Crashes of driver are removed. But MHC control still doesn't work properly here
Small bug in repeat delay bar - it displays 1000ms everytime configuration screen is loaded.
Hi there,
i´ve tried the new driver too and it work´s fine with my m-play blast.
But can anybody tell me what these signs are? Yesterday there was a "G" *gg* (version 1.4.2008)
The signs are com'n if i shut down mp.
Also the the half of the splashscreen (mp-logo) is missing.
A notice because the "umlaute" e.g. ? for ü
Did anybody swiched the language of mhc to german? then you have a lot of funny ??? for the "umlaute".
I think the bug is to find in the source of mhc or the driver.
so long OptimusPrime
p.s
great work guy´s

For MHC control to work, MHC MUST be running before MediaPortal is started... Your logs show the MHC was NOT running when MediaPortal was started, therefore MHC will not be started when MediaPortal exits.
Please run MHC, then run MediaPortal, then shut down Mediaportal and post your mediaportal.log.
It may be that the blast uses slightly different command codes... or you may have found a bug... But I don't have the display, so I can't tell which it is... especially without logs...
Can you capture the communications on the serial port between MHC and the display (using something like BusHound or some other serial port monitor)???
The problem is not in the driver... It is elsewhere in MediaPortal... and I haven't found it yet... (which you would already know if you had actually read through the thread)
Here is a bug-fix version...
Fixed the display anomolies in the advanced configuration screen and various other minor changes.
I don't think that it wasn't run (am I so stupid?), but try it again
Hi cybrmage,
i tested the new plugin (01082008b) and it don 't work.
I startet mhc, then i strated mp,mhc was closed but not action on the display,then mhc started automatic,
then i closed mp.

I've tried some combinationsand found interresting results which can found with MHC control debugging. When I run MP after windows boot, at the first it's run MHC control works. But when there was MP run once in that windows instance, independently on M.Play presence, it can't control it more. May be some not correct closing of port? Hope that it can help. All tests on last version.
As attachement two logs: 1) correct function, 2) not correct function
Same like here. Try it after computer restart.

Hi, cybrmage,
i have logged the start and endsequence with serial port monitor.
i hope it's useful.

in all test the log shows this squence.
Yes, it was helpful... but not complete...
The logs show that there are slight differences between the MR300 that the driver was based on (via logs provided by Herr R aus B) and the M.Play Blast... (mainly, the MR300 has 2 fans, the Blast has 3)...
But the logs do not show MHC controlling the fans or displaying custom characters or processing Remote buttom presses.
Can you please provide logs of MHC displaying the digital clock and controlling the fan speed and processing button presses? (I also need the mediaportal log from when MediaPortal is executed and controling the display.) Thanks!
Here is a new EXPERIMENTAL version of the driver.
There is added support for differences in the different versions of the M.Play devices... In the advanced configuration, you will find an additional option for "Device Type"... If not set, the device type will default to "AUTOMATIC", and the driver will try to detect the device from the ID reply from the display. If the driver can't automatically detect the display type, it will revert to using "MZ4" (MR300) as the device. You can override the automatic detection by selecting the specific ID string that your device returns (or that describes your device).
I also fixed an error that caused the driver to throw an exception when "Manage MHC" is selected and the driver tries to restart MHC. I also added an additional delay after MHC is terminated to allow for the resources used by MHC (specifically the comm port) to be released.
Please remember, when you post regarding problems with the driver, I need the mediaportal.log (and the configuration.log if the problem is with the driver setup).

CybrMage
Hi cybrmage,
you're really great!!!
The new plugin run absolut perfect with my m-play blast!
I used the MP7 driver.
the m-play blast have only 2 fan's not 3
here are different logfiles from port monitoring:
