Has MPTray been updated for Win7? (1 Viewer)

[reverson1]

I'm not sure if I posted this in the right place or not...


I've searched the forums the past couple of days and I'm having difficulty finding out whether or not MPTray has been updated for Win7?

If it has, could someone please point me in the right direction to download both it and the source code for it?

Thanks
Richard

Does anyone know if this has been updated or not?

did you try mptraymod?

 

[reverson1]

Thanks for the link.

I downloaded the file, but when I run it the tray icon never appears but the process is running in task manager.

Also, when I ran the source for mptray (which is very similar to the original code) the remote doesn't function at all. The devicearrival, deviceremoval, and onkeydown never get fired.



Is anyone here using mptray/mptraymod successfully on Windows 7?

Thanks for the help though...

Try this one - BUT it's a bit ambiguous as to what it does exactly...
I would be interested if it works! (not tried it...)

Thank you SpudR. I'll check it out in the morning. As a quick test I ran the exe and the icon showed up in the systray - so that is progress hopefully it will work with the remote!

It isnt designed to have a tray icon, so you're not missing anything there.

Ronlise is a bit of an MPTray guru. You could try PMing him.

If you get it working, please post the fix, so others can make use of it.

I found a couple things (sorry about the lack of formatting - I didn't see any options to format the code...)

1. I needed to add my device path to the list of paths that are checked in Device.cs

(deviceInterfaceDetailData.DevicePath.IndexOf("hid#irdevicev2") != -1)) //Microsoft RC6


2. In OnReadComplete in Remote.cs the code for _deviceStream.EndRead(AsyncResult) has changed from 13 to 25 and the index of the key has changed from 5 to 9.


void OnReadComplete(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
{
try
{
int er = _deviceStream.EndRead(asyncResult);
if ((er == 13 || er == 25) && _deviceBuffer[1] == 1)
{
if (_deviceBuffer[5] == (int)_doubleClickButton && Environment.TickCount - _doubleClickTick <= _doubleClickTime)
{
if (DoubleClick != null)
DoubleClick(this, new RemoteEventArgs(_doubleClickButton));
}
else
{
if (er == 13)
{
_doubleClickButton = (RemoteButton)_deviceBuffer[5];
}
else
{
_doubleClickButton = (RemoteButton)_deviceBuffer[9];
}
_doubleClickTick = Environment.TickCount;

if (Click != null)
Click(this, new RemoteEventArgs(_doubleClickButton));
}
}

// begin another asynchronous read from the device
_deviceStream.BeginRead(_deviceBuffer, 0, _deviceBuffer.Length, new AsyncCallback(OnReadComplete), null);
}
catch { }
}

HTH
