[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1138143, member: 82144"] Okay, that's a good start. :) Alright. [B]Please answer these 2 questions.[/B] [B]What type of blaster do you have?[/B] From the IRSS screenshots that you attached previously, I thought you had a MCE-compatible blaster. However, I'm now unsure. If you're using a blaster that came with the Colossus, it may be a Hauppauge blaster. If you have a Hauppauge blaster then your configuration is completely wrong. [B]What is this "IR blaster config" that you refer to?[/B] Please post a screenshot. [B]Please read the following very carefully.[/B] As I told you several posts ago, one of the reasons the blaster is not working could be: [B]WinTV and this "IR blaster config"[/B] [B]will prevent IRSS from using the blaster (!!!).[/B] In other words, you have to [B]completely[/B] close/stop WinTV and "IR blaster config" in order for IRSS to have any chance of being able to control the blaster. WinTV is a Windows service ("HauppaugeTVServer")... which means it is still running in the background even when you close WinTV (!!!). You have to make sure you stop that service. After you've closed WinTV, you have to restart the IRSS service to enable IRSS to successfully open/load the blaster. ...and then you have to restart the MediaPortal TV Server service, to ensure the TV3 Blaster plugin gets the correct information from IRSS. The only chance you have to get the blaster working is if you do [B]all[/B] of the above things [B]in the correct order.[/B] [/QUOTE]
