Re: Experimental patch to read .nfo in mediaportal
Hi Technick
I really love the idea of your patch. Therefore I ve tried to compile mediaportal for myself. Maybe thats the reason for my problems cause it was the first time in my life.
What I have done is the following:
-downloaded and installed all the suggested programms (.net SDK ...) and the source code of mediaportal
-right click on the source code folder -> TortoiseSVN -> Apply Patch (I have not found an explanation for applying patches) -> save the resulting file
-a red sign was then at GUIVideoFiles.cs and the corresponding folders (I have ignored this ???)
-compiled MediaPortal and applied the SVN
The result of this procedure is the following:
If I go into the video part of Mediaportal the videos shows as the cover the folder.jpg
The backdrop.jpg and the informations of the nfo-file are not visible
If I go then to the left side and change the order (the 3. menuepoint) from folder to genre I can see the information from the nfo-file, but also here no backdrop
When I go again to the left side the 1. (view, which is active) but also the 3. (order) menuepoint are highlighted.
