[QUOTE="hurley, post: 1162919, member: 151395"] Hi [USER=96567]@Micropolis[/USER], RE Thread: [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/visual-indicator-when-recording.132598/#post-1162763']Visual indicator when recording[/URL] I just replied to [USER=154603]@tom_ktom[/USER] about using serial port pins to drive recording indicator LED's and it struck me as a great idea for a plugin. My second thought was that it would be a perfect addition to your HTPCInfo plugin since you already have the infrastructure in place to monitor recording state. Rather than writing a separate plugin. How are you placed for free time..? If you're itching to write some more code, may I put that forward as a feature request. In terms of features it would ideally have: [LIST] [*]Configuration page with a mapping table to map tuners/cards to serial ports and pins (DTR, RTS, BreakState). [*]Option to have user selected port/pin used to indicate any cards recording. (Main rec indicator) [/LIST] Other lower priority ideas: [LIST] [*]Maybe have an option to flash the LED's if drive space is low or system temps high etc.. [*]Timeshifting/Grabbing indicator. [*]Perhaps interface with Arduino. [/LIST] Open that up to other user's ideas too... On the code front: [URL='https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport%28v=vs.110%29.aspx']System.IO.Ports.SerialPort[/URL] has all the pin switching guff needed. I've taken for granted having recording indicator LED's on my HTPC for many years, largely thanks to you sharing your source code. So big thank you for your work and sharing! Perhaps others would appreciate a simple way to get lights on their TV box. :) regards, hurley ----- Edit: This idea may already be taken on by [USER=140174]@Stéphane Lenclud[/USER]. ref: [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tv-engine-3-plugins.129692/']TV Engine 3 Plugins[/URL] [/QUOTE]
