OK, I have installed alot of stuff and have downloaded the source for MP2. Could you just give me some hints on how to begin. Say I want to fix the first one from the report:

AssemblyVersionMissingNot ImplementedTodoP/Invoke
HttpServer.dll 1.0.0.0 0 0 1 0

Calling Method Method with [MonoTodo] Reason
string Cb (string, string, Object[]) bool Type.op_Equality (Type, Type) Implement it properly once 4.0 impl details are known.

How do I find where to fix this? I mean I guess I should go to \MediaPortal-2\MediaPortal\Source\Core\HttpServer\ but then I'm unsure.

It is pretty easy.
you know the project right? -> HttpServer
How to find teh function?
- open the MP2-Server.sln
- go to the HttpServer ins the solution explorer
- open any file from this solution
- press strg+f
- select by "look in": "current project"
- search for: "string Cb(" (note that in our coding convention there is no space between the function name and the braked

If you do this you will get to: ObjectForm.cs Line 167

Thanks! I will try that!

For compiling MP2 C# code the MSBUILD is enough (see batch files under BUILD). Only if you want to compile our native components (only evrpresenter.dll), you need SDKs installed. You can use the contained compiled version.

If the target is to port MP2 to non-MS platforms then just making the C# components Mono compatible wont be enough.

@raffe, if you want to run MP2 on non-MS OS then prepare to make some bigger changes as well (Skin Engine uses DirectX, players are depending on DirectShow, BASS is used from music playback).

Does that mean the player part and not the server part?

It worked, just as you said, it's on line 167 in ObjectForm

But, C# says this a lot when I open MP2-Server.sln, will that be a problem?:

And the Output from Solution say "Some of the properties associated with the solution could not be read."

Nope, that's just because you're using the express edition of VS.
It doesn't hurt at all, just ignore it

yes, the client side would be a big problem
But before you start with a lot of work you could give wine a try it also supports the .net framework from MS:
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2586
So maybe the server works already without modifying it^^

But you see, I'm totally crazy , I would like to have the server part running on my NAS

So good luck if you have any questions, I will try to help you

Hmm... Many DLLs, like

Common.Utils.dll​

use a lot of native Windows DLLs. That may be over my head to fix
