ASUS S-PRESSO How To Guide (1 Viewer)

[dexterash]

Hello HTPC and Mediaportal enthusiasts.

I'm trying to make a little how-to to make your life easier setting up mediaportal and the s-presso barebone, but it seems i need a little help.

What i could figure out so far:
*HomeTheater software that comes with s-presso is good only for trashing (at least they could let us, users, update it - NOPE)
*S-Presso's remote control works like a keyboard-so if you work your way out and remap teh whole shortcuts of MP it shoudl work very simple
*Touch-Screen(although is not a really touch screen, more like an inductive thing) works also as a keyboard-problem solved
*The volume indicator on the lcd is controlled by asus's own soft - no problem too
*Althoug the TV Tuner included isn't a top-of-line, it could do his job. I managed to make it tune, but i still want to figure out how to set manual frequencies.
*BIG PROBLEM: The other lcd, that is display infos and stuff. Couldn't figure out what is it.I'm sure it uses an USB interface, but the IC controlling it is labeled by asus and i'm almost sure is a dedicated one.

!!!So, if one of you electronic/programmers enthusiats out there could help me/us please join.

Now i promise i will post my final configuration files(at leasr for you lazy ones who don't want remote control reprogram), but please help me, if possible, make the LCD work.

Anyway, MP rules by it's high-power customization.

See ya...Or better, see the LCD. :lol:

S-Presso front panel display

Hi,

As you may have already noticed I started development on an Asus S-Presso MediaPortal plugin for driving the front panel display and buttons. For more information, see https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?t=10207. Please let me know what you think of it in that thread.

Ruud.

Hi dexterash, are you alive?
I'm an S-Presso owner and I'm interested to work it with mediaportal.
You say:

*S-Presso's remote control works like a keyboard-so if you work your way out and remap teh whole shortcuts of MP it shoudl work very simple
*Touch-Screen(although is not a really touch screen, more like an inductive thing) works also as a keyboard-problem solved

but for me isn't a solved problem.
Can you say me how to "tel" MP how take commands throught S-Presso's remote?
And by touch screen?
Have you a modified *.xml for this?
Thank you for your reply.
Bye
