If so kindly document a simple guide to follow for others who may wish to implement the plug, I have spent several hours trying figure out the connection with no avail.

johanj 1 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yes, it's working for me. You need to use MB3 server beta version first of all. Enter the plugin and select channel group and streaming profile(use direct) And your MPExtended setup works fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanj 1 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Im on Version 3.0.5464.40000 The simple guide is already in the post from the creator of the plugin, search this forum for that thread. What MPExt version are you using? Do you have connection to MPExt.? I.e. can you select channel group and streaming profile in MB3 plugin setting? Also post logs from MPExt and MB3 server. Its hard to help without anything to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks anyway I shall give a try when my head is cleared. I thinks this is the guide you referenced to An MB3 Live TV Plugin for Media Portal V1 This has been tested with MB3 Server Version 3.0.5451.540 and MP Version 1.8.0. You may have to wait for the next release of MB3 before using this plugin. This has a prerequisite of installing MPExtended on the box that hosts MediaPortal. Both v0.5.4 and v0.6 are supported - however running v0.5.4 does not allow recordings to be deleted. However v0.6 does, so download and install from here: v0.5.4 - http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/updated-14-jul-mpextended-webmediaportal-0-5-4.114106/ v0.6 - http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mpextended-0-6-beta-release.125677/ MPExtended allows for testing of itself, please check that it is working correctly by opening the configuration (from the system tray icon) going to Troubleshooting and clicking the links displayed. You should see a browser with something like "{"ApiVersion":4,"HasConnectionToTVServer":true,"ServiceVersion":"0.5.4"}" displayed (depending on the version installed). We are only interested (currently) in the TV and Streaming services. Installation Copy to the Plugins folder of your MB3 install Restart MB3, and navigate to settings Go to plugins and to the configuration for Media Portal TV Plugin Configure the plugin, adding any authentication information. Save the configuration, without adding a Streaming Profile Click on Plugings again and re-enter configuration for Media Portal TV Plugin and now you are able to select a streaming profile. However, Direct is recommended as this deffers transcoding to MB3 Click on LiveTV and Refresh Guide Data Switch to the MB3 client UI and you shoud be good to go Known Limitations An MB3 Live TV Plugin for Media Portal V1 (1.8.0) This version has been tested with MB3 Server Version 3.0.5451.540 and MP Version 1.8.0. You may have to wait for the next release of MB3 before using this plugin. Program thumbnails are not yet supported MPExtended v0.5.4 does not allow deleting of recordings - please use v0.6 Beta as described above MPExtended doesn't currently support reading the genre mappings. I am working on an update to a fork of v0.6 in order to supply these values. Then the program meta data will be populated (IsMovie etc) Picking individual days for a series schedule (if more than one day is specifed and it is not Monday - Friday or Saturday - Sunday, we opt for recording everyday). This is not supported by MP1 Recording Only New Programs - This is not supported by MP1 Feedback I would appreciate any feedback by posting to this topic. Please raise any issues here: https://github.com/ChubbyArse/MediaPortalTVPlugin/issues if you don't have a GitHub login, post against this topic and I'll add them to the issues list.

johanj 1 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yes, that is the guide. But you no longer need to manually copy dll. Just install the plugin. Its critical that you restart server afterwards. Change settings. Save. Restart server. Did you see the channel group setting with values inside?

Guest Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Thanks for your help guys. But I think I will wait till I get a TV-Backend thats working (more or less) out of the box for me, before I start to tinker again. Till now I realy love Argus-TV and still hope that we can get a working plugin for it. But thats now offtopic from me. Have fun with MediaPortal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Have you tried a MySql database? Yes, and you're right, it seems to work with MySQL. But the performance of MySQL is rather poor compared to MSSQL on Windows. And I use my SQL Databases for other projects too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubby Arse 23 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Good. In an ideal world, everything would run on a single db technology - sadly that ain't the case! I shall be posting a sticky later tonight with the installation instructions that are currently on the plugin source code repo. So if you decide to stick with MP, you can get set up with MB3 integration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
