Where are these plugins?
I got MediaPortal2 to build. Here's a note for everyone: it doesn't build with .Net 5.0 tools. That took longer to realize than I would have hoped. If we upgrade the projects to the new format, it should theoretically work. UPnP didn't work with 5.0, so I can try converting that one to verify. It's not a priority, but eventually, it'll be a pain to get pre-5.0 tools, and the newer project format is much more pleasant in general.

EDIT: I got UPnP to compile using net5 build tools, though I did disable a bunch of AssemblyInfo stuff, as I didn't understand what in the build chain was breaking it. So theoretically, the whole solution could be converted to the new 2017 csproj format. I attached a patch for anyone interested. I'm not going to PR it or anything, as it's not finished.

EDIT2: If you want a legitimate reason to convert to the new format, other than because people should stop using EOL products, the build times are significantly faster.

[QUOTE="da3dsoul, post: 1276592, member: 166402"] Where are these plugins? I got MediaPortal2 to build. Here's a note for everyone: it doesn't build with .Net 5.0 tools.
