Ok .. some further info, it appears that its really difficult to run an exe in windows 7 with c# .. running a commnad like "calc"will work .. but trying to run "c:\winlirc\transmit.exe" seems to be a lot harder, I am trying at the moment, but it may be an issue with createprocess in Windows 7 may require a little tweaking.

Test Build 3064 bug in MCE Transceiver

Blasting functions appear to be broken in Test Build 3064 with MCE Transceiver under Vista 32. (No output, no lights flash.) These functions worked in Test Build 2963 (haven't tried the intervening builds). Logs show nothing irregular (in particular, 'Blast successful' is reported).

I noticed one bug (simple typo) at line 970 in DriverVista.cs source:

      if (_isSystem64Bit)
      {
        transmitChunk = new TransmitChunk64();
      }
      else
      {
        transmitChunk = new TransmitChunk64();
      }

Presumably the second TransmitChunk64() should be TransmitChunk32().

Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem.

The changelog mentions some fixes for the MCE Transeiver in both x86 and x64 systems. Could someone provide more details? I would be happy to explore further, but need more info.

Thanks to the people who are keeping this excellent project alive.

Ok .. finally a hackaround and problem identified

The transmit.exe will not run in c#.net if the call to CreateProcess is inside a static method .. dont ask me why .. but If I copy the same code into a brand new application .. and change the methods to public / private instead of static .. no problem, they work.

So instead of hacking around the plugin code, I just used a socket listener I had lying around, and adapted the code to fire the transmit.exe on specific port data recieved. and its working like a bomb after changing 1 or 2 lines in the plugin.

Unfortunately my c# skills are mild at best, so an entire trawl and fix into the plugin was perhaps a bit above my head, but due to the responses on this thread, I might be the only person using winlirc to blast.

I did try implementing the windows message system to get winlirc to change channels but to no avail, and although the debug showed winlirc receiving info via the socket, it was not changing channels.

Perhaps someone with a larger skillset can adapt the plugin correctly.. if I do get some time, and get to the bottom of the root cause, I will implement a fix and request a mod to upload the source.

Test Build 3064 bug in MCE Transceiver

With a couple more (very small) code mods, blaster functions are restored, at least for x86. (I am not in a position to test on x64.) Code is attached. Hope this helps towards the next build.

I've got an Antec MMS Elite in my system and I can't make it work with IRSS. I thought it was like any other Imon display (VFD) but it doesn't get recognized.
Under Imon Manager 7.63.0831 i've found a firmware i thnik nobody has reported before (0x440201 Elite).
Wold it be possible to make it compatible??
Thanks.
