[QUOTE="damaster, post: 375263, member: 60795"] Looking for some help on developing a plug-in/feature for MediaPortal 1.0. My Yamaha receiver (RX-V1800/RX-V3800) has an RS232 (serial) port interface through which I can access such information as the current volume level and input signal information. I'm looking to implement a plug-in for MediaPortal such that whenever I change the volume on my receiver, the volume level will be displayed on the MediaPortal GUI. How should I go about implementing this on the MediaPortal side of things?: - Should I implement it as a process plug-in that generates an ACTION_SHOW_VOLUME action whenever I detect a volume change from the serial port interface code? - Will I be able to affect changes to the GUI as a plug-in or do I have to "hack" the core MediaPortal code to make this work? All the help and pointers are appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
