Auto3D plugin for MediaPortal 1.2 - 1.12 (GUI & TV/Beamer) (6 Viewers)

[Marcus Venturi]

A test version compatible with MediaPortal 1.12 is available in the first thread.

It has initial support for USB IR Toy.

http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/USB_Infrared_Toy

The goal is to support ALL devices with RC5 remote control protocol till the release of MediaPortal 1.13

ATTENTION: This is only experimental! (You will need firmware 2.4, see Dangerous Prototypes forum for that version.)

The format for the XML configuration files was changed. Therefore the setup will overwrite existing XML configurations. Please backup you original XML files if necessary.

More details will follow...

Uploaded a new version because the configuration file for LG had an error.

Uploaded another version (Auto3D_1.12_2) because in some situations Auto3D could hang on loading.
Sorry, but this time I did too much changes in the code

I created pull request to github repository with changes to support jointSPACE v5 in modern Philips TV models (since 2013) https://github.com/UnlimitedStack/Auto3D/pull/1 Please, check it

Wow!

Thank you very much. I will merge this with my latest changes. But it will take some time, as I have to finish another topic first.
I will come back to this next week.

Thank you so much for sharing your code!

I eventually got around testing that plug-in as I'm planning to watch some 3D content over the holiday season
I like very much how you can still browse MP while your 3D content is playing.
Since I was having issues with the auto switch I did configure the 3D menu to open when hitting the HID MCE Ext3 command and that works great.

However it seems that it's starving MediaPortal from some of the HID commands. For instance the 'Recorded TV' and Teletext Red, Green, Yellow and Blue keys are not reaching MP anymore when that plug-in is enabled. Though funny enough the 'Guide' HID command is still working. I understand you switched to SharpLibHid. You may want to review your usage of it.

Same problem here

I had a very quick look at the source code and could not find the place where you are using SharpLibHid. I could just have missed it though.
I'm not even sure how you can starve other applications from HID messages TBH, maybe it has something to do with the return value from WM_INPUT.
In any case I just double checked with the HID demo from the SharpLibHid project and it does not have this issue.
You can take a look at the HID demo source code here:

Actually it probably has something to do with your handling of WM_INPUT in respect to MP process plug-in framework. I remember ShortCuter plugin having a similar issue at some point.
Maybe @nicsergio could tell us what was the problem and how he fixed it.

I will check that in the coming days...
