My Power Control Plug-in (1 Viewer)

[mcraenz]

Hi, Pommedan, are you running the latest version of MyPowerControl? I'll take a look and try to re-produce. Should be easy enough to fix

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Mcraenz

great work on the plugin, ive got a new project to work on now

Cheers

Yep that's the latest, I'll see if I can re-produce the bug and fix it

Pommedan: What skin are you using? I can't re-produce this on blue3. Wondering if it might be a skin issue?

Mcraenz, it could possibly be a skin issue. Im using Black & White 1080 with the following modified powercontrol.xml

<window>
<id>2201</id>
<defaultcontrol>104</defaultcontrol>
<allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>

<controls>
<import>common.window.homecontrol.xml</import>
<import>common.panel01.xml</import>

<control>
<description>BackGround</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>101</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<texture>-</texture>
</control>

<control>
<description>Plug-in Image</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>102</id>
<posX>1100</posX>
<posY>240</posY>
<texture>Homeauto.png</texture>
</control>

<control>
<description>Power Control Device</description>
<type>listcontrol</type>
<id>104</id>
<posY>260</posY>
<posX>50</posX>
<textXOff>80</textXOff>
<textYOff>10</textYOff>
<textXOff2>20</textXOff2>
<textYOff2>10</textYOff2>
<textXOff3>250</textXOff3>
<textYOff3>50</textYOff3>
<IconXOff>50</IconXOff>
<itemWidth>120</itemWidth>
<itemHeight>95</itemHeight>
<textureFocus>recording_background_focus.png</textureFocus>
<textureNoFocus>recording_background_nofocus.png</textureNoFocus>
<spaceBetweenItems>10</spaceBetweenItems>
<textureHeight>100</textureHeight>
<keepaspectratio>no</keepaspectratio>
<font2>font10</font2>
<font3>font12</font3>
</control>
</controls>

</window>

common.window.homecontrol.xml points to the corresponding background image folder. - I cant see anything majorly wrong with it, but ill reset back to the blue3 skin and see if the problem re-occurs there and let you know.

Thanks

Hey Pommedan, done any more with this? If there is an issue I'd like to get it resolved.

Mcraenz: sorry ive had the parents over from the UK so not had much time to mess around with it. Ive just booted up the plugin in Blue3 and Blue3wide and noticed the same problem occuring. Video title renaming to first input control in the plugin and cover art changing to default image. I also noticed that if an input was active whilst entering my videos the video cover (instead of changing to default image) was changing to a enlarged logo_rec.png from the mediadirectory.

If i leave a pin active after exiting mediaportal and reboot MP the same issue occurs in videos (and prob music although i didnt test this) without initialising the plugin.

Im using a simple circuit from parallel to LED's for testing purposes and tihis works fine in other basic software for control, so im assuming its not a hardware issue

im kinda at a loss on this one, the .xml file seems absolutely fine.

cheers

Cool, thanks, I'll have another crack at re-producing it.

How do you know what port to set it to like how you have 888?

 

[Pommedan]

How do you know what port to set it to like how you have 888?

LPT1 Port i/o is 0378 hexadecimal this is converted to 888 decimal

If your using LPT2 i/o is 0278 or 632 decimal

You can check port i/o in device manager - right click on ports - properties - resources. Find what port your using and the hex value and run it through a convertor like hexadecimal conversion, convert decimal to hexadecimal to find your decimal value

Cheers
