MP-TVSeries v4.3.6 Release [2020-01-24] (19 Viewers)

[ltfearme]

Why not join forces with @ltfearme and create a single MP-TVSeries?

Right now I don't have the capacity to review the code changes done by @Hound_dog but do appreciate any effort he does to provide the community options.

I don't work on TVSeries much these days unless something critical requires addressing like the series lookup recently, this has now been resolved in the latest release by providing an option for tvdb ID lookup and also updated the automatic search by series name to use the v4 API effectively making it operate the same as it did before the v1 API was broken).

Note: the v4 API features the plugin uses does not require a user PIN and hence is free to use. The plugin uses an agreed commercial API key which does not require a subscription, because of this it does not support user ratings or favourites from tvdb so that has been disabled. Adding the subscription-based features is not hard, but I doubt those features would be popular enough to bother implementing.

I usually only work on the plugin if I think of a new use case for myself or family and quite frankly there has not been anything new required for quite some time now hence the reason to not get too involved with these AI updates (it would require quite a bit of time for review and testing before integrating everything). If I was going to implement multiple providers, I would probably want to create a fresh new plugin.

Hi Thanks for letting us know your situation. Do you think you could do me a favour and try out my version to see what you think of how it works to review it for everyone. Thank You Mark

Is MP-TVSeries 4.7 (community version) 64 bit? Does it matter?

Is MP-TVSeries 4.7 (community version) 64 bit? Does it matter?

MP-TVSeries 4.7 (community version) is built “Any CPU”, so the same file runs in 64-bit and 32-bit MediaPortal. I’ve only tested it on MediaPortal 1.38 x64. It should also work on 32-bit MediaPortal 1.33 or newer (needs .NET Framework 4.7.2), but I haven’t tried that yet. If you’re on 32-bit, please let me know how it goes. If it doesn’t suit you, uninstall it and go back to the version you had. So I cant say all the plugins will play nicely. but give me your MP-TVSeries.log located here: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\log Normaly on a 64bit system but I think the location will be the same for 32bit. Either way you can search for the file in File explorer Thank you for Trying it out Mark

I'm experiencing some browsing oddities in both MP TV-Series as well as in Moving Pictures now.

Expected behavior in TV-Series:

Go into a view like "Latest added" and highlight an episode from a show
Change view to "All shows" and the show you had selected in the previous view is highlighted

Current behavior in TV-Series:
Change view to "All shows" and the first show in your library is highlighted



Expected behavior in Moving Pictures:

Browse your list of movies and enter the detail view for a movie
Back out and the movie which details you've just viewed is still highlighted in the list

Current behavior in Moving Pictures:
Browse your list of movies and enter the detail view for a movie
Back out and the highlighted movie is pages away from the movie which details you've just viewed details for. In my case, it's Monsters Vs. Aliens for some reason, even if I've just went from 2 fast 2 furious or any other title.

Is this just me? Or is this not an issue in just these plugins but something with the latest version of MePo?

 

[emphatic]

I reverted back to previous version of MePo and the issue is gone, so not the fault of these plugins.
