Hi Dan,

What's the current build requirements for EMM? Is it studio 2015 or 2013? Also which VLC version (2.2.1? 32 or 64bit?) does it need, as that seemed to be one of the pain points with the VLC COM interop library.

I tried building it a few of days ago and had issues.

I was hoping to update the performance tweaks I did a while back and do some pull requests.

Thanks,
Chris

Yes, VLC is a pain. VLC has only a x86 (32bit) COM plugin, thats the reason why we only can build Ember as x86. I'm currently testing some other solutions with libVLC, maybe we can remove the ActiveX plugin.
The easiest way is to unload the VLC addon from Ember project tree.

I'm currently working with VS 2015, but it works also with 2013.
Please read the thread for more informations: HowTo compile the latest version of Ember from SourceCode

Thanks Dan, I suspect I looked before you did the howto (and last time I did a build (6 months ago on the 1.3.x branch) it happily loaded and built in visual studio)

Dan,
have you looked at this?
http://libvlcnet.codeplex.com/
http://libvlcnet.sourceforge.net/

LibVLC is out of date. Check this one from NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Vlc.DotNet.Core/

[DanCooper]

zbobo5 has many up-to-date projects, one of them will be a solution for us: https://www.nuget.org/profiles/zebobo5

ok will look into that.

I've done the swap... but how do I test it? never used the trailers

[m.savazzi]

Team,
I'm testing the new images dialog and have some serious problems.
I've scraped the video. I select a poster , click on the fanart, select a fanart...
but when I go back to poster the one I've choosen is NOT selected...

I do not understand how it should work...

Bug on Scrape trailers dialog: every time you press Scrape Trailes the trailers already existing get added to the list

Use the contexmenu to add an image as result.

VLC is a damn nighmare
Even the cool libraries dan found work well just in x86. on x64 the Forms component does not load.
In x86 if I dynamically create the object it is "dead" does not respond to event... If embed it in the form... it crashes on load
Obviously simple projects works

I've build the latest version from source and installed it and wanted to test the new kodi settings but I can't connect to kodi after using the test button and the log shows the following error:

The Settings are correct and http://10.0.42.123:8080 points to the webinterface just fine
