Myblaster plugin not working (1 Viewer)

[tesamu]

Yes, there are some issues with MCE Replacement plugin and current SVN, but the developer is waiting for a SVN that includes a fix. Look in the tread 'MCE Replacement Plugin' (link above).

Hallo

With the MediaPortal Version 0.2.2.0, the MyBlaster plugin was 100%, but with SVN Rev12585 and all releases after that, everything changed. SVN builds will not allow you to configure the MCE replacement driver, because it is outdated and the old MyBlaster plugin also stopped working. The Microsoft remote still controls the MediaPortal, but will not change the channels on my set top box. Will get the logs this afternoon and post them maybe it will help.

This is how I solved the problem with myblaster.dll.

Prerequisites, download and install Visual C# 2005 from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualcsharp/default.aspx

Get the myblaster sourcecode.

Then:

Open myblaster with VC2005. Convert the project to VC2005.
Change line 106 in myblaster.cs to
"using(MediaPortal.Profile.Settings xmlreader = new MediaPortal.Profile.Settings("MediaPortal.xml"))"

Add reference to UTILS.DLL with the menu Project\Add Reference.

Build the project. (Press F6 on your keyboard).

Copy the new myblaster.dll to the process-plugin folder of Mediaportal. I think it is in the BIN\RELEASE folder.

This worked for me, even though I have no programming experience.

I havent found a way to update the plugin-download area, if someone can help me with this I will provide the update.

Tazman,


Attached find myblaster.dll. I will upload the changed source later, it's on another PC.

Open MyBlaster.csproj in the Myblaster folder. The conversion is done automatically by a wizard in VC2005, you do not need to to a thingy.

My thanks go to Smirnuff and Scoop for plugin and inspiration to (hopefully) sort this problem out.

You are the man

I'm using MyBlaster and everything works just fine except changing to channel “11”. Fore some reason MyBlaster changes the channel to “1” and not “11”. I have looked thru the code and I can not find the problem. The messages in the log indicates that the MyBlaster sends 3 commands when changing to channel “11” and I guess they are “1”,”1” and “Select”.

Does anyone know the reason MyBlaster in behaving like this?
