Okay, so I've spent the past day and a half on the wiki and forums. I've forked MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2, downloaded a ton of garbage that has no justification for even existing in 2020, and I stopped half-way, as really, I shouldn't need 40GB of deps on my laptop to build a plugin.
So, here I am, hoping for a simplified answer, because the wiki honestly sucks. No offense, it's not just you guys.
The summary of the current situation is: I am seeing about making a new Shoko Plugin for MP2 (My Anime 3, but a full rewrite with different design ideas).
TL;DR
Where should I start? What do I need? The wiki sends you in circles and I don't know what's relevant.
The only thing that I absolutely won't install is Visual Studio. I have Rider, the VS Build Tools, net core SDK, .Net 4.0-5.0 SDKs, C++ SDKs, enabled .Net 3.5, and that's where I stopped, half of that shouldn't be needed.
I've heard you guys are pretty nice. Sorry if my tone is less than ideal. Frustration from reading in circles can do that.
PS. I don't know if many of you have heard of me. I'm a fairly experienced dev. I rather like MediaPortal from the little bit I've used it so far. I'll probably be a rather large contributor to the plugin scene if I can get things off the ground. After this, one of my first orders of business will be getting my skin for kodi ported over.
