Maybe a fix for the problem with focus in the windows?

For ex: window message, if the program doesn't have the focus, they don't accept the message.
You first need to do focus on it to later send the message again and then works.
Can you fix this? ^^

A sugestion too...
"Window Message"

Maybe a combo at the Message field?
Combo: WM_HOTKEY, WM_SETFOCUS, WM_COMMAND, etc... (MSDN can provides this list)
And the "old textbox field for advanced users or something else.

Later, maybe a combo for the the long and word (much work, i agree, later later ;P)
For ex: WM_COMMAND
Long = 0 -> Menu
Long = 1 -> Accelerator
Long = 2 -> Control

WM_COMMAND Notification ()

Anyway, think in the first ideia, a combobox for all type of messages, will help a lot.

Hi, I have a question about this update:

Support 2 or more Microsoft MCE Transceivers plugged in at the same time. With receiving and blasting supported on all. (Should be in 1.4.3)

So your current version only supports one (which has 2 blaster ports on the back, so it can control 2 STBs), but this update would allow adding additional transceivers to increase the number of blasters, so in essence i would be able to control 4 STBs?

Is this still scheduled to make into the 1.4.3 release?

The reason I ask is b/c i just started using MP and using DISH network here in the US would need 4 STBs setup to work with TV Server.

Is there any other method I can use to control 4 STBs that need IR Blasting to change channels? Maybe having 4 tuner cards with built in IR blasters? Any suggestions for tuner cards for this purpose?

Thanks

Can u write a learning IR wizard such as in Vista Media Center (or windows 7 media center)?
If not, can u give an interface/dll such that I can write such wizard (maybe inside media portal)?

Hi,

Could you add to Events (you know the Resume, Suspend etc events in Translator)?

Would it be possible to add "Enter Away Mode" and "Leave Away Mode" events? I would like to turn the TV and Amp on and off when the PC Enters/Leaves away mode.

Hello,

Another option would be to get new Infared eyes with 2 on each plug



I use them, they work nicely.

Would it be possible to integrate RS232 remote possibillitys through IRSS? I have been testing some software from a guy named Borax who build this RS232 remote testing software and it worked really well. His purpose was to use that software to then let some other guys build a plugin for mediaportal. He allready has all code, or a very good start at least...

It would be VERY cool if this could be integrated to IRSS. Its a very good way for us having RS232 inputs on our receivers and projectors etc. also, its a VERY STABLE way to have control over your devices.

Hope its possible! :)

Hum, so two of those plugged into the back of the Microsoft IR Receiver would let me control 4 devices individually? Or does that Split the signal into 2, sending the same command (which is not what i want).

Thanks

It will send the same signal of course. But what exactly is it that you're trying to control? If its 4 of the same devices then yeh that wont work, but if its different kind of devices then the other one which will receive the same signal wont react on it.

Yes, it is 4 of the same Single Tuner SetTopBoxes for Dish Network....looking for a way to control all 4 of them individually.

Thanks

Not sure if I understand you correctly - you CAN send RS232 commands out through the Serial port to Serially control a device with IRSS.

If you look in translator, you can map a button to a serial command, or a macro, or an event.

This is how I control my Amp/Receiver
