MultiShortcut plugin (1 Viewer)

Re: MultiShortcut plugin.

Hi there,

I have noticed that I am getting an error reported in the error.log:

2010-03-02 22:32:07.470396 [ERROR][MPMain(1)]: Exception ystem.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

at MediaPortal.MultiShortcut.MultiShortcut.FindID(String& name)

I have HD_starter/Multishortcut configured and it appears to be working ok (launches PDVD)

I am running latest MePo RC1 (with new core and dsshowhelper files).

Not sure if the error is anything to worry about.

Dllfix has been run ok (no errors reported)

I have attached my xml file.

Thanks,

J.

I just tried MultiShortcut plugin and it works fine here, without changes nor recompile.

<profile>
  <section name="HD Starter">
    <entry name="pluginid">4411</entry>
  </section>
  <section name="HD_Starter">
    <entry name="pluginid">8581</entry>
    <entry name="handlempwindow">1</entry>
    <entry name="caption">Blu-ray</entry>
    <entry name="buttonimage">
    </entry>

2 times HD_Starter section name with different pluginid is a bit weird.

Did you made a new proper MultiShortcut install ?
Did you remove your older MultiShortcut.xml files and didn't you copy your older MultiShortcut dlls ?
With, maybe, a forgetting new dll fix applying ?
Then, can you try with a fresh one, please ?
Regards.

Re: MultiShortcut plugin.

Hey guys... What's the best version for 1.1RC1... I had this working under my Vista 32bit system but can't seem to generate the .dll under Windows 7 64bit... Have ran as administrator and have compiled in seperate directory, but still no luck.. Just get the .dll generator crashing.. Any idea's?

Re : MultiShortcut plugin.

May be you could see how a dll is created, on 64 bits OS, with an hex editor ?
And then, have a look in \MultiShortcut\DLLFix\Program.cs to see why it doesn't work ?
If you find something (I have no 64 bits OS), I will be pleased to modify MultiShortcut plugin for 64 bits compliance.

Re: MultiShortcut plugin.

Just wanted to say I resolved my issue's with v1.7... Just re-installed, must of had a stray file somewhere... Something worth noting though is that the MePo load tool conflicts with the "Start/Stop Media Playback" functionality of the plug-in...

why not v 1.9 ?

Re: MultiShortcut plugin.

I'm using this plugin and it works great... however, I am using an MCE remote, and certain functions MP is still intercepting commands even though it is in the background.

How do I make it so that MP will not accept remote commands while another program has focus in the foreground?

Having MultiShortcut 'hide MP' or even restarting it should do the trick.

Personally I use IRSS to handle my remote and it has the option to only control MP (and anything else you choose) only if it has focus.

I've tried IRSS, and even with that option set, it is still intercepting commands in the background and processing them once you return to mediaportal.

Re : MultiShortcut plugin.

Did you try with MultiShortcut minimize MP window before launching your application ?

Re: MultiShortcut plugin.

Excellent plugin.

I'm having two issues, The first is I cannot get the plugin to show up on the Home screen. It does work ok in the plugin screen, but when I set it for home, it just disappears from both screens.

The second, when I use the plugin to start Hulu (the only thing I'm using it for) it works great. But after I exit hulu, media portal takes up my screen but my windows taskbar is the active window. So I can't select anything in media portal with my remote...

Any ideas?
