Reciever plugin (2 Viewers)

[borax]

Hahah i was to anxious to try It works perfectly, great work. Switching is flawless.

Few comments:

- Because of the visual feedback show (changing volume is slower);
- Miss one input mode - TAPE;
- The last current input on the ddlb says Req. (this did nothing).
- Maybe handier to switch between zone 1 and 2 than to have separte controls (both use the same input and clogs up the GUI).

Will give it a full testdrive tomorrow

AWESOMEEEE...

Will try to implement the Sony protocol aswell so I can get some more people to try this app out .

Glad you like it!

That would be great. I will do my best to test it ;-)

I think I've got the basics going here. Please try it with the Sony recievers(just need to verify that I got the protocol formatting right). Right now only main zone power, mute and volume works. Just for your information.

-EDIT: Has fixed so I think you should have access to all the basic commands in the UI . Please try it out.

Hi,

This looks like a great plugin! I have created a simple RPC server to control pioneer receivers and sony cx777es dvd changers. That is how I found out that the Pioneer rs232 protocol is really really easy.

I have attached the specs from pioneer. I would like to contribute to your plugin by making the Pioneer receivers work however I have not been able to find the source code.

Of course you can add it as well


In the mean time I will be developing an other plugin to give MP control over Sony DVD Changers.

Cool, will try to add support for this in this week . Will also extend the featureset a bit more(include more functions). Are you good at making MP UI's?

Cool, that would be great!

I have build the first prototype of the dvd changer plugin today which works.

Is it possible to send a message to your receiver module telling it to switch to the dvd channel for instance?

I am new to MP, I was an XBMC user so I have no experience with interface plugins (yet)

Sure, I can make a server if you want to that can change settings via i.e. XML commands, would that work ok for you? I will think a bit about how the architecture for this should/could look so that it's generic enough for anyone to make extension plugins.

I've done some on the interface plugin part but it's a lot trial n error now in the beginning so that's why I'm trying to find someone that's a bit more experienced .

Could we not do it by the internal MP messaging structure?

I do not have the code here available so I cannot look up the commands but it should be easy to register as the receiver of messages so other modules can send messages to your plugin.

I will take a look in the code for examples tonight.

Sure, sounds like a plan. I would like to get the volumeup/down actions from MP. I can only hope there is some command about that being sent in the MP messaging structure so that I can make a hookup.

Try this out and tell me if it works out .

It works, it sees the current volume levels (main and zone) and I can change them as well.

The "Current input" is greyed out, but that is probably not implemented yet?

great work!

..........Some where in the initialize............

			//Attach event listener
			GUIWindowManager.Receivers += new SendMessageHandler(OnThreadMessage);

..........end somewhere in the initialize................

		private void OnThreadMessage(GUIMessage message)
		{
			switch(message.Message)
			{
				case GUIMessage.MessageType.GUI_MSG_TUNE_EXTERNAL_CHANNEL:
					int channelNum = int.Parse(message.Label);
					ChangeChannel(channelNum);
					break;
			}
		}

Hereby the code for receiving messages from the MP kernel, I will look for a way to send these kind of messages so I can post a message to you plugin to change the channel on the selected receiver for instance.

By the way, not to be picky but it's Receiver, not Reciever ;-)




-- Edit:

I have not yet been able to find the correct GUI messages for volume management
