[QUOTE="morpheus_xx, post: 668749, member: 48495"] [b]AW: TV Server hardware-specific code refactoring[/b] Hi all, nice to see this development here, based on the interface IHardwareProvider. probably you don't know that this interface was only one single part of a major rework I did in my old branch: [url]https://sources.team-mediaportal.com/svn/public/branches/morpheus_xx/TvEngine3/TVLibrary[/url] the features there moved TV hardware specific code into plugins, modified the whole CI / Diseqc handling to use the interfaces and a lot more. this stuff never got into the trunk, when I developed it 1 year ago we had feature freeze, now I won't port the changes, because I think it's too "late" for such quite big rework. But maybe you can get more ideas how to restructure the tv handling, please check the branch I mentioned above! Morpheus_xx Edit: some more information, because there were only a developer-internal thread about this topic: ---------------- quoting ---------------- I made big progress in reworking the hardware support.
