[QUOTE="toastboy, post: 360971, member: 87277"] [b]great success[/b] I just managed to build the SVN tree into a DLL and get this working between my MP server and xbox using the python plugin. It's exactly what I was hoping for, huge thanks to the developers. :thx: Teething problems are : - english subs appearing on lots of programs, not sure if this can be switched off in XMBC, still looking [edit] found it - hit "start" on xbox while playing video, select audio options, disable subs - starting a channel always seems to go back to the start of the timeshift buffer, unless I go to the top of the channel tree and select "stop timeshifting". still fiddling with this to see if I can stop it happening These are minor annoyances that I'm sure I can find ways around though. Congrats on the progress so far. [edit] Thought I'd best try to do something to help people get this working, so I've uploaded an archive to RapidShare and written a simple guide to smooth the installation for others. [url]http://rapidshare.com/files/183360314/MP_XBMC_PLUGIN.zip.html[/url] 1 - Download and extract the archive from the RapidShare link above 2 - Copy TVServerXMBC.dll to "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\Plugins" on your MediaPortal server machine. 3 - Run MediaPortal "TV-Server Configuration" on the MediaPortal server 4 - Select plugins and click the checkbox next to "XBMC Server" 5 - Click "OK" to close the config 6 - If you want to watch recorded content, share the recordings dir from your MediaPortal server and make sure the share is named "recordings" 7 - Reboot your MediaPortal server machine (or stop/start the "TV Service" service) 8 - In the "TVServer" directory you extracted from the archive edit the file "TVServer\resources\settings.xml" 9 - Change "192.168.1.2" for the IP address of your MediaPortal Server and save the file 10 - FTP the "TVServer" directory to your xbox into the dir "Plugins\Video" under the XBMC installation directory (e.g. e:\apps\xbmc\plugins\video") 12 - In the XBMC menus, goto "Videos", select "VideoPlugins", "TV Server", "Live TV" then "all channels" You should see a list of channels and be able to play them. If a channel doesn't work first time, try again as sometimes it fails even with the full MediaPortal Client on a PC. If the plugin won't show up in XBMC, be sure it's uploaded to the right place (e.g. the "e:\apps\xbmc\plugins\video\tvservice" dir contains default.py, default.tbn, MPTv and Resources) and that you have the latest T3CH XBMC.
