Re: iPIMP Wish List by Skyjunky

Hi cheesy ,
If it is easy enough and possible to do could you add an option in the power options to restart mediaportal not restart the whole pc as every now and then mediaportal freezes and would be great if I could select restart Mp .

This is not possible, the power options are run by the plugin which runs in the Mediaportal process, if the process is frozen then so is the plugin. Similarly if the Mediaportal process is not running then the plugin isn't running and the iPiMP web app cannot connect, this is why there is no 'Start MediaPortal' option. I did try to get the iPiMP web app to start the MediaPortal process on a client but ran into issues with context and security so it never progressed.
:sorry:

Re: iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - 4.1.0

Hi Cheezey,
First off, you and the other supporting you have all done a really impressive job with iPiMP. Love your work.
Not long after installing it I realised it's potential for all kinds of things, not the last of which being the ability to control other home theatre devices through iPiMP. What I had planned on doing was inserting another page that loosely resembled your mediaportal remote control, but was focused on providing an interface to key home theatre receiver functions; especially on/off, volume and input source. I had intended to use embedded calls to MceIRPlay.exe to actually transmit the IR codes though a blaster to the receiver. However when I started to dig and realised that iPiMP was done in ASP.NET with which I'm completely unfamiliar, I started climbing a rather steep learning curve and quickly got head spins. Even when it did start to make sense I still, for example can't find the aspx.vb files to be able to edit them. I'm now assuming that it's all done through the dlls? (despite the code-behind tags pointing to aspx.vb files).
Anyway, can you please shed some light on what the best way to go from here would be? HTML, XML, VB, Ada, C++, etc I don't have a problem with, but ASP.NET is just doing my head in.
Many thanks,
Matt.

rhartinger - No idea about the iPad. I suspect it will be the same as the iPhone though so we still need a windows segmenter to be able to use HTTP live streaming.

herman72 - Have you looked at the source code on the Google code site? The aspx.vb files are not deployed with the application as the code is compiled into a DLL, but they're all available on the link above :) Have a browse through that.

Re: iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - 4.1.0

Thanks Cheezey!

That's pretty what I suspected. I'll give it a go.
Any bear traps in the build process I need to know about?

Don't think so, but just post if you come across something.

Re: iPhone interface for MediaPortal (iPiMP) - 4.1.0

Hi Cheezey,
Having trouble checking the source out. Command "svn checkout http://ipimp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ipimp-read-only" fails with "svn: Repository moved temporarily to...". Have tried using the new URL but am having difficulty getting the path right. Could you let me know what I should be using now please?
Ta.
