Plugin: MP2Extended (2 Viewers)

[johanj]

Yes, I use the string for aspect ratio:

if (mediaInfo.VideoStreams.length != 0) {
var aspectRatio = mediaInfo.VideoStreams[0].DisplayAspectRatioString;
}

what's the reason for you to go with the MP2 database instead of the TV database for recordings

Because the DB handling is done by the server itself and a plugin has to use the functions the server is offering. Direct DB access is not fitting to the MP2 concept as all database actions have to be done by the MP2 server. And it is dangerous as we are using SQLite. SQLite is faster a lot compared to MySQL and it's way less complicated to set up and run. But SQLite did not like multiple accesses at the same time.

I don't want to abuse this thread for general MP2 questions, so only one comment:
Import of existing recordings into the TV database is a pain! It takes ages, the configuration tool freezes and i had to do it more than one time to catch up all my recordings.

Have done this a few times lately. No issues here and lightning fast. There is a problem on your setup/system then, no general MP2 issue.

The configuration tool is part of TVE. As far as I know it has always had locks up during a large import, I assume the import is running on the event thread hence the GUI being unresponsive.

If you monitor the C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Log\SetupTV log file, you will see the application is importing.
During such times as importing (I see it with import F:\TVGuide\tvguide.xml) the application does not respond until the process is completed.....
If you click on another option inside Setup TV, as soon as the import is completed, the Setup TV switches to the option you clicked on....

I seem to get the correct aspect ratios now. I need to map some of them to the graphics we use but that's no issue. It's hard coded mapping where several names goes to same image file, e.g. 2.37:1 and 2.37 goes to 2.37.png

 

[FreakyJ]

Do you need different names? I can change these

 

[johanj]

Nah, I can just add what I get from you as well, I sometimes could get strange ratios from MPExt like 240:107 so I just check the log for the empty cases and add them.

Are any other major bugs feature requests open? Except from the streaming issue on which henso is working

I continued in implementing more missing API functions. Otherwise would be the next step to move to the MIA Rework and get more details for Sesons, Pictures and Movies
@MrTechno what do I need to move to the MIA rework? Today I refined some Baseclasses to lower the workload. (not pushed yet)

 

[johanj]

I'm not sure where we should continue. But Pictures are almost empty for me in MPiV but I get them in MP2 client. I see the years folders but most often just a single picture in each folder. But there were issues with my swedish åäö in file paths during import...

When exiting MP2 client it's not really closing. I have to kill the process. Should be in earlier logs I have posted.

Music also miss MIA Rework so maybe continue there.

Henso has iViewer now, he just need to fiddle with client settings to get it working.
