[News] MediaPortal 2 - Summer '15 Release (1 Viewer)

[Zumsel]

This can work using MPExtended and the MPExtended provider for MP2-Client.

See http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/9_Reference/TV_support for more details.

I don't understand this point, why do you still need MPExtended?
In the news section you said:

The cutting edge technologies of MediaPortal 2 now makes use of the matured and stable TV Engine 3 of MediaPortal 1. This makes MP2 a complete solution for daily use, no longer depending on additional TV components installed!

@Zumsel I think MPExtended is when you want to use a MP1 Server, wich also includes TVE3.
To connect to an MP2 Server with TVE3 you use SlimTV.

Osre, thanks for clarifying this. I thougt TVE3 is the server

Hi.

I don't understand this point, why do you still need MPExtended?

Not too hard to understand. If you use MP2 you don't need MPE. All that is needed to have a working LiveTV is included in MP2 installer. So nothing special to think about, nothing extra software to install. You even don't need an SQL Server installed like it is necessary for MP1. So all is easy then.

Similar is, if you only use MP1. Then you also need nothing extra to get all working.

The only "complicated" scenario is, if you want to use MP1 and MP2 together at the same time, both with working LiveTV from the same tuner hardware.
Sadly it is not possible to use MP2-Server (that is delivering LiveTV for MP2) as TV Server for MP1 due to some restrictions (missing features and/or bad software design) in MP1. For mixed usage you need something the other way round. Luckily there is an option that MP2 can use the MP1 TV Server for Live TV. Then and only then you need MPExtended. to connect MP2 with the MP1 TV Server.

Thanks guys for this promising release. I encouter an error when trying to use MPExtended plugins with this new release.

after a clean install of mp2 and slimtv-mpextended mp2 is not working i get this error:

I've updated the plugin: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/mp2-plugins/slimtv-mpextended. Give it a try and post results, please

 

[kilik360]

So far so good with this updated plugin morpheus_xx. I've try with the SE'15 update 1 and it's working good.

The only thing I encounter is MPextended adresse needs to be an IP. With the network name of the server, it never connected.

Tell me if you want to see my logs.

Thanks !
