Hello,

how can I save settings from my own Plugin in the mediaportal configuration/plugins ? Like Strings, Int's and so on. Properties.Settings.default.XXX isn't working here :/

Thanks Epstone

I ran in to the same problem. Would love to know how to save and retreive my plugin settings with media portal.

Anyone?

    Hi,

    here is an example for loading settings from the config:
    Settings.cs - jabber-mp - Google Code

    and here is one for writing settings to the config:
    Settings.cs - jabber-mp - Google Code

    There are some more methods besides SetValue() for datatypes other than string, the code hinting of your IDE should point them out.

    To encrypt a string (passwords for example) have a look at this:
    Settings.cs - jabber-mp - Google Code

    and to decrypt at this:
    Settings.cs - jabber-mp - Google Code

    Hope that helps,
    Shukuyen.

    Actually, you just reminded me of how I have handled this in the past: I merged the contents of an old export.xml with a new one to make a complete file containing the old values I needed and the new values I didn't want to change. Why should it matter if the export file is missing some values? I would expect the import process to...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
