Hi i'dlike to use this plugin with a optoma hd 300x videoprojector.do i have to do something special to make it works?and wich files do i have to download ? Thanks

Hi,
I've seen your plugin partially support Full SBS or Full TAB. How do you manage output video ? Do you resize from 3840x1080 to 1920x1080 and output this or do you alternate between left and right frame and output Full HD video ?
Thanks !

@gwares : The manual available online describes how to control the beamer over RS232. I will try to add support for that. I will notify you here if I have something to test.

@NicCo : Currently I resize to 1920x1080, for everything else there is currently no support in MediaPortal.

Hi @gwares ,

please post your logfiles. Then I can try to see what's going wrong.

Simultaneously we can try to get your beamer working. The manual for the Optoma beamer I got from their website contains a description how to control the beamer over RS232. If you want Auto3D to switch your beamer then you must have a serial connection from the PC to the beamer. If you PC has no serial port, you should get an USB to RS232 adapter.

With the protocol described in the manual I added some initial support for your beamer. The attached plugin works with MediaPortal 1.6.
Install the plugin and go then into the plugin configuration of the Auto3D plugin.

Then select the "Optoma Beamer" in the list and choose the serial port where the beamer is connected in the combo box. Then select config to go into the Sequence Manager. There you should select the checkmark "Send command on add to list". If you now add a command to the list, it is also sent to the beamer.

Try to send some commands to the beamer, e.g. "Menu", "Up", "OK" and check if the beamer reacts to them.
The goal of this first version is just to test if the connection to the beamer works and if the beamer does something.

Hi Marcus,

I'm having problem of frame drops every few seconds, and I believe it's related to the "Video analysis for Top and Bottom (TAB)'
Once disabled, problem no longer happens.
Since I did not have this problem before, and the same video works fine when in debug mode (no plugins), I figured it had to do with a process plugin. Since this is the only process plugin I've recently added, I disable the only feature that seems to have the potential of messing with performance...

Thanks,
Yoav

@gwares: You are using ViewModeSwitcher. Can you repeat the test with the ViewModeSwitcher plugin turned off. I currently have compatibility problems with ViewModeSwitcher. I'm working on a solution, but it will take some time. Please tell me if it works without ViewModeSwitcher or not.

@yoavain: Thank you for you hint, I will check this.
