Plugin: MP2Extended (2 Viewers)

[breese]

Probably you should restart the server and try again. Probably it had much to do during the first startup?! I don't know.

I did 2 restarts... Same Errors
Recovered from the backup I made prior to installing the one from post #1, All back to normal
There is something about that build......

The logs don't tell me that much... I just extended the interfaces, so maybe you haven't updated the interface on the client side? It is just a guess

You can leave it case sensitive, I will just fix the issues when I get to them. This one I missed so thanks for spotting.

Yes, it should be the tt number, I will double check to see why it didnt work. It looked from the url that it was another format.

Audioid shouldnt be null, will check why I got that.

I can upload my new MP2 database tomorrow so you easier can reproduce my issues.

Btw. Should it work with the MPext. Provider for tv so I can use the MP1 tv server on my HTPC and only use MP2 server in a virtual machine on my laptop? I mean together with MPExt 2 for TAS. I want to avoid installing MP2 with tv server part on my HTPC for now. And I cant test TAS without a tv card on my laptop.

morpheus pointed out that I forgot to implement the Interface changes in the MPExtended Provider. I have to do that anyway. So I will do that and than you can test it with MPExtended^^
I just implemented Radio today So you can test both. Next is Schedules oO

Just checked the source and the MPExtended provider is on the client side. So I don't know what exactly morpheus wanted to be extended on the MPExtended side in regards to my interface extensions.
In short: you need NativeTv, sorry for that.

Long answer:
If you use nativeTv it is like this:
MP2 Server with NativeTv <----> NativeTvProvider (ClientSide) <---> SlimTvClient (ClientSide)
If you use MPExtended it is like this:
MPExtendedProvider (ClientSide) <---> SlimTv (ClientSide)
My changes are on the bold part. So sorry for the bad news.

I understand that. I use a SAT>IP/Cable>IP Tuner for that. I don't know if you have access to such a device. DVBViewer RecordingService provides SAT>IP Tuners, but this woul require to install that on your HTPC.

Another thing which could work is to setup IPTv. But I don't know if there are some free services...

Probbaly a good idea

And could you provide me the link for teh FanArt with the wrong Aspect ratio?

 

[johanj]

Thanks for that.

Can you also give me pointers of what files to copy from the MPExt tv plugin? In plugin There are folders for both client and server and when browsing through posts in forum it seems that one shouldnt replace the server side files.

You have made huge progress the last couple of weeks. How much will you be able to work on this when school starts?[DOUBLEPOST=1445185480][/DOUBLEPOST]Wrote when you posted. Ok so I will not bother about MPExt tv plugin. Will check fanart url later.

Just for your information: It looks like the server part just extends the Fanartprovider and enables you to get Tv Logos

Good questions and hard to answer.
TAS is almost completely implemented. Some Recording functions are missing and most important Schedules

Don't know what you miss in the MAS? Most of it is bug finxing right now^^ WSS is also in pretty good shape.
WifiRemote needs some more love^^

Hmm I justed checked google and there doesn't seem to be a nice solution...
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13230414/case-insensitive-access-for-generic-dictionary

Actually I don't know what I should do now... Two options:
1) leave it case sensitive
2) put the dirty hack into a function and apply it to all calls.

Opinions?

I didn't check the link yet. But you can create a dictionary with passing a StringComparer.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase. Then the access by a string key is case insensitive.

Thank you for jumping in
In fact I know that, but I the Dictionary is created by our HTTPServer, so for your suggestion I would need to modify the HTTPServer.

With Hack is was talking about these two methods:
1) using LINQ

var item = MyDictionary.Where(x => x.Key.ToLower() == MyIndex.ToLower()).FirstOrDefault();
    if (item != null)
    {
        TheValue = item.Value;
    }

2) Copy the case sensitive dictionary to a new case insenitive dictionary

MyDictionary = new Dictionary<string, int>(
  MyDictionary, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

Don't know what is better... Probably 1) implemented as a helper function?

current code looks like this:

public dynamic Process(IHttpRequest request)
  {
  HttpParam httpParam = request.Param;
  string channelId = httpParam["channelId"].Value;
