Testbuilds for SlimTV using TVServer+MPExtended - Updated for 2.2 (2018-10-09)! (3 Viewers)

[morpheus_xx]

For all who are interested in the newer developments, please check this https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/testbuilds-for-native-mp2-tv.114068/#post-935273

Attentention: the linked thread is not about the Autumn Release/SlimTv-MPExtended, but for a "native MP2" version that does not require MP1 or other components.

What is related to this thread here are the differences in performance, because also the SlimTV client got improved (i.e. loading programs async ...)

Thanks - with that Version the delay is gone - looking Forward to a "public" Version with TV-Server integrated

For MP-Extended 0.5 you will need a new provider. I will publish it soon.

Hi
I have tried to set up slimtv as per plugin instructions - unzip to correct folder in single seat setup. I have running MPextended and MP1 etc. Plugin setting display in MP2 client. I have put in MP extended info. Nothing displays in the MP2 home screen. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
Neville

Hi morpheuse_xx,
i think I have a different issue with the new SlimTv Client for MP2alfa2 downloaded from here.
I have a new install of MP2 alfa2 (single seat server + client, Windows 8, TvWishList is not installed!) with MPExtended 0.5.1 (worked for the MP2 alfa1).
When starting SlimTV and going to the multichannel program view the following error message occurs:
MediaPortal.UI.Presentation.Workflow.WorkflowManagerLockException: The workflow manager cannot be locked for read operation 'CurrentNavigationContext' (deadlock?)
bei MediaPortal.UI.Services.Workflow.WorkflowManager.EnterReadLock(String operation)

let me know if you need more tests or logs.

morpheus_xx,
i got it running now. I had problems with the skins for Titan and Reflexion. After the new installation I had "All Channels" on as a default, which are in my case more than 1000 dvbs channels. I was not able to change the channel group, maybe due to too much activity on the GUI for all channels. When I switched to the simple Default Skin for MP2 i had no issues to switch the channel group and now everything is working fine. It looks like the error message above can be ignored.

SlimTv ExtensionBuilder not working

I could not get the extension builder to run. In SlimTv.Client I changed plugin.xml and removed the comments for:
<!-- Registration of the SlimTv extension builder for SlimTvProgramExtension items -->
<!--
Morpheus_xx:
This is an example for adding more actions for programs in TV Guide. Uncomment this item to see the "Example" action added.
This can be done from any plugin!
-->

</Register>

I did expect to get now the additional test item when clicking on the program guide, but got an error message:

Thanks for reporting! The issue was about changed namespaces, I fixed them and also made the loading more fail safe. Last changes are in https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2/commits/FEAT_SlimTvImprovements.

There is no Tve35 build for MP2-Alpha2 ready yet. I'm working on it in the next weeks.
