Re: Is this project still alive ...?

I was wondering - as this project had a rather high activity in the past it has become very very quit now. Except Craig there is not much response any more and when looking at the Google codepage the activity also has decreased dramatically.

As I understand there were a lot of open points and bugfixes outstanding. Also I don't understand why there are attempts to put the whole project to a different host (discussion forum) instead leaving it at at team mediaportal - it's a mediaportalplugin after all. I see a lot of effort putted in the new forum but - sorry - splitting the base is useless. Even if the alternate forum is much more beautifull I don't see any benefit in having two of them. And removing it from team mediaportal is not going to work (ok - this is my opinion).

So - the simple question is - is this project still alive - and where - and who is participating?

I was wondering this as well. Hope you guys are still working on this plugin. For me personally, it's the only thing keeping me from switching to Windows Media Center.

Yes Craig has been holding the fort for quite a while now.
Both him and mpiva were recently busy doing some major low level re-writes of the Database code.
While there is quite a huge amount of work done by them, most of it is not noticeable to the end user (except for performance improvements)

Myself and bert_r have been virtually inactive since the last release.
Essentially I have had no time to work on the plugin, but hoping that things will quieten down soon, and I can get back to it.

The plugin is certainly not abandoned

Once the bugs are ironed out in the code refactor there should be another release, just can't say when that will be.

This forum will always be the main place for the Anime plugin. Craig is just trying to spruik the other forum because it is easier to dev's to answer individual questions there. We may get a FAQ going on the other site, and point you there for previously answered questions.

I am very happy to hear this. Once again, I'd like to express my gratitude to all the devs for all the work you do on this plugin. Thanks for enhancing my anime viewing!

Good to here that the team is still there - I normaly check after the Google updates if the project is still moving - and as the input there had big gaps I asked the question - so happy waiting for the futurereleases.

Problem with RC5?

The plugin has stopped working for me after I upgraded to MediaPortal RC5. I can open it, but my series list does not show up. I can go to the utilities screen and run an import, but going back to the main plugin screen causes MediaPortal to crash. I tried this on two different PCs and got the same thing. Here is an error log if it helps:

I have a clean Win7 x64 installation with MP 1.1 RC6
Under RC5 I had no problems.
I'm using the hot fix für myanime.

Because this plugin is the mostly used on my HTPC.

Ok I'll take a look at this.

WARNING On an unrelated note...I have recently begun testing the upcoming version of the plugin.
Installed the latest version of the X-Factor skin via MPI, which also seems to include the fanart plugin by default.
The plugin specifies a proxy server which also overrides any web requests done to AniDB.
This proxy server doesn't work for me, which essentially breaks the myanime plugin.

So if you suddenly find myanime not working, you will need to disable the proxy server.
