SYNTAX ERROR When Compile in Tradition. Chinese Windows XP (1 Viewer)

[Isaac Lin]

Some C# files are having syntax error, such as missing single quote on the right hand side of the question mark or backslash for the escape character. After I change these mistakes, it can compile C# solution in Traditional Chinese Windows XP. Is anyone known why I can compile source code in English version if I didn’t doing any modification? Please fix it in SVN serer if it is a bug. The files are including:

• Core\guilib\GUIFilmstripControl.cs
  Core\guilib\GUIListControl.cs
  Core\guilib\GUIThumbnailPanel.cs
  Databases\Video\IMDB.cs
  ProcessPlugins\ExternalDisplay\Setings.cs
  TVCapture\teletext\TeletextDecoder.cs
  TVCapture\teletext\TeletextPageRender.cs
  Utils\Web\Parser\Parser.cs
  WindowPlugs\GUIScript\MPSript.cs
  WindowPlugs\GUItrailers\GermanTrailers.cs
  Core\Util\HtmlToText.cs

Isaac Lin - Sounds like you are getting closer. That is good news!

Off topic - Maybe you can provide Chinese symbols (a screenshot or scan should work) for the equivalent of MediaPortal? Then maybe one of the artists could make it available (if it needs to be cleaned up - not insulting your graphic capabilities because I don't know) for a skin - similar to: vanessa_cl's minimalist japanese style skin.

Almost completed for supporting Traditional Chinese

I almost let MP display Traditional and Simple Chinese on TV, but I can not display all of the Chinese character which is not commonly used in daily life. Anyway, I almost test it for 2.5 months for display Chinese feature. The result of the testing is very good; however, the minimum of the video memory is 256 MB. If lower than 256 MB, the character is too small on TV. So I need to force scale value equal to one for particular font size.

Have you spoke with any of the developers on IRC?

no, becuase I cannot using IRC in my environment. Is it firewall cause this problem? Who should I contact?

you might be able to use the webbased access to irc:

https://www.team-mediaportal.com/component/option,com_mospjirc/Itemid,55/

frodo, dman or mpod are probably the best to talk to.

or upload all changed files to the sourceforge patches section:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=647927&group_id=107397&func=browse

you need to setup a sourceforge user account. And best announce the upload + description here in the forums.

I am going to register an account and upload changed files to source forge. Thanks for your advice.

My next step is planning how to improve capability of font engine, because some of the PNG file size is more than 2 MB and required 256 MB for video memory when you select Chinese in MP configuration screen. If anyone has an idea about how to improve font engine, please share with me.

:roll:
I have an question for GUI and font PNG file when I study MP source code. Why MP drawing text on screen?

I suggest you create a new topic here, with your question as the subject. Then it would get more attention.
