I mean "Recording is started or TV,Video is played - SleepControl is wating!!" User get a answer, without skin implementations !

Your mockup, yes it's what I mean, but maybe only for local computer. Simple as possible .

-- If I turn off tv, in MP My TV, the plugin work. I having the same problem with my MS MCE remote,

Check your Settings, set force mode ! The Plugin is great!!

Re: SleepControl plugin for MediaPortal v0.7.0

Hi losttown,
ok, now I understand the notification request correctly. It's simple to implement.
Regarding the mockup I can follow your idea "Simple as possible" completely, but other users (see here) want use it for network devices and computers. And I know, in which way all my plugins are grown in the last few month due to feature reuqests ;-)

Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

Re: SleepControl plugin for MediaPortal v0.7.0

Hi 1stdead,
hmm, good question. Could you explain me, how I must configure this feature? And could you give me a hint, whats the benefit, if newer skin files are required?

Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

Last but not least: Do you really use HTPCInfo 0.8 as I can see in your signature?

Sorry i don't think theres a guide out yet.
Firstly you need a place where your mpei's are stored. Most people use google code. You could share the mpei and update info and people could ask for enchancements/bugs. And you don't have to make your code public if you don't want to. (actually i don't know how google code is working). But you need at least a place to store those two files.
You can generate the update xml in the mpei maker as well. See this picture:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...d1259500891-extension-installer-v2-maker1.png

Well benefit: This is how it should work in the future; make it possible to install directly from MePo gui - it is by now :) And yeah that's one of the downsides with skin updates. But you could write that in update info. I think it's worth considering. Quite a lot plugins use it - and it's great that they're updated on MePo start. I don't know whether a smart idea has been implemented but you could ask dukus.

And maybe you can find more help here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/skins-plugins-installer-mpei-212/extension-installer-v2-71542/

No i just made a reinstall so latest :) I don't update my signalture often :)

Re: SleepControl plugin for MediaPortal v0.7.0

Hi 1stdead,
since years I use the Microsoft Team Foundation Server and this offers me better functionalities as "cloud" places.
If it is only required to host special xml-update files, I can use my personal web server, but before I want understand the technology behind update routines.

Thx and cheers, Micropolis ;-)
