[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1080693, member: 82144"] Thanks (y) So the screenshot "mp_remote_usbuirt_config": that section does not allow you to configure blasting, only receiving. The "let MediaPortal control your set top box" option is a leftover from the days before TV Server existed, when the TV functions were directly built into MediaPortal. Please untick that option and pretend it doesn't exist. It does nothing [helpful]. The screenshot "mpserver_tV3_config_card3.png": this is where I think the problem may be, though of course I'm not 100% sure. First thing I notice is that it looks like you didn't select your STB down the bottom ("quick setup"). Is that because your STB is not in the list? I also notice that all your commands are set as "Blast X|Default". Please could you humour me: edit each of the commands and select port "both", then restart the PC and try again. Aside from that I can't see anything obviously wrong. If that were the case, the "test" function in the blaster plugin wouldn't work. That function also goes through IRSS to the blaster. To be clear, the plugin itself never directly communicates with the USB UIRT (or any other hardware). I'm guessing a network port is used.
