Not sure if this is the best forum to post it, but I just do it here.
Downloaded mediaportal some days ago. Installed it on my X15e and although I like what I see of mediaportal, I found that it is useless for using it with the touchscreen (although I do see some topics in the fora that people actually use it) .
So I tried to find in these fora others that may have dealed with the issue and after reading all kind of topics, I haven't found a real solution. The problem here is that the trees dont allow me to see the forest. There is just too much information when you search for it. I don't think just anotrher skin is a solution. Someone mentioned that the 'window' of the touchscreen should be something completely diffrent from the window of the 'big' screen. And I agree.
So I had a look around in the code /debugger and found that the GUI plugins register themselves for I believe events and actions.
Not totally sure how it works, and I would like to get some more info about that.
My first question is , can I create a GUIplugin, without an interface. I just want to register it and get the events and actions, and what events and actions would I get then?
Could I write this GUIplugin so that it would communicate with an external dotnet application. So the GUI is actually in a totally different app? And all communication between the App en this
Mediaportal GUIplugin is via the network?
I did have a look at the webinterface, it's too basic for the tasks I have in mind.
What I really would like is to receive all events and actions then , So my app could keep state with what is happening in Mediaportal.
Is this possible.
One other question, I installed mediaportal RC2 (or is it RC3? how can I tell), also on my desktop pc. But when I do a fullscreen it freezes (1920x1280). Can it handle such a resolution?
On the X15e I also has a BOD once.
Thanks
Ben
