new MyBlaster & Foxtel STB (Pace-420)- RC0.3 (1 Viewer)

[Johnny Utah]

Has anyone out there managed to get the new (as of RC 0.3) MyBlaster plugin working with their Foxtel Digital Set Top Box? I discovered that after installing RC0.3 my set top box was no longer receiving commands from MediaPortal. A quick search through the forums confirmed that there was a new version of the MyBlaster plugin out, which I have downloaded.

However, I note that whereas the old plugin was called MyBlaster.exe, and had a corresponding MyBlaster.dat file, the new one is called Blaster.exe, and has a Blaster.log file.

There was a lot of difficulty initially getting the MyBlaster plugin to communicate with the Foxtel Set top box (The Pace 420). I have subsequently discovered that these problems seem to be repeating themselves in the case of the new MyBlaster plugin. Even after going through & learning the various commands, none of them have any effect on the foxtel set top box when the test function is used.

If there's anyone out there that has the new MyBlaster plugin working with their foxtel set top box, could they forward their blaster.log file to me please? Alternatively, is there any way for one of the current decelopers of the MyBlaster plugin to convert the old MyBlaster.dat file into the format required in the new blaster.log file.

Thanks in advance for your support.

May be wrong....

Hey,

I had a torrid time setting up the blaster for rc2 as well, but it works in rc3 ok. I had to make some changes as specified in this post.

Thanks Ben - I'll give your suggestion a go & see how it works out.

I find it interesting that you had troubles getting it to work in RC0.2 - I had no problems at all, I simply copied the old MyBlaster for 0.1.3 in & it worked just fine.

Thanks again for your assistance - much appreciated.
