Hi,

Forgive the Noob-like questions, but I'm having a little problem in running the compiled version of MP as a client (I have a TV server/client set up).

Prior to compiling the source, I tested my set up with the precompiled builds (ie. installing MP 0.2.2.0, then latest SVN and finally the TvServer plug in). This seemed to work fine - ie. It connected to the TV server and I got video, epg and channel data fine.

So knowing that was working, I uninstalled all this. I then compiled the same SVN build of MP. I then copied over the TvServer plug-in files into the same folder structure, and assumed this would work the same... It didn't

The compiled app runs fine, but I get no video or audio - just a black screen. I get the EPG and channel data fine though, so there's some communication with the server. Also, If I click on the 'TV Streams' button on the client, it shows that it's streaming the channel to the client!

I also noted that the 'My TV' top level menu item is not there, instead it's hidden away in the 'Plugins' section.

Is it not just a simple case of compiling and running the application? Obviously, the installer is doing something extra, other than copying the files in to the MP folder. I just need to know what I need to do to make my compiled version work the same as the installed version.

Basically, I want to set up a workflow for myself that allows me to compile an MP client and run it easily. So, any tips would be most appreciated!

Sorry if this makes no sense.

Cheers,
Taz.
