SlimTvClient - Watch TV in MP2, including PiP support

SlimTvClient provides an easy way to watch TV inside MP2. It depends on a few other components that have to be installed first:

• TVServer of MediaPortal 1.2 or later  - can be installed on same PC running MP2 (singleseat) or any other PC (multiseat)
•  MPExtended Service 0.43 (or higher)  - intalled on the same PC as TVServer!
  • Download: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/th...-0-4-3.103873/
• For playback the "TsReader.ax" needs to be installed
  • when running on a PC with MP1 installed, it is available by default!
  • Download: https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/blob/master/DirectShowFilters/TsReader/bin/Release/TsReader.ax?raw=true, then run "regsvr32 tsreader.ax" as Administrator to register the filter
• Remark:
  • Alpha 1 Release had support for the older Tv4Home Service. As this one is obsolete and completly replaced by MPExtended we also dropped support for Tv4Home provider.

Installation:

Unzip the contents to folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client\Plugins", that's all.

Features

Currently this version does mainly one thing: you can watch one or more TV channels in MP2 using TVGuide data. SlimTV Client is not limited to only one TvServer in you network! If you have multiple TvServers installed, you can access them concurrently.

You have a TV guide (EPG) view available, but for current state it has no recording scheduling implemented. It's planned to extend the features of this part much more.

Configuration

When all requirements above are met and you work in single seat, no more settings are needed.

For multi-seat and multiple TVServers please enter the names here:

Home->Settings->Plugins->TV->Tv4Home Server Adresses
