My First Plugin does not appear in plugin list (1 Viewer)

[e61phil]

Hello,

I've created a plugin exactly as described in

http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...s/Plugin_Developer's_Guide/1_Develop_a_Plugin

but the plugin doesn't appear in the plugin list.

I've used Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express on Windows 7 64 and Mediaportal 1.2.3.0.

I referenced the core.dll and the dialogs.dll from the installation path of MediaPortal. The source Code is a 1:1 copy of the wiki side.

Is there anythig to change with Visual C# 2010 Express?

Best regards
Philipp

1) Be sure it is on .Net Framework 3.5
2) AssemblyInffo should contain compatibility info
3) Open Configuration - plugins and click save

I changed the C# project from .NET 4 to .NET 3.5, I added this lines in the AssemblyInfo:

using MediaPortal.Common.Utils;
[assembly: CompatibleVersion("1.1.6.27644")]
[assembly: UsesSubsystem("MP.SkinEngine")]
[assembly: UsesSubsystem("MP.Config")]

and I added the reference to Common.Utils.dll

And now.. It works!

Thank you very much

well, tell us a bit more of your plugin! What can you do with it?

One day.. it can receive UDP broadcasts from my home automation system and display messages like "the washing machine is ready" or something like that.

Do you know a process plugin tutorial?
