[no Bug] Latest svn does not load some 3rd-Party Plugins anymore (1 Viewer)

[mironicus]

Since some days Mediaportal 1.20 SVN does not load some 3rd-Party Plugins anymore, like for example the popular "OnlineVideos 0.26". Tested with svn 26862 on two PCs.

On a recent SVN from one week ago (svn 26808) everything runs fine.

The log shows the following:

2010-11-25 17:38:54.079075 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: Load plugins from : C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\windows\OnlineVideos.MediaPortal1.dll

"Planned" issue. Lot of plugins are affected and they need to be adjusted to work with the coming 1.2.0 beta. After all the compatibility related tasks are commited into SVN there will be information for plugin developers how to make the plugins compatible.

Re: AW: Latest svn does not load some 3rd-Party Plugins anymore

What is the benefit of this changes?

• Smaller and more easier code base to maintain -> easier to fix bugs (and not to introduce new ones so easialy)
• Small speed boost at least in GUI

Are there any informations available?

There will be as soon as the whole cleanup is done.
