Hi Guys

I have now got a stable version of remote support for FireDTV, this is more of an add on to MediaPortal as it mimics the MCE remote.

I have also setup an interface to make it easy for additional remotes to be added.

Remote support?

Hello!

I tried to add this plugin to my Mediaportal program. I first installed Mediaportal 1.0.2.0, then latest CVS (06-16-05), then I copied files from you archive file that includes those remote control files. After that I configured Mediaportal and enabled FireDTV remote control. I closed RC and CI programs before doing that. Then I restarted Mediaportal as it prompts and nothing happens. Remote don't work. Then I tried to put on that advance beta mode, but still nothing happens... What should I do?

Best regards,
Kari

It's already included in the latest CVS versions.

Hi Guys

I have submitted a patch to Sourceforge.

1.) Better logging
2.) Better Exception Handling.
3.) Updated DLL Interops.
4.) Response issues.

Please make sure that the fireSATAPI.dll file is in the mediaportal directory.

I could not get this to work until I had a look at the sources, and found there is a naming problem regarding the XML-entries in MediaPortal.xml.

In Configuration/Sections/FireDTVRemote.cs (204-206) the following is used to store the configuration:

Code:
xmlwriter.SetValueAsBool("remote", "FireDTV", checkBoxFireDTVEnabled.Checked);
xmlwriter.SetValue("remote", "FireDTVKeyFile", textBoxFireDTVKeyFile.Text);
xmlwriter.SetValue("remote", "FireDTVRemoteName", comboBoxRemoteControl.Text);

In RemotePlugins/FireDTV/FireDTVRemote.cs (75-77) the following is used to load the configuration:

Code:
_remoteEnabled	= ((xmlreader.GetValueAsBool("remote", "FireSAT", false)) && (_FireSAPapiFound));
_FileName		= (xmlreader.GetValueAsString("remote", "FireSATKeyFile", "FireSATKeyMap.XML"));
_RemoteName		= (xmlreader.GetValueAsString("remote", "FireSATRemoteName", "FireSAT Remote Control"));

When I changed the load to match the save, the remote control worked like a charm. I can't get the buttons 0-9 to work, but I will have to look at that some other day, for now its workable.

Hello

The integrated FireDTV remote plugin in 0130 (and its CVS) is OK :)
All works nice :)

Don't forget 2 things :

-> Copy FireSatApi.dll
from /program files/FireDTV/Tools
to /mediaPortal/

-> Close RC icon (Remote Control) in right task bar

This is for the tvserver, the iptv part. It used to only support m3u files containing all the channels, but now you can use a m3u8 too. Usually you get an m3u8 from your iptv provider, but there are also some that can be found on the internet

Thanks for explaining. I found a passing reference to this here: https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/HID%20Profiles which I had overlooked in the past. I would find it logical for a created custom profile to be automatically activated, but until that happens, I will try to create a wiki page for the current...
