Has anyone successfully modded the mce unit to allow 3 ir blasters to be used. I'm trying to control my tv stb and amp?

I have changed all the IR-diodes on my brothers unit. and in the process I split the cable and added two diodes to one of the blasterports. I went to a store (Elfa in Sweden) and bought standard IR-diodes and 3.5mm headphoneplug and soldered it all together.

Glad it works!, I've got another diode for the mce spare so I get a mono phono splitter would work and would involve zero soldering!

It should work. The reason I changed the diodes was to increase the range of the blasters so that is just an extra feature.

I am not really sure I understand what you mean, is the purpose to add an extra receiver diode to the "recieverpuck" and extend it to another room? In that caste: Theoretically it should be possible, the question is how the signal deteriorates in the wires and how two parallel coupled diodes affect each other??? Only one way to find out :)

Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...

Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
