Hauppauge IR blaster support (1 Viewer)

LOVE Media Portal, but I'm going to have to use something else if I can't control my STB.

I'm not a programmer, but would be happy to test or do some legwork if it would help get the PVR 150 IR Blaster up and running.

Cheers!

Doesn't help, because no dev has that blaster. So it's pretty hard to develop a plugin for it...

Does anyone have any documentation on how it works? I have a PVR150 so maybe I can get something done...

I doubt if this will get serious attention unless it's asked for a lot, so I'd like to also politely request Hauppauge IR Blaster support, specifically for the PVR-150.

I'm not sure how to build in this support, but it's do-able as evidenced in BeyondTV and GBPVR. I downloaded the Hauppauge WinTV SDK where I'm hoping there might be some info, but I haven't dug into it yet.

Like Colinandtara, I have to stick with another solution until MP has this feature.

yep, this is a me too post...

I have been experimenting with both mediaportal and GBPVR, but took me a while to figure out my PVR150 ir blaster wasn't going to operate my satellite reciever via mediaportal.

It does works fine with GBPVR. I keep checking back to see if any progress has been made here with Mediaportal as this is a great looking portal, and good people here.

Keep those fingers crossed folks

I found a solution to use it.

with this external program http://www.disco-nt.co.uk/download/default.htm

using it in MPExTuneCmd plugin by replace dtvcontrol.exe

You can find howto in http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3986&highlight=

The plugin is now integrated to MP (dont use the zip file)

 

[Dankait]

Is the integration in MP for use of the low speed serial port on the satellite reciever to change channels as mentioned in the links above, or integration for using the IR blaster that comes with the PVR 150?

just checking...

thanks again

use MPExTuneCmd plugin originaly design for dtvcontrol.exe but usable for all extenal program
replace in the setup dtvcontrol.exe by the name of external program design for IRBlaster (with path eventualy)

you have an explanation to do that for girder

Someone submitted a plugin anonymously. It's in CVS now.
If the one who coded it reads this: TELL US WHO YOU ARE, please. :wink:

We cannot test it, so please grab a CVS version and check it out.
Get the latest one here, the plugin is included (mediaportal-cvs-07-31-2005--09-46.rar or later):

Yes, I can confirm that it works with my PVR 150 ir blaster.
Good work unknown plugin coder ;-)
