TV3ExtChannelChanger Will Not Save Settings (1 Viewer)

[Sirc]

Hello,

I am having a problem getting TV3ExtChannelChanger to preserve any settings I change in the plugin once the TV3 Config Panel is closed. I can get TV3ExtChannelChanger working as when I hit test to change a channel it does indeed change the channel.

If I close the plugin config and return to the TV3 config everything is ok, going back to the TV3ExtChannelChanger config shows my settings still there. However as soon as I close the TV3 config my TV3ExtChannelChanger settings have been erased. I am not sure what else I can do. Any suggestions?

Solution: TV3ExtChannelChanger Will Not Save Settings

I had the same problem. I resolved it by creating the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MediaPortal TV Server

-> Note that when you follow the install instructions contained in the ReadMe.txt file for the plugin the contents of the AppData folder should be copied to this directory that you create and not to any existing "MediaPortal TV Server" folders found through searching.

With a fresh install of MediaPortal 1.0 this directory did not exist on my computer. Instead I had the following "MediaPortal TV Server" folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server

I discovered the needed folder after downloading the source code for the plugin.
See TV3ExtChannelChanger.cs line 36:
public static readonly string AppDataFolder =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData) +
"\\MediaPortal TV Server\\";

It may be that the "IR Server" plugin is the one we should use now? I noticed that it was updated much more recently & appears to have the same STB configuration options. I installed the "IR Server" plugin and was unable to get it to duplicate the functionality of the TV3ExtChannelChanger plugin but I didn't spend much time working with it.
