Remove Plugin MBT

[Erik 124]

I noticed while I was playing around with the netflix plugin in MBT, and when I attempted to remove it, the process completes, but the plugin remains even after several attempts and restarts.

I also had this same issue.  

 

I am running Windows 7 and clicked install before I saw the Windows 8 Only warning, so I figured that was the issue.  Are you running Win8 or Win7?

I will look in to the issue now

[Luke 42077]

i think it's the target file name in your package not matching the namespace. we should have documented that.

[snazy2000 344]

Found the issue, I have updated the package manager with the updated version, you will need to remove the current file manually to then be able to install the new version.

 

To remove the file go to %appdata% and look for MediaBrowser-Theater then go to the plugins folder and remove the plugins that your having issues removing.

 

Then you must re download the new version

What's not matching?

[Luke 42077]

Because we load the plugin assembly into memory before bringing it into the AppDoman, it's no longer linked to the .dll file so the best we can do to get to the file name is

 

        public string AssemblyFileName

        {

            get

            {

                return AssemblyName.Name + ".dll";

            }

        }

 

so we either document this requirement, make it virtual, or both.

so he goes to uninstall the plugin, and it looks for a file with that name, which isn't the same as the one defined in the package.

Ah, okay.  Thx.

[snazy2000 344]

Yes that was the issue I have updated all my files now sorry I didn't realise it was like that would be nice if it could read thebfile name then wouldn't have that issue

Not to hijack but i cant get the kylo plugin working, i installed kylo, mbt keeps telling me it cant find the file.

Will try the above suggestion though.

Edit-still says it cant find the file specified for kylo.

Yes i had the same issue last night was going to look in to why that didn't work for @@Luke today

[snazy2000 344]

The reason it doesn't work it because when installing Kylo you need to select the Current User section and not All Users because the way the plugin currently works it reads it from the appdata directory.
