Right to left (1 Viewer)

[ykamchi]

Hi all,


I am trying to set MP to show Hebrew from right to left. I could not find any way of doing it but changing the following line in the code:

GUIFont.cs

_useRTLLang = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.TextInfo.IsRightToLeft;


How do I configure this parameter without the need to compile the code after each SVN update????



Thx,
Yohay

Hi,

I have just installed Media Portal in a server-client configuration and can't seem to work around the RTL-LTR issue as well.

In a single mode configuration, with no SVN build installed the hebrew thingie works fine.
Sadly I need the latest SVN to support server-client properly

1. Have you managed to work around this issue ?
2. If the answer for 1 is "No", where can I find the SVN C# sollution for recompilation ?

thank you

Runny,

Nice to know that there are other users in Israel . The link to the SVN is:

https://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mediaportal/trunk



In order to work around the RTL problem, you need to modify the code:

GUIFont.cs: _useRTLLang = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture.TextInfo.IsRightToLeft; -> _useRTLLang = true;

I am still waiting for a fix in the SVN to avoid using this patch. I will notify you when (if) I will have it.

BTW, can you share your setup? I am having problems with the tv picture quality and would like to know if something in my setup is wrong.

my setup is:
Hauppauge PVR 150
Toshiba (Regaza) TV
Nvidia 6200
HDMI -> DVI
Yes with s-video over SCART.
2 CPU 2.3GH
2G memory


Thx,
Yohay

Hi Yohay,

Thank you for the link I will look it up later and let you know how/if it works.

My setup:
Server :
Hauppauge PVR 150 (MCE Version)
HOT with composite connection
AMD +2500 CPU
0.5GB of Memory
RADEON 9200 Display Card

Client:
34" CRT TV (Client)
AMD 3500 CPU
2GB of Memory
OnBoard X1200 Display Card connected to a 34" CRT TV

The picture quality seems fine, the only downside is that the streaming reduces quality (bandwidth issues)
On a single machine setup I had issues with signals breaching the HOT decoder causing fade white stripes on my screen(tried using a capacitor filter with no success). Now it's almost invisible .

Runny,

Thanks for the reply. It is impossible to compare between our setups in order to learn about the quality because you are using CRT 34" TV and I am using LCD 42" TV. Before I moved to the LCD i also had good results, but for the 42" LCD 16:9 the quality of the picture that YES give is too low.



Thx,
Yohay

 

[Runny]

Maybe YES are just manipulating the picture (like HOT does) and not broadcasting pure 16:9 picture.
Do you get same fuzzy results in 3:4 mode ?

One more question:
How do I download the entire .sln (project) as the link you gave me is a HTTP site.
Is there a FTP ?

thanks
Runny

I'm having the same problem with Hebrew being displayed from left to right.
It started a couple months ago with one of the SVN's for 0.2.3.0 Stable. I had to go back to the stable version to fix this, as I mentioned here:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal_svn_snapshot_11_18_2007_00-t31360.html
I know that there are more users experiencing this problem. You can search the HTPC forum at www.hometheater.co.il if you want.

ykamchi, is there any way to update the SVN's with your fix?

 

[ykamchi]

Erez,

Unfortunately no. You need someone from the development team to do it for you. The fix that I have is not something that should be checked in to the SVN, but a patch that I did for working around the problem. As to what I understood from the forum, RTV did some fix for this issue and if you configure your "language and regional settings" in some way it should work for you. I didn't manage to do it, so I did the patch.

Thx,
Yohay

Thanks for the quick reply Yohay,
I think I'll start a new thread a the bug report forum.

patch?

Hi Yohay,
You mentioned a patch for the LTR hebrew problem, is it the changes to the code or something easier for the newbie to do?

BTW: regarding while lines on the screen (mentioned earlier on this thread), i had that problem with Hot cable box, and solved it by disconnecting the grounding wires from the antenna plug (the "Sikuch"), i only left the copper internal wire connected.
