IR Server Suite - Feature Requests and Roadmap (1 Viewer)

[PussyWagon]

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!

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

Heh... yea, you are right! Didn't know that it was possible already.
I had some experiments with this today, but unfortunately i didnt manage to get it work with IRSS and translator.

It works when using RS232-Monitor, when sending this: 50 43 53 45 4E 44 02 04 80 70 C0 3F 40 4F
in HEX and Lenght: 1bytes.
But in translator im not really sure if im doing it right. When adding a serial command it looks like this: \x0Fh 50 43 53 45 4E 44 02 04 80 70 C0 3F 40 4F but i have tried many different combinations. Could you give me an example on how yours is looking?

Or is there some configurations (except the configuration window in translator when adding a command) i have to do to get it work with RS232?

Probably best in a new thread:

Hello,

I make actualy my first steps with IRSS and while configuring Translator (espacialy OSD) I missed a function to sort the programs.

I added programs and would like to see them at the beginning of the List.

Actualy it's only possible to change it within the xml file.

Can you put the build number on the About form?

Just 2 things missing for me...

I haven't installed IRSS yet - just checking out the capabilities to see if it would be suitable to my situation.

Looks promising so far, but there's 2 things I need it to do that I don't seem to find mentioned:

1) A web/http server input device - so my wireless PocketPC remotes running FlashPlayer/FlashLite can send instructions in the form of http post/get requests.

2) Support for multiple MS Blasters/Remotes. These things are dirt cheap, so I'd like to use them for the whole house. I have a USB network using USB repeaters, in parallel with Ethernet, so I'd like to hook up about 5 of them to the one IRSS. (I only assume it can't do this because it's mentioned as a feature request in your first post).

My Philips Pronto remote is just broken....So I would like ( at least ! ) turn on and off TV and Amplifier with MP.

I tried to use IRSS to help me to solve this poor WAF issue !

Blaster is MCE with 2 ports.

Sometimes TV ( Pioneer ) turns on, but Amplififier ( Philips RC5 codes ).... never.

Learning is working, I also try to directly reuse Pronto codes, same issue !

I suppose the problem comes from too few code repeat. I can see LED flashing, but probably too shortly.
On the Pronto remote, you have to set a minimum duration for each code...and it works really fine.

Could it be possible to add this feature as a parameter of each code ? ( It seems it's not possible yet..or I'm a bit blind !)

Would it be possible to add a front end GUI on secondry display for touchscreen users

Hey everyone,

Thank you all for your feedback and feature requests.

I don't get a lot of time to work on the project these days, but I will dig in and try to get some of these ideas added to the application.

Some of the easier ones should be in soon.

Thanks,

Hi!

I would like to see a blast all unknown ir input to both ports for mce blaster/tranciver... or a general blast all plugin... it would be great to have all my reciver ir blasted to the reciver in the wardrobe without programming all the buttons

great plugin i real love it
keep up the god work...

Would be great if macros executed by events could have the option to run in the background so it doesn't stop mediaportal from showing picture.
Atm I'm using IRSS to control my lights so that they dim down when video is played, the dimming procedure is done with macro which does a blast and then waits 2500ms and then blasts again, during this time video is not shown.

In an earlier version I manually coded this in, but obviously doesn't work on newer versions of IRSS.
