[QUOTE="mcraenz, post: 223443, member: 54136"] I've completely re-written PowerControl it now allows you to control devices from any PC running MediaPortal. A system service is used at any MediaPortal PC that has devices physically connected to the parallel port. MyPowerControl turns pins on and off on your parallel port (or on a parallel print server); combined with a simple circuit this can be used to turn AC devices on or off. I use it turn on my subwoofer since it can't be operated by remote. For this plug-in to work with an onboard parallel port you will need inpout32.dll in your windows system32 directory. For use with a print server inpout32.dll is [B]not[/B] required. Plenty of info can be found on how to build this very simple circuit. I don't distribute inpout32.dll with the plug-in install in case of licence issues, it can easily be downloaded. For more info on using a network printer server see my [URL="http://blog.rhysgoodwin.com/2008/06/06/print-server-power-control-hack/"]blog article. [/URL] My Power Control allows you to control devices from any PC running MediaPortal. A systemservice is used at any MediaPortal PC that has devices physically connected to the parallel port/printserver See the [I]help/about[/I] section in the plug-in configuration. I used a .msi installer since .MPI doesn't support some features required for [un]installing services. Download the latest version from the plug-ins/utilities download section. [url=https://www.team-mediaportal.com/files/Download/Plugins/Utilities/MyPowerControl/]MEDIAPORTAL - free media center - My Power Control[/url] Source in the plug-ins SVN [url]http://mp-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mp-plugins/trunk/plugins/MyPowerControl/[/url] Version History =================== 0.2.5.0 --------- - Added support for parallel network print serves - Added new optional system tray tool [I]"PowerTray"[/I] which to allows management of devices from PCs on the network that don't run MediaPortal. (This is a separate .msi installer file and is optional and should not be installed on the same computer as MyPowerControl) -Numerous bug fixes and polish-ups --------- 0.2.0.1 --------- Complete re-write of PowerControl. Now supports remotely controlling any device connected to a MediaPortal PC [I]from[/I] any MediaPortal PC. --------- Cheers, mcraenz [/QUOTE]
