IMON support (1 Viewer)

Hi there,

I followed your advice belcom on the double click issue (disabling enable input and handle input locally) and all worked well with the last 2xxx version.

The latest 3015 seems to behave different though. Using the debug client I saw that more buttons are mapped now (which is great) but they only seem to work having said options enabled...then the double click problem returns though...

Another thing that I am having with both versions: if I press the up arrow during a movie using the keyboard it jumps about 10 minutes. If I use the remote then the movie jumps AND the top control bar is displayed (the one with start/stop/etc)...why is that?

Any advice on what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks

Markus

You only disabled it for keyboard and mouse, not for remote, right? Remote control input has to be enabled of course!

Seems like you have HID device like me, here this doesn't happen. Which buttons do you mean??

Will have a look on that!

A first quick test seems to do fine GREAT!

Only one thing: Event mapper configuration was deleted after installation, but was easy to restore from backup.

After testing it for a longer time, I will give feedback on this!

Hopefully it will run stabel, my wife is getting a little bit impatient...

Greetings

Bad News : (After Resume) No Reaction within MP

Closing Server didn't work, I had to kill it via TaskManager.

After Restarting (executing IR Server.exe), there was no symbol in Taskbar.

It seems that it's still not stable...

Hope you can see anything within the logs!

Hi!

According to your logs your receiver switched to iMON PAD mode between entering standby and resume. While in standby no software could tell it to do so!
So it seems that your receiver looses power while system is in standby and so resets to its default iMON PAD mode once power is back.
I will see if we can reinit the device when resuming, but "normal" way would be to have power supply and motherboard which draws standby power to USB devices.
Please check if (after entering standby) you can start your machine with MCE and/or iMON PAD.
If both don't work, then theres something wrong with standby handling of your machine... please provide feedback!

Forthermore, be aware that there are two programs working together: "IR Server Configuration", which displays the status icon in notification area and provide the configuration dialog, and "IR Server", which is the one (either running as service or application) which handles remote input.
It seems that you only close "IR Server Configuration" through its context (right click) menu, and then wonder why you have to kill "IR Server" in Taskmanager.
Don't close "IR Server Configuration" but open its Window (context menu, Setup), click on the stop button, then click on the appearing play button restarts "IR Server".

Yes, that's definetly true: I use a IR-RF Konverter to control a power socket for the whole system (PC, TV, amp,...) and power was off!

The imon software has a problem with this, too. I was in contact with the support and they told me that the "default" mode is ImonPad, after taking the system from power.

I will see if we can reinit the device when resuming, but "normal" way would be to have power supply and motherboard which draws standby power to USB devices.

After taking from power, only Pad Power is working! With the harmony it was easy to solve this: A Macro with both power comands (MCE & Pad).

But I'm also pretty sure, that I lost the remot while watching TV yesterday, too. If it happen's again, I will send the logs!

...Don't close "IR Server Configuration" but open its Window (context menu, Setup), click on the stop button, then click on the appearing play button restarts "IR Server".

Thanks, I did as you expected and will do the right way in the future!

came from .2975 and my remote was working almost perfectly and now with 3018 it ain't working anymore.

2009-07-19 14:03:14.633522 - Error:	System.ApplicationException: No iMon devices found!

finaly I have some logs after stopping to acctept commands while watching TV.

The last thing I did was to push OK an d react to it but with the wrong function: Instead of opening TV Program Info was shown. After this no reaction to any button!

Also it seems that the IR Server Process needs about 100% CPU Power and can't be stoped via Setup. I have to kill it via Task Manager.

Hello,

this is my first Post and I'm new in the MediaPortal environment.

I started with xbmc on my XBox a few years ago. Now I changed to a HTPC because of DVB.

-Antec Remote Max
-TT S2 3200
-IMON LCD
-RM200

I have a problem to find a definitive guide to get my IMON LCD and remote (RM200 or Harmony 555) working with MP 1.0.2

2. Question:
Should I use stable or nightly builds.
