[QUOTE="chesh, post: 376530, member: 88249"] First off, thank you and-81 for a great plugin! Unfortunately I'm having a little problem with it. I'm trying to use it to control my STB via firewire. I've installed Tim Moore's MCE 2005 STB Controller suite and the drivers needed for my cable box. When I use channel.exe -f 2 103 (force the channel change on the box to channel 103) via the command line, it works just fine. I've got a similar command as a run command setup for each of the keys in the TV3 Blaster Plugin for IR Suite as follows: Program: C:\Program Files\Timmmoore\MCE 2005 STB Controller\channel.exe Start in folder: C:\Program Files\Timmmoore\MCE 2005 STB Controller Parameters: -f 2 %2 Window Style: Hidden It's odd though, everytime it types a channel it double types it....from the logfile: 2009-02-09 19:05:35.953125 [ProcessExternalChannel]: TV3BlasterPlugin: ProcessExternalCommand("Run: C:\Program Files\Timmmoore\MCE 2005 STB Controller\channel.exe|C:\Program Files\Timmmoore\MCE 2005 STB Controller|-f 2 %2|Hidden|True|False|False|False", 1, 103) 2009-02-09 19:05:36.203125 [ProcessExternalChannel]: TV3BlasterPlugin: ProcessExternalCommand("Run: C:\Program Files\Timmmoore\MCE 2005 STB Controller\channel.exe|C:\Program Files\Timmmoore\MCE 2005 STB Controller|-f 2 %2|Hidden|True|False|False|False", 0, 103) 2009-02-09 19:05:36.468750 [ProcessExternalChannel]: TV3BlasterPlugin: ProcessExternalCommand("Run: C:\Program Files\Timmmoore\MCE 2005 STB Controller\channel.exe|C:\Program Files\Timmmoore\MCE 2005 STB Controller\|-f 2 %2|Hidden|True|False|False|False", 3, 103) And, for the life of me I can't find the setting that prevents it from doing that. I've got the Channel Digits set to 3. I can literally watch my STB freak out as soon as this plugin starts to try to send commands. It's like it's always typing in one extra # when trying to tune it.
