly: UsesSubsystem("MP.SkinEngine")]
[assembly: UsesSubsystem("MP.Config")]

thanks for help !!!

Mediaportal Namespace exists, but ther is no .common member...

maybe you mean

using Mediaportal.Util;

but compatileversion, and UsesSubsysem arent found...
VC gives hint "maybe the assembly is missing"

you need to add another reference to the Common.Utils.dll, just like you already did for Core.dll in the wiki. It is in the Mediaportal directory.

Project -> Add Reference -> Browse -> add the Common.Utils.dll from mediaportal directory

Thats it!! Thanks! This should really be put to the WIKI... Or an i the only one not getting that???

Glad that sorted it

It is actually listed here at the bottom of the page: Version Compatibility - MediaPortal Wiki

But I agree it should be in the development guide instead of via the compatibility link ...

Hi

Thanks for pointing it out. I added a link on the relevant page to make it a bit more clear.
If you feel it can still be better explained, please assist by updating the wiki (or let us know if you need help).
