MD-Api in MediaPortal developers wanted to finish the job (3 Viewers)

[lm]

Trying to figure out what I'm not doing right... seems like mdplug is not finding the plugin?... should the plugin be listed under the mdplug menu? Also, I'm not confident regarding the TVDatabaseV21.db3... mine is empty (other than the record I created, but I think it's probably wrong). When I switch to a new channel, the MDplug.log shows this at the end of the line: "CA_Anzahl = 0" Is that right?

did you read the readme.txt ?

if you follow it step by step, it would be work.

Some news of the poject

I'm working on the filling of new table and field during the channel autotune and manually in the channel form. But before I have to learn about Conditionnal Access decoding to catch emm/ecm values. (any help on this would be accelerated the developpment )

And Agarwal who work on the dll part had made significant progress. (solved ffdecsa issue)

But, because we are in the middle of dev, you have to wait for new sources.

I'm compile MDplug.dll, recompile all sources with *.cs changed as you say in readme.txt, and try use PMCam plugin and... it's not work
The log says:

Another thing is error, when MediaPortal stops:

2006-10-18 19:42:56 296 [ERROR] CaptureCard B2C2 MPEG-2 Source NOT supported, no definitions found

What is wrong?

 

[mbb]

Sorry habek but it's still a prototype and before to focuse on a particular MDPlugin, we have to solve more general issues.

You are welcome to help us in this development phase

I suspect JoshyFun might be convinced to help get PMCam working as well

I suspect JoshyFun might be convinced to help get PMCam working as well

I will help with that, but I don't have any developer knowledge about MDPlugins and DVB processing and there is no DVB card on my development machine

After that, if you have any idea, what I can help with, write this.

 

[mbb]

If you have knowledge about forms it will be usefull to add new fields in channel configuration:

1. ECMPid for DVB-C, DVB-T and ATSC cards. (to modify value more easily than with SQLite Database Browser.exe)

2. at least a display window for CA_values in each DVB type form

3. a new setting for DVB card to choose if you want use MDPlug for it (not with CI card for example)

 

[habek]

Ok. It's 1 AM, I going to sleep, but tommorow I look to the sources and try to do this.

Hi! I would be glad to help but I really don't know anything that can help you with this development... Bue I'm looking forward to have MDplugins working with media portal, since I can't watch sattelite tv otherwise... Thanks to everyone in this great project!
