Autostart TV plugin (3 Viewers)

[sadie]

don't want to sound like a noob but how do i actually install this plug-in, i have noticed that it isn't as simple as copy it into the plugins directory, so what is the process, i have searched the whole forum for a couple of hours now.

 

[wewe]

step1: you put the autostart.dll into the ...\plugins\process directory

step 2: you go the MP setup in the plugins section. There you have to activate and configure Autostart

That's it!


By the way:
I have a development partner now. We (mainly HE) managed to get rid of the "recorder busy" error. With some luck I will put a new version on the downlod site this weekend.

thanks&regards

ok, here is the new version:

https://www.team-mediaportal.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,35/func,fileinfo/id,88/

I have jake78 as Co-Author now - he fixed the "recorer busy"-error (So I am the Co-Author as he did the work :wink: ...)

:!: :!: :!: And there is an important new option: "Start after Resume" :!: :!: :!:

So now you can start fullscreen TV (or other media) also after resuming from standby! (unfortunately some of us [the authors included] are having the "MP hangs after resume from standby"-error which first has to be fixed in order to take advantage of that option. )

thanks+regards

This plugin autostarts if MP is INACTIVE after start or even if I try to do something it autostarts anyway???

 

[wewe]

it starts regardless what you are doing ...

thanks+regards

Feature request

Hi WeWe,

I can submit you a feature request ?

It's possible to start the desired function *only if* I don't press keys on the keyboard or on the remote control within the countdown time?

Regards,
xavier.

I think no. At least not without a redesign of the architecture .

Autostart is using the command queue of MP. It fires the command "do_this_or_that" into the queue and is done. There is no direct control of what is happening then.

sorry ...

thanks+regards

I think no. At least not without a redesign of the architecture .

Ok. Is the source code of your plugin available?

I am not surely better of you in to code writing, I ask only to learn.

Regards,
xavier.

 

[wewe]

the source code is available, sure.

But meanwhile jake78 implemented your request. I will test it that week and then upload the new version.

wait and contact me again if you still want the source.

thanks+regards

Feature requests?

Hi all,

I have a feature request that wouldn't be too hard to do I think?
I have a problem where Monday through Friday a channel here (ABC) plays kids shows in the morning. This is great as I have set the PC to boot automatically and play kids shows. This keeps the little kids happy until I get out of bed, a few minutes after them.

However on Saturday & Sunday the same channel plays music videos. As you'd know, some music videos are very sexually orientated.
I don't mind them for myself but they are a bit much for little kids, plus the kids get bored with some of the tracks.
My feature request is simple: the ability to choose different channels for different days of the week.
Note: I have actually written a VB script that runs at startup and changes the channel (in Mediaportal.xml) to whatever I want, based on the day of the week.
So I don't need this feature request but it would be neater if the plugin did this itself.
BTW. If anyone wishes a copy of this script in the meantime, I am happy to send it to them.

Great plugin by the way!

I could try and implement this feature request myself if you could send me the source code, please? :?:
