MediaPortal Development Errors (1 Viewer)

[softwareskull]

Hi guys, I'm trying to get Media Portal 1 set up with Microsoft Visual Studio 1 so I can play with the source code and features.

My current problem is: One or more of your projects in the solution were not loaded properly. Please see the output window for help.

Output:
C:\Users\SoftwareSkull\Desktop\Common-MP-TVE3\PowerScheduler.Interfaces\PowerScheduler.Interfaces.csproj : error : Unable to read the project file 'PowerScheduler.Interfaces.csproj'.
C:\Users\SoftwareSkull\Desktop\Common-MP-TVE3\PowerScheduler.Interfaces\PowerScheduler.Interfaces.csproj: The project file could not be loaded. Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\SoftwareSkull\Desktop\Common-MP-TVE3\PowerScheduler.Interfaces\PowerScheduler.Interfaces.csproj'.

C:\Users\SoftwareSkull\Desktop\Common-MP-TVE3\Common.Utils\Common.Utils.csproj : error : Unable to read the project file 'Common.Utils.csproj'.

What I notice so far is that Common-MP-TVE3 is not a folder on my desktop. Do I need to download something else?

I got the source code using TortoiseSVN at location: https://sources.team-mediaportal.com/svn/public/trunk/mediaportal

I'm thinking that I may need: https://sources.team-mediaportal.com/svn/public/trunk/Common-MP-TVE3/ as well?

Hi softwareskull

Yes, you also need the code that is common to the MP client and TV Server ("common plugins"). That can be retrieved from:

https://sources.team-mediaportal.com/svn/public/trunk/Common-MP-TVE3

(as stated in the wiki -->here<--)

alright that helped now I'm stuck with this error:

Error 7 Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:/Users/SoftwareSkull/Desktop/viSource/MediaPortal.Base/BassRegistration.dll' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. Line 2293, position 5. C:\Users\SoftwareSkull\Desktop\viSource\Configuration\Sections\PluginsNew.resx 2293 5 MediaPortal.Configuration

it doesn't mention anything about needing the plugins sorry bro.. but that I have those, can you please help me fix my error?

That sounds like the ResGen Problem I am having. (A known VS 2010 bug with .net 3.5 projects). Check the output pane after building for a resgen error.
Here are some possible solutions.

Umm, what exactly are you trying to do? Compile or debug?

 

[softwareskull]

both I suppose? I believe it has to do with YASM.. not being able to convert the assembler file..

YASM readme.txt:

To use these files you need to do the following:

1. Put the VSYASM executable file (vsyasm.exe) in the Visual Studio
binary directory, which is typically at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin

Alternatively, if you wish to put vsyasm.exe elsewhere, the
environment YASMPATH can be set to the directory path (including
the final backslash) where vsyasm.exe is placed.

2. place the three files vsyasm.xml, vsyasm.props and vsyasm.targets
in the directory alongside the other files with which VSYASM will
be used.

3. After a project that includes YASM assembler files is opened in
the Visual Studio 2010 IDE, right click on the project in the
solution explorer and select "Build Customisations". If vsyasm is
offered as an option in the resulting list you can then select it;
if not, use the "Find Existing" button and the resulting file
dialogue to navigate to the vsyasm.targets that you stored earlier,
select it to add it to the list and then select it from the list.

4. Once you have done this, right clicking on the project in the
solution explorer and selecting "Properties" will bring up a
dialogue with a new item "Yasm Assembler" that will allow you
to configure Yasm for building any assembler files added to
the project.


I don't have the build customizations that was mentioned in step 3..

Hmm, I don't do that. All I do is build the solution in "debug" mode (as opposed to "release" mode) - in other words:

1. Right click on the solution, click "clean solution".
2. Right click on the solution, click "build solution".
3. Right click on the MediaPortal project, move down to "debug", then click "start new instance".

Simple as that.

.resx -> the ResGen.exe bug. Anyone reading my posts?
