MP2 TV Server (1 Viewer)

[matejdro]

Can MP2 alpha be connected to TV server or is TV support not yet implemented?

 

[morpheus_xx]

Yes this works quite well already: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...p2-incl-pip-support-update-19-03-2012.106231/

You can try the "MP2 Easter Build", there is the latest SlimTv included. For other requirements check the thread and the wiki.

we are currently working at a special tve3-experimental branch/fork.

It has been heavily reworked.
A lot of refactoring has been done in order to improve the overall infrastructure of the codebase.

stuff like:

* setupTV is now able to run on any client (see it as a true multiseat client like MP is)
* remoting removed. WCF introduced (client - server communication protocol).
* client => server polling now removed. Instead the client uses WCF callback events.
* gentle.net removed. Entity Framework 4.x introduced (use any EF certified DB backend, mysql, mySQL etc.)
* tv client (mediaportal) + setupTV now doesn't connect directly with the database. Only the tvservice has direct DB access.

then we have a few patches.
0003369: tvserver is not threadsafe. - MediaPortal Bugtracker
0003296: Rework loading of TV recordings - MediaPortal Bugtracker
+ a lot of other internal patches.

+ the initial work for a real rulebased scheduler

u can follow the changes here:

Hi gibman!

How is this progressing? Is it more mature and stable than some months ago? There's no possibility to see it integrated into 1.3 Final, is it?

Many thanks for your work and keep up with the good job

Best regards.

It won't be integrated in 1.3 Final. (correct me if I am wrong ) But I think as soon as gibman thinks it is stable enough there could be a testbuild in Area51 thread. =)

Hello gibman,

Is there a thread on the forum where we can follow your progress?

Its month ago now, and I am unhappy there is no answer or possibility to follow the progress.

So, whats the news about TV Server for MP1 and/or MP2?

Best regards.

basically the new tv engine will work in both mp1 as well as in mp2.
I can mention that morpheus already has it running in mp2.

recently mm's hardware refactoring work was merged into this branch as well.
so a lot of stuff is happening.

it will support almost any DB backend of your choice.
