IR Server Suite - Version 1.4.2 Test Build 3158/3281 (4 Viewers)

I'll keep trying to get Tray Launcher to do the trick, and I'll see what the dev team says about adding a focus steal option to MediaPortal.

Cheers,

I replaced the iMONReceiver.dll , .xml, .pdb files in the "C:\Program Files\IR Server Suite\IR Server Plugins" directory, double-checked the iMON settings in the Input Service Configuration tool, and restarted the Input Service.

I noticed that the Input Service is no longer hogging half of the CPU, but the DebugClient testing is barely responding to the remote anymore.

Also, MediaPortal still is not responding to remote button presses.

Thanks

My last post was using the Abstract Remote in the plugin configuration. I did another test with MCE remote and saw the following interesting lines in the MP log:

Translator

Bug / Translator

if "hide the tray icon" is enabled and you start translator.exe the second time the the icon reappears.
but if you hover with your mouse over the icon it dissapears. it should stay so you can enter the setup.


Question / Translator

how do you use/send multimedia-key-commands?
(WM_APPCOMMAND, MSDN)


Feature Requests / Translator

1. commands to control the windows mixer (volume, mute)
2. larger or customizable fontsize on the "Translator OSD" (currently impossible to read if not in front of the pc)
3. completely customizable OSD or/and OSD commands (for example volume control display)



Thanks!

Hey Aaron,

My happiness only lasted a few days

Once again, the second STB is not changing channels. I've attached the logs. I'm a bit confused as to why it does it. It will act OK for a while, then at some point it loses it's train of thought and it's all screwy from then on out. I'm not sure what triggers it. I decided to set a few recordings that I knew would fail so you can see the logs.

I set MP to record the following shows to test:
Color Correction (30min show) @ 3am on channel 59
American Idol Rewind (1 hour show) @ 3am on channel 3
It's me or the dog (1 hour show) @ 4am on channel 78
George Lopez (30 min show) @ 4am on channel 3

The only one that recorded properly was "It's me or the Dog". "Color Correction" and "George Lopez" the STB never changed channels. "American Idol Rewind" changed to channel 359 for some strange reason.

I'm not sure if its the IR suite, or maybe something within MP. I might even be inclined to believe it is because the tuners are the same model, but Id like to know for sure before I go out and buy another one. I've tried off and on for almost a year to get these dual tuners going, I'm about to give up hope of ever getting it straight.

Hope you can help!

Hi Aaron,

whats the translator code for the DECIMAL key on the numberpad? thats not the OEMPERIOD key on the main keyboard

Thanks

Terriff:

I've attached a new version that should be more responsive and I've tried to fix the keycode problem.

It looks like it's working, it's just not handling the button presses properly ... I'll work on the abstract remote map and some normal remote maps ... It could just be a problem with the keycode numbers... I'll keep working on it, but if you'd like to take a look at the code and see for yourself you might be able to get more done seeing as you actually have one of these things

xxxxxxxxxx:

Thanks for the feedback, I've fixed the Translator bug and attached a new Translator EXE. These NotifyIcon objects are a real pain in the butt... Turns out I was changing it's visibility from a separate thread and this was causing the problem.

You should be able to send App Commands with the Send Windows Message command in Translator, but I've heard of people having trouble with this, so I will make a new command just for sending App Commands.

I'll make sure all your feature requests are addressed after 1.4.2 stable is released.

Thanks,

elconejito:

I'll go over the logs with a fine-tooth comb and see what I can find ... in the meantime, try increasing the priority of Input Service (you can set it's priority in Input Server Configuration -> Advanced).

I'll get back to you with my findings ... it could be MediaPortal being funny, or it could be a problem with the IR Server Suite ... I'll find out and get back to you as soon as I can.

idkpmiller:

I think it's VK_DECIMAL, you can use either {VK_DECIMAL} or {DECIMAL} I believe...

Any key that's not explicitly provided for should be available by using {VK_????} where ???? is the name.

RSykes:

I've attached a new tray launcher with a fancy new focus forcing feature, could you try it out for me?

Cheers,

New Tray Launcher

Hi Aaron,

I tried the new Tray Launcher and again still will not get full focus.

I assume I only need to copy the contents to the c:\program files\IR Server Suite\Tray Launcher\ folder and that should do it?

Thanks

 

[and-81]

yeah, that should do it, but it works on my copy ... strange ... did you give it plenty of time to get going?

I'll make another copy with more logging and see what I can find...

Thanks,

Tray Launcher Focus

Aaron I have attached a screen image of what is happening, the Vista start button is still active, I can use the remote to move around, but as I have a plasma screen can't leave the Vista Start button on.

With MPFocus no start button shown.
