MQTT Plugin (1 Viewer)

[ajs]

That is indeed the solution

Thanks, I'll try ...

Add MQTT Commands ...

Very interessting - I have it installed and MP is sending messages (can see it with MQTT explorer).

I tried sending to MP - e.g. /Mediaportal/mypc/Command/message "30" for just cursor up, but nothing is coming to MP.
Should it work, if yes - what I am doing wrong?

Should it work

Must...

what I am doing wrong?

Is there anything in the log file?

 

[ajs]

Command/message

This is for displaying messages, and the plugin expects json there, an example in the first post.
To emulate clicks, a topic is used - button.
Like:
*** Press button:
Topic: Mediaportal/PC-NAME/Command/button
Value: 34

Thanks for your confirmation that it should work ;-)

I am using Windows MQTT explorer for testing purpose - and it seems that its sending something??
Where can it see it arrives and beeing

Do I have to configure the input mapping with something, a key to a number or whatever. I have disabled the HID plugin in MP as I am using eventghost with IR transmitter.

Another thing now: I have upgraded to MP 1.31 and with this version when MQTT plugin enabled - it crashes when watching live TV. I have checked it - live TV works when plugin is disabled, when enabled - MP live TV crashes MP...

I was so happy that I found this plugin when using MP and homeassistant (as eventghost with MQTT plugins is not anymore online/can't find to download)...

You can turn on the debug mode in the plugin, I don't remember if it's in the GUI configurator, but it's definitely in the configuration file.

The standard mapping is used, the Media Portal is not at hand now, but in my opinion there are settings for it in the MQTT plugin.

Any Logs?

Well, I hope we find what the problem is and solve them, I use the plugin every day, and so far I have not found any problems.

Topic: Mediaportal/PC-NAME/Command/button Payload (Value): 34 not Value: 34 only Key Number code

Topic: Mediaportal/PC-NAME/Command/button Payload (Value): 34 not Value: 34 only Key Number code

Thanks - I have tried both ways.... ;-)

..and here comes the log - it is starting when I press the enable live TV button in MP.
Then it writes constantly error messages - see below - until I terminate the task (MP is freezed). Without MQTT plugin live TV works as expected.
(the previous hartbeat error is also there when MQTT is disabled, it doesn't impact the program execution)
