Replacement for "Check Email" plugin?

[ww4397]

Is there a version of the Check Email plugin that works with the latest version of GBPVR?

This is/was a handy plugin.

Thanks.

Or did anyone manage to download the source before it was removed?
I also found it a very useful plugin at the time.

I am setting myself up here to be wrong, but you can get it to work by creating skin\blue\background.jpg I believe.

I contacted the Check Email author and he sent me the source and installer script. I rebuilt a version that seems to work with PVRX2 and posted it to the wiki. Had to tweak the code a tiny bit to get it to work.

He's ok with distributing the code but it has to be GPL/LGPL. Has there been a consensus on hosting plugin code? I'm still using sourceforge for XSuite.

Unfortunately the plugin repo. http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=39487 isn't GPL so it will not accept this plugin.

I have just tried it and it works fine - Thanks

There is no consensus. Sourceforge is fine if that is what you are familiar with. Google code is another one.

Ok I checked in the code into sourceforge in a new module called "CheckMail" under the cdkandxsuite project since that project is GPL. This is the code that works with PVRX2.

Thanks for your work.
It runs on mine, but always returns 0 mail, so I'll have a peek at what its trying to do.

Hi,

Thanks for updating this plugin fla!

Is there a way to enable the main screen panel, the one that show the number of emails? I've ticked the check-box in config, but nothing shows up on the main panel.

Thanks again.
