[QUOTE="valdi, post: 886276, member: 116882"] Hi, Very nice GJC, 18 point font was just right. Thanx again. Can't say anything bad about this except when you issue the EventGhostConfig.xml add in the MediaPortal plugin, but don't add the tree of actions. That way I can just cut and paste my customized MediaPortal Action Tree easy peasy. One small thing: Is it possible to set the font size of dialog message box inside of TV-Server config? One big thing: Now....feel free to tell me to jump in the lake, BUT....I do understand your receiving variables from TV-Server in order to determine where to position the antenna; would it be possible to send info back to MediaPortal [U]NOT[/U] TV-Server? Then, MediaPortal is displaying the messages rather than Windows, that way, maybe you could get the message information from Python Script into a "skin-like?" dialog box? Making this little gem a seamless integration/experience? I know, I know, what is this guy's problem. In general, the more "behind the scenes" or subdued visually something is, the more it becomes part of the background and not noticed. Your little plugin though, should not be on the sidelines. I show your plugin to anyone who will look. I mean, come on, I grew up on TRS-80 being able to have X-10 turn on and off a light. That was very cool back then. Now I got a full DVR, File Server and TV all in one. Oh and it's the office computer too. All that and not paying the Cable Company *hit. Displaying a Windows system generated message box is fine, but it doesn't match what's going on behind it on a HTPC screen. If that information was displayed in a MediaPortal visual cue, then that would be noticed, commented upon and look really cool and professional. (Does your Rogers Box do that, I ask?) Anyways, that probably would entail writing another plugin interfacing with any number of skins. Too much too ask I'm sure. Not sure it's even possible, but hey, just throwing an idea into the air. Thanx much for all your hard work. It is much appreciated!! Let me know if you need anything I can provide, more than happy to return the favor. Valdi [/QUOTE]
