NPVR IEventNotification

[ralphy]

Has the implementation for event notification changed from PVRX2? I can get the start up messages logged, but don't seem be getting any events notified or errors display. What am I missing? (This plugin will not have a skin, but runs in a separate thread to process events received from NPVR) Do we still get all the same events (and more?) in NPVR as we did in PVRX2?

Code:

namespace Test
{

public class TestEventNotify: IEventNotification  
  {

   public   TestEventNotify()
    {
     Logger.Debug("Debug Test Message");
     Logger.Error("Error Test Message");
     Logger.Info("TestEventNotify: Version " + this.GetType().Assembly.GetName().Version.ToString() + " .ctr called by plugin or config");

      }
    
       public void Notify(string eventType, object eventText)
        {
        try
           {
        Logger.Debug("TestEventNotify: EVENTS NOTIFIED: eventType= " + eventType.ToString());
        Logger.Debug("TestEventNotify: EVENTS NOTIFIED: eventText= '" + eventText.ToString() +"'");
        }

        catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Logger.Error(ex.Message);
        Logger.Error(ex.ToString());
    }
}

}

}

I use this line in the constructor

EventBus.GetInstance().AddListener(this);

Thanks Martin,

That gets me going - now the rest of the funs starts!

making an lcd/vfd interface?

Actually, looking at porting this. Haven't looked at the code for a year now, and had to reinstalled the IDE, that got wiped out after several reloads of the OS in the past year.

Just started and looks like a potentially large task to come up to speed on the changes. Whilst some things are easy to find (eg Logger.Verbose can be changed to Logger.Debug), others are a bit more troublesome, since equivalent methods are [yet] there, methods have become fields and enumerated values are different etc etc etc.:eek: And that just to get the project to compile.

same here..i modified the imon plugin to use the registry to store the info and retrieved it with lcdsmartie..
been using it for years now on all my vfd's..
even made a drive temp warning system to monitor smart data with voice alerts..

i was wondering if you could add an option to export the events to a reg key so it can be retrieved by other progs?
[making it available for anyone who uses LCDSmartie]
the combo works nicely because smartie formats data nicely for vfd and can add in other system info etc..
my imon plugin was only used to export the events..reg is fast and reliable and hasn't given me a bit of trouble yet..
i remember your old plugin, use to for a while till i made my own..
[now i'm in same boat, re-installs ate my IDE..]

This might be possible by simply adding another driver, but Im sorry pBS, not sure if I have the energy for this. If you were inclined to do so, have a look at the MediaPortal code for the drivers to see what might be involved and let me know what you think.

actually, if the above code works to extract events, that may be all i need...
is there any more code needed for above sample?
i just need the raw events, all the rest i do in a helper app already..[sql lookups,now/next,etc]

if you have something working that just logs the events, i'd be most grateful

redirecting same data to registry is easy..just one line..

hmmm,trying to get above code running...where do i put the EventBus.GetInstance().AddListener(this); ?
do i replace the Notify(string eventType, object eventText) with it?

You would probably want to put it in

Code:

public   TestEventNotify()
    {
     Logger.Debug("Debug Test Message");
     Logger.Error("Error Test Message");
     Logger.Info("TestEventNotify: Version " + this.GetType().Assembly.GetName().Version.ToString() + " .ctr called by plugin or config");
     [color=darkred]EventBus.GetInstance().AddListener(this); [/color]
