[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1050603, member: 82144"] Call it nuts if you like. I don't feel obliged to defend how things are. Suffice to say that plugin developer(s) (ie. not the team) choose to distribute their plugins in the way that is convenient for their users. I guess the SD plugin developers think most people that use their plugin use MediaPortal with TV Server. If you want to use XBMC instead of MP then you might have to accept that you're in a minority and put up with a few things like this. At one time TV support was built into MediaPortal. The fields you're referring to are probably a legacy from that time. All software has legacy code. I think I've told you repeatedly that MediaPortal by itself can't meet your blasting requirements, so please lets forget about this and move on (if you want to continue). This bothers me. It is not reasonable to treat the info in the wiki that way. In particular, just because something was written in 2010 doesn't make it irrelevant or wrong! I can only repeat [again] that configuring MP/TV Server to do something it wasn't designed to do will not be nice and simple. No. You're right, I would have. Okay, even though this has nothing to do with TV Server, I do know that the IRSS TVE 3 blaster plugin supports this. It wouldn't be couched in those terms though because nobody blasts more than one STB per "tuner". You simply configure your STB per tuner: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/@api/deki/files/296/=15_tv3blaster_setupSTB.png[/url] (...from the [B]not [/B]irrelevant guide here: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/IRSS_%28IR_Server_Suite%29/Set_Top_Box_Blasting#Configuring_TV3_Blaster_Plugin[/url] ) Refer to the sticky thread in the IRSS section of the forum: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/irss-is-in-maintenance-mode.67344/[/url] In short, probably nobody right now. I'm sure we've covered this before. Quite frankly, I'm not. IRSS is only a relatively small part of the puzzle. The sorts of questions you're asking suggest that if you've done anything at all, you're struggling with more than just IRSS. That is the main reason I'm still here. If you want to move forward I'd suggest explaining exactly what you have working, with log files and screenshots of configuration. Then I can propose a concrete next step. Even better would be to setup a TeamViewer connection and I can jump on and take a look. That would save us both a ton of time. Of course there is source code: [url]https://github.com/MediaPortal/IR-Server-Suite[/url] ...but I honestly don't recommend looking at it as I can't see how it is going to be helpful to you.

AIUI all that has to be done in IRSS itself is configure the service: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/3_IRSS_%28IR_Server_Suite%29/Input_Service[/url] In short, select and configure the USB-UIRT as your transmit device. Can you be more specific about what exactly you are struggling with? When I say specific, I mean please provide screenshots with [brief] annotations. mm [/QUOTE]
