sergem1 has created a wonderful plugin for Russian TV On Demand from ETVNet for Mediaportal. Unfortunately it didn't work for me on Vista with Mediaportal 1.0.2 . So I have made a few minor code modifications to make it work (and also added some improvements). The following things were added/fixed:

* Use g_player.Play even in VMR9 mode, as PlayVideoStream did not seem to work. Unfortunately this means no OSD, but hopefully this will be fixed in a future Mediaportal release.

* Fixed the Cyrillic On-Screen Keyboard to work properly with spaces etc.

* Convert HTML Entities in the show description to make it human readable.

* Fixed ETVNet XML parsing. They seem to have changed a few bits.

* Converted everything in the code to Unicode.

* Use Blue3 and Blue3wide instead of BlueTwo.

Updated plugin is attached.

Please note, you are using a non-cyrillic language in mediaportal you won't see any output from the on-screen keyboard until you edit strings_.xml file in the language directory of Mediaportal and modify the line
