[My apologies for almost duplicating: I sent it to a wrong MP forum]
I've bought a PVR150MCE (UK version) card which comes with a IR receiver, 1 blaster and the remote itself.
The receiver seems to be made by SMK and has 2 ir-blaster ports.
The remote works natively with MP like a charm.
[By the way, the picture of the European remote in the config wizard has only 2 "My" buttons while mine has four: MyTV MyMusic, MyPictures and MyVideos, all of them work]
However IR Blaster doesn't work. I am using very recent MP version (mediaportal-cvs-02-28-2006--01-10) and I have installed myblaster pluging. It seems to me that the plugin cannot recognize the receiver.
The Learn and Test Features are grayed out and blaster Blaster.exe /dump (v 0.1.2.20463) gives the following:
And the log from mcelearn.exe (v 1.0.1912.31578) is:
I am using recent version (mediaportal-cvs-02-28-2006--01-10)
After reading other posts and surfing the source files I believe that the inclusion of device and vendor information is required in both RemoteBlaster.cs and MCEDevices.cs files. Being very optimistic, I tried yesterday to make the compilation on my own. I downloaded VB2005 Express Edition just to discover that I had no idea about compilers or compilations.
To the author/s of myblaster plugin (Smirmuff, i believe) or other myblaster experts (e.g. Scoop).
Q1: Is this modification necessary?
Q2: Could you make this change for the next build of myblaster.
Q3: Could this next build be made soon?
And finally another one which is almost a question of honor: Is there a brief and simple primer or tutorial that teaches you how to compile a VB project when you have all *.csproj, *.cs and *.sln files?
Thanks in advance.
