Hi again
I'm using MP build 19843 and TellstickPauseBeta080722 but can't disable Tellstick Pause for Recorded TV. The lights go off/on even if I have everything unchecked in the Validity tab. This does not happen with MP 19843 and TellstickPause080607.
The sunset feature works very well for My Videos though

Yes
Any ideas?
I'm not sure what it means. I just made a fresh install and applied SVN build 20143 + TellstickPauseBeta080722. I unselected all checkboxes on the validity tab and started a recorded show in Recorded TV. Tellstick shouldn't turn the lights off but it did.
Any ideas?

Is it possible to control more then one device when pausing/stopping a video? Or is it still only one device that is controlable?
I dont have any Tellstick yet, but i thinking of buying one this week... it seems that everybody are very satisfied with it!
Are there any future plans for this plugin? More functions or other funny stuff?

Still only one device (unless you set your devices to listen to the same code, or use old IKEA Koppla that can be controlled by group). This is because of a limitation in the Tellstick not allowing you to send out a signal more often than about half a second.
Of course I could create a thread that waited half a second between each device, but then it would probably go nuts when someone pressed play and pause rapidly a couple of times.
As for other new features, I added a function for listening for properties in MediaPortal. It is currently used for communicating between the GUI plugin and the process plugin of Tellstick Pause. But it can just as well be used by other plugins. I got an indication from the author of MyVoice that he would soon add support for setting properties with MyVoice. That would mean that you will be able to just say stuff like "Livingroom lights ON!" and the lights will go on.
If you have any certain feature request, just post it here and I will tell you what I think about it. I had a request for creating some kind of macro where you could create a button for Movie mode, Morning mode etc. Perhaps I will do that when I have time (Thanks Halle@TelldusForum for the request).
Yes, you are right. I just wanted to wait a while to see if anyone found more bugs.
But with 4 downloads so far, the beta must be really heavily tested

I think the latest version works very well so perhaps it should go out of beta and be uploaded as a MPI file?

Like you said, if it waits 0,5sek between each device you could control more than one.... and to make it more user configurable perhaps you could make it so the user can do its own macros? Like when you press play, Device 1 + 2 would turn the lights of and then Device 3 would dim down to a user set level? And when pressing pause only Device 2 would light on, and pressing stop would turn everything back on as before. ? Just an idea...
And one more thing, as Im using my HTPC as a control device for my living room it would be great if you could integrate it with the GUI in MediaPortal. Like the "Forward, Next, Stop, Play, Pause, Back, Home" screen that slides down when you move your mouse to the top of screen, but if you move the mouse to the bottom of the screen the "TELLSTICK" light on, off, dim functions will be shown instead. What about that?
And the sunset function, i dont know how it really works yet. But is it possible to get some devices to be turned on in specific times? Like device 1 to be turned on between 22-06, mon to friday.
Absolutely nothing you have to do, just some ideas i got and like i said it would be great if i could control my lights with my touch screen in an easy way!
Best regards!
