Hi there
Trying to set up IR blasting to a set-top box using serverblaster. Have used blaster.exe to learn and test the codes - everything works well at this stage and the channels are changed when I test (does it save settings automatically?). However when I try to change channels in MP Server nothing gets sent to the blaster, and I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error in tv.log. I know use of IRSS is recommended, but that doesn't sem to learn the codes correctly for me. Relevant part of log is given below. Any help much appreciated!

Got it sorted - the problem is that the location where the serverblaster.dat file needs to be saved has changed. I needed to manually copy the file that blaster.exe created (which was in C:\Program Files\Team Mediaportal\Mediaportal TV Server) into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\Mediaportal TV Server. All working perfectly!
