Re: ScreenControl plugin v0.8.0 for MediaPortal 1.2.0 and higher

Hi there,

I have only just found this plugin and it looks really neat!

Two questions:

1) Does anyone have a skin file that works with streamedMP?

2) The voice commands are really neat (although I am still experimenting with training Windows), is there a plan to expand this capability? It would be great if you could call up moving pictures (or music), and then spell out the name of the film (artist) to refine the list on the screen. Then using "up", "down", "left", "right" and "enter" would be fairly easy to select the item of choice and play it!

Thanks

Hello. I have a problem with your plugin. I use two monitors on one computer (tv and monitor). MP is running on TV, on monitor I use other programs. Everything works well, but events ScreenControl not work. Perhaps your plugin recognizes clicking on the mouse and keyboard and does not understand that the MP is actually idle. In default screensaver of MP is working correctly. Regardless of what I do with a keyboard and mouse on the monitor, it disables the TV and wakes it up just by pressing a button on the remote (I use the Remote Control Microsoft Remote Control with IR Server Suite (IRSS). Can i anything be done about it? Or you fix this? Plugin very necessary and I would really like to use it, but until my configuration is not possible.

Hello iaMP,
welcome to MediaPortal and in one of my plugin collection thread.

Perhaps your plugin recognizes clicking on the mouse and keyboard and does not understand that the MP is actually idle. ... Regardless of what I do with a keyboard and mouse on the monitor, it disables the TV and wakes it up just by pressing a button on the remote (I use the Remote Control Microsoft Remote Control with IR Server Suite (IRSS). Can i anything be done about it? Or you fix this? Plugin very necessary and I would really like to use it, but until my configuration is not possible.

ScreenControl use normal hook detection routines for mouse and keyboard. As I understand a lot of days before in other discussions, IR Server Suite "emulates" key presses only. Due to this emulation, ScreenControl cannot detect this, because it was not a "real" key press.
To support this, I had introduced the configuration option "Enable extended activity detection", but this is only a experimental feature. I'm not able to depict a IRSS environment, so I'm addicted from other users.
Please try these option, maybe this can help here.

Cheers, Micropolis

Hello Micropolis. Thank you for your prompt response.
Probably because of my bad English, we have each other is not understood. This portion of my words:

Regardless of what I do with a keyboard and mouse on the monitor, it disables the TV and wakes it up just by pressing a button on the remote (I use the Remote Control Microsoft Remote Control with IR Server Suite (IRSS).

refers to the standard Screensavers, which can be configured in GUI section, the MP configuration.
That is, the standard screen dimming (available by default, no plugins) works as expected. TV (with MP) wakes up only when pressing a button on the remote, and does not wake up when you're working with keyboard and mouse.
I would like to know. Is it possible to achieve the same effect, but only with your plugin. Most of all I am interested in the function "Screen Jump".
"Enable extended activity detection" I tried, unfortunately, no change.
Actually, I would like to ensure that when idle or least for a certain key is pressed on the remote, MP jumped to the window WorldClock. Another one of your great plugin, I use it as a screensaver.

AW: ScreenControl plugin v1.0.0 for MediaPortal 1.2.0 and higher

Hello,

at the weekend I did some tests with the screencontrol plugin. Especially with the screensaver.
I'm using a screensaver called wpanorama. The plugin triggers the screensavers start correct.

But I'm not able to end the screensaver with my X10 remote. I have to press a button on my keyboard or my mouse.

When I have ended the screensaver with my keyboard I can see, that MePo has recognized the remote signal.

Does anybody else have seen this behaviour?

Hello megahorst,

... But I'm not able to end the screensaver with my X10 remote. I have to press a button on my keyboard or my mouse...

do you have installed plugins/extensions like IR Server Suite? If yes, please read my discussion with iaMP carefully, thanks.

Cheers, Micropolis
