Tellstick Pause Plugin (2 Viewers)

I have mediaportal RC1 and it says its not compatible and won't start the plugin.

I have mediaportal RC1 and it says its not compatible and won't start the plugin.

When does it say this?
Can you configure the plugin?
(works fine in RC1 for me)

 

[ravenrocks]

It happens when I press "Plugins" in configuration.
I have SVN 19158 installed.

 

[MrMad]

OK, I installed SVN 19158 and it still works fine for me.
Can you give me more input?
Did you install with the MPI file?
Can you start configuration, click "plugin" and then post the TellstickPause messages found in Configuration.log?
Is this the first time you try TellstickPause or has it worked before?

 

[ravenrocks]

Let me just clarify something. I don't own a tellstick yet, its sitting in some mailoffice waiting to be delivered. Could this be the cause of the problem. The dll checking for it and not finding it?

Anyways, to answer your questions:
I installed with the MPI.
From Configuration.log:

[MrMad]

OK, that should explain the problem. You do not need to have the Tellstick, but you need to install the drivers.
Download them here

I will see if I can update the plugin so you get a better error message though.

 

[ravenrocks]

Yup, works like a charm now. Thanks alot.
Tack ska du ha

 

[MrMad]

No problem
I have submitted a new version of the plugin that checks that the drivers are installed and that at least one device is configured, so we do not get this problem again. (last version just returned a DllNotFoundException that MediaPortal incorrectly assumed was because the plugin was not compatible)

Hey and thanks for this wonderful plugin, just one issue though. If you press pause the lights turns on, if you then press stop (in pause mode) it sends another "turn lights on" and my lamp starts to dim.

Maybe you can add a function that if it's in pause mode, not send another "turn on lights" when stop is pressed.

 

[MrMad]

Ooops. I just use the IKEA dim function (with different levels for pause and stop) so it is no problem for me. I will look into changing the behavior for ON/OFF.
