Purpose

• Required:  Yes (if the plugin uses/depends on

  HtmlAgilityPack.dll

  )
• Type of Change:  Rework

Description of Change

Beginning with MediaPortal 1.6 we are distributing the HtmlAgilityPack.dll v1.4.6 within MediaPortal. This change was required to fix the allmusic.com scraper. Thus, plugin developers no longer need to include HTMLAgilityPack with any plugin, and should reference the 

MP.Externals.HTMLAgilityPack

subsystem*.*

Compatibility

See the version compatibility  article for more information.

This change resulted in an increase of the compatibility version of the MP.Externals.HTMLAgilityPack subsystem. This means, that if your plugin has an

[UsesSubsystem("MP.Externals.HTMLAgilityPack")]

, you need to update your compatibility information. Your unchanged plugin won't install and work anymore on an MediaPortal 1.6 installation.

Changing the compatibility information is done in the

CompatibleVersion

attribute. The new version number should be

1.5.100.0

, which is the version number of the MediaPortal 1.6 Pre Release.

Note: If your plugin is affected by this change but doesn't have the corresponding

UsesSubsystem

attribute, that's a bug in your plugin too. Please add the

UsesSubsystem

attribute for the MP.Externals.HTMLAgilityPack subsystem, and any other subsystem you use, to help improve the user experience in future upgrades.
