Testbuilds for SlimTV using TVServer+MPExtended - Updated for 2.2 (2018-10-09)!

New SlimTV Testbuilds using MPExtended provider

Please read our wiki page TV_support for a description of the different operation modes first!

This thread provides download of frequently updated testbuilds of SlimTV with the MPExtended provider. All versions are full installers, based on MP2 Alpha 4 and includes all other fixes and new features since then.

Because all client side features of SlimTV are developed for both MPExtended and NativeTV builds, both builds also have a common change log. Please see this post for details: Testbuilds for Native MP2 TV - Updated for 10th AE Update 1 (2014-09-13)!

The new available MediaPortal 2 Alpha Release does not yet include TV features.

The goal of SlimTV Plugin is to provide a basic TV support and to develop the GUI features. It is already designed to be flexible to work with so called "providers". Currently it uses Tv4Home service to connect the MP1 TvServer. Also there is a port to MPExtended available soon.

For installation requirements and steps please check the wiki page MediaPortal Wiki

Some example screens from the Reflexion skin:


New version v02 (04.03.2012)

• Improved multi-channel TV guide (Reflexionskin only):
  • highlight the current running program
  • current time indicator bar
• Added support for MPExtended as provider, including authentication support (based on version 0.4.2)
  • Important: You can only have one provider in your MP2-Client plugin folder, if you put in both it won't work! This also means: remove the SlimTV4HomeProvider before adding the MPExtended one!

New version v03 (19.03.2012)

• Added channel zapping support in fullscreen (keys: PageUp/PageDown)
• Improved multi-channel TV guide:
  • Added scheduling options for programs
  • Added "Record now" for running programs
  • Highlight of scheduled programs (Reflexion skin only!)
• Fixed graph rebuilding issues i.e. when changing HD/SD channels

The SlimTVClient (v03) does also include some updates for VideoPlayers and Reflexion skin. Overwrite existing files with the contents of archive!


MP2 Alpha 1 Autumn Release (11/2012)
The current (2012/11) Autumn Release has this plugin and the MPExtended provider for 0.43 already included.

If you have updated to the new released MPExtended 0.5 then you will need to install the attached updated for the SlimTvMPExtendedProvider!

Just extended the wiki;
Installation:

Unzip the contents to folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\Plugins", that's all.

 

Seems you don't have Tv4Home service installed on your local PC. When you are running TvServer on this PC, also install Tv4Home on it.

You can also access a Tv4Home service on another PC, then you need to change the server name inside settings. Please check http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/MediaPortal_2_Alpha_Release/3_Additional_Plugins for more details
