[QUOTE="sjevtic, post: 976485, member: 118214"] No, the plugin is for DirecTV STBs only. As far as I can tell, SHEF is some proprietary protocol that DirecTV invented for automation environments to control their receivers over some sort of JSON/HTTP over IP interface. I haven't seen it implemented in any other STBs. Now, with that said, the plugin does provide a reasonable framework for controlling a STB over IP, or, with a bit more modification, over a variety of other interfaces. So, if you can find (or reverse engineer) the protocol for controlling your Motorola STB over IP, it shouldn't be that hard to modify the plugin to support it. The design is pretty simple. By the way, in the time since I've last posted in this thread, I found another issue with the plugin which causes a variety of problems when multiple streams (e.g., from multiple STBs) or multiple clients (e.g.,interactive timeshifting from TV client plugin, recordings, or MPExtended users) are present, the result of which is typically the loss of a or multiple streams for all clients as soon as one client moves away from a stream. I implemented a workaround, though I won't claim it's airtight. There might be some issues with the underlying events that TV-Server generates, though I haven't fully convinced myself of that yet. In any case, as soon as I have a bit of time, I'll post my source changes and a build of a new version of the plugin against TV-Server 1.3.0 binaries. Sasha [/QUOTE]
