Hello,
I'll be keeping this thread up to date with the latest test version of the plugin. When a test version proves reliable I will post a new Release Version of the plugin on the download section.
What's new in this test version?
Version 1.4.2: (Preview)
* Fixed Macro command for Multi-Mapping.
* Fixed XP and Replacement driver blasting bug that has existed since October.
* Fixed another XP and Vista suspend/resume bug. When will it all end?

* New macro commands (Send MP Action and Send MP Message).
* Can now set remote and keyboard repeat rates to mimic system keyboard repeat rate settings.
* Fixed a major STB Channel changing bug.
Preview 4:
* Fixed an SMK brand receiver issue that was preventing some from receiving remote buttons.
* Added protocol support for Pace Foxtel STBs. (Foxtel DC420NF user please verify).
RC1:
* Minor bug fixes and recompile for MediaPortal 1.0 RC1.
Version 1.0.4.1:
* Fix in Vista default driver suspend/resume handling.
* Slight change to STB blasting (might need to be reconfigured).
2007-12-18:
* Re-synchronized InputHandler with MediaPortal.
* Jens has helped me get 64-bit MCE remote support working properly, finally!

* Added a swag of new STB presets.
* Simplified Macro file format. Old macro's must be converted or rebuilt. This change will speed up the introduction of new features.
* There is a known issue with Standby/Resume in Windows Vista... Stay tuned.
2007-10-28:
- Modified IR learn method. This should improve blasting for some people.
- Fixed repeating IR decoding in JVC, RC5, RC6 and NEC protocols.
- Fixed Sony SIRC IR decoding, now works for 8, 12, 15 and 20 bit protocol variations (instead of just 15-bit).
- Added Daewoo, Matsushita, Mitsubishi, Nokia NRC17, Panasonic, and Toshiba protocol decoding.
- Attempted to fix Suspend/Resume problems. Please let me know if this still happens and what driver and Os you're using.
2007-10-12:
- Two versions. Please use debug when you find a bug to generate logs.
- Bug fixes.
- Bug in rename of IR commands and macros fixed.
- Fixed bug in External channel mapping.
- Missing path in installer added.
2007-10-10:
- Bug fixes.
- Added ability to rename ir commands and macros.
- Added ability to nest macros within macros.
2007-10-03:
- Bug fixed in button mapper.
2007-10-02:
- Complete rework of the device interface, bringing it into line with IR Server Suite.
- Lots of code refactoring. You will need to start almost from scratch...
2007-06-16:
- Installer now supports 0.2.3.0
2007-05-20:
- New feature that if proven useful I will integrate into MediaPortal: Ability to specify a window ID by number instead of just by name in the Input Mapper. This lets you specify any window as a condition (including 3rd party plugin windows) in the input mapper, and it also lets you specify any window as a jump to target. As I say, if it proves useful I will incorporate into MediaPortal.
2007-05-19:
- Forgot to upload this earlier, it now supports entering a window ID number for the Goto macro command. This lets you jump into plugins that were never part of the original distribution.
2007-04-14:
- Removed Toggle Window State macro command, it was causing crashes, though not with everyone it seems ... odd. I'll look at adding it back in later.
2007-04-08:
- New STB quick setup option for ADB 3100 and Scientific Atlanta 3250
- New macro commands (Toggle Input Layer, Toggle Window State, Get Focus, Exit MediaPortal, Standby, Hibernate, Reboot, Shutdown)
- Bug fixes, including input mapping fix for MediaPortal 0.2.2.0 version.
2007-03-23:
- Change to MCE Replacement plugin and driver to improve compatibility.
- Bug fix.
- Work in progress: new macro commands.
If you have any problems or suggestions please post in this sub-forum and make sure to mention what version of the plugin you're using, I'll keep this thread just for announcing new test versions.
Cheers,
