eventTrigger [v1.3.5 Beta] | Page 16

I still don't get it. Any volume change is caused by you, using the remote or the keyboard, right? So why would MP be better at handling it than EG? If MP knows there has been a change, EG knows as well. All you need to do is work some more on your EG tree. For instance, to handle the standby issue, you can have an EG macro triggered when the PC wakes up that sends an unmute to the amp and the PC, making sure they are in sync. You can also have a EG macro that is triggered by Windows right before the standby occurs, which contains whatever actions you need to make sure your system is in a known state.

Hi,

1) This is what I was thinking too.
2) Perhaps, but I don't know. Is anyone else able to see Play, Pause, and Stop events when mounting ISOs or MKVs?

Thanks for the plugin!

Doug

I have no problems with ISOs. Play, Pause and Stop all work as expected, so you don't need to add any specific support for that. Once mounted, the ISO is just seen as any other video file by MP. The events I get are Main.Mediaportal.Video.Play, Video.Pause and Video.Stop. This is with MP 1.2.2 and using Daemon Tools to mount ISOs. Mkvs also work fine. Doug, you must have a problem with your setup.

I'm using Virtual Clone Drive. I'll switch to DT and report back.

Just a thought: have you added .iso, .img and .mkv in the Video Extensions section of the MP Videos configuration? They are not there by default and not used by Moving Pictures, but needed for MP Videos. Maybe that's what eventTrigger needs as well?

I had .mkv, but not .img and .iso. I now see events for .mkvs (strange, given that .mkv was in my list). I still can't see events for ISOs and MP is occasionally crashing on ISOs when using EventTrigger. I suppose I'll just have to change all my ISOs over to MKVs,

Hi, there is a way to monitor process of mediaportal.exe and tvservice and restart when unexpectly fault appear?
Is possible to have mediaportal.exe as windows shell? And in case of crAsh Utomatically restart them self?

Yes, that's what the Watchdog setting does, under General in MePo Configuration

Ok, I'll try to clarify a bit.

If you play uncompressed audio Stereo PCM volume control information is send through the digital connection from PC to AMP (receiver) and things work as spected, but if you play compressed multichannel audio like AC3 or DTS, digital connections bandwidth is not enough and volume information isn't transmitted (only 100% volume). Al people having receivers well know that volume of films with multichannel audio can't be controlled with windows remote or kb and pick up their amp remotes to do that directly. Eventghost includes plugins to control external audio amps of Onkyo, Pioner, Cambridge audio... where volume control is directly managed by the amp (turning volume control wheel up or down). in fact a really powerful feature when MP audio is passtrought the external amp giving the best audio quallity possible. In this scenario, Windows volume changes are lost and that's the reason for my request.

Thanks
A
