Good news, everyone!

The patch to fix scheduled recordings has been applied.

Message:
Committed SF patch 1621185 by trevorn. This patch has been requested in several places in the forums.

So download an SVN newer than 6:39 PM on Sunday the 28th of January and you should be set.

Let me know straight away if you have any trouble. I'm quite sure you'll be alright though.

Hi Aaron,

Seems like the latest SVN doesn't work with the test version of MCE Replacement Plugin (MCE Replacement Plugin - 24-Jan-2007.zip).
Is this a known issue or just I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks.

 

[and-81]

I'll update the test version shortly to see if that solves the problem. If not then tell me if there's anything showing up in your log files. I should have a new test version up in a couple of hours.

Cheers,

Hi Aaron,

I still have a problem with SVN and MCE replacement driver (latest test version)
Tried it with several SVN versions: 01-29-2007--01-02-Rev12781, 01-28-2007--20-12-Rev12781 and 01-28-2007--01-04-Rev12771
No succes till now.

Here is my configuration.log:

Thanks.

Are you selecting the SVN version in the plugin installer? Because by default it will install the 0.2.2.0 (without SVN) version.

 

[kl0012]

Oh, my bad. Of cause I didn't chose SVN install.
Now works like a charm.
Sorry for wasting your time and great thanks for the help Aaron.

 

[and-81]

That's ok, I'm glad it's working for you now.

Cheers,

First of all, thank you for this nice plugin. Everything works well with the MCE remote. I was even able to control other devices

However, I would like to suggest something.

I also have an infrared keyboard. The pluging can learn different remotes codes and send them as event to MP (as far I've understood it). But would it be possible to sent keyboard event so that for exemple when the receiver receives the code of the 'A' key it would send a Key pressed event to MP...

Just a suggestion...

Let me know your thaughts about it...

 

[and-81]

This has been requested before and I've considered it quite a bit. And I've just started implementing some of the code that would support this feature.

I will make a small program in the coming week that IR keyboard users could run to collect all the information I need to start supporting this. I'll make a post about it when I have something.

I can't say how well this feature will work and how many IR keyboards it will support, but we'll just have to wait and so.

Cheers,

Events

Hi Aaron,

Just wondering if you have found anything wrong with the events or have a patch yet.
