OptimusPrime: either level for MediaPortal is fine... BUT you do need to enable "Extensive logging" in the ExternalDisplay plugin.

Does MHC have a manual fan speed mode??? can you log it with manual fan speed and the fans each set at different speeds (IE Fan1 = 40% Fan2 - 80%)...

So.. the Blast does only have 2 fan controls... but it reports temperatures differently... It returns 3 bytes per temperature report (which led me to beleive that it had 3 fans) instead of 1 byte per report like the MR300....

Your logs ( mhc_fancontrol.txt) shows MHC requesting the temperature, but it doesn't show any fan change commands being sent to the display... I think that MHC is remembering the last temperature and fan speed and only sets them when they need to change... Can you redo the fan control logging immediately after the computer has been turned on (and is cold), and for long enough that it actually changes the fan speed???

And... YES... I do!!! 8-}

Regards,
CybrMage

Here is another EXPERIMENTAL version...

I fixed a bug where the temperature reading were misinterpreted and always set the fans off.
I also recoded the temperature reading code to account for the differences with the M.Play blast.

If someone could test this with the "Device Type" set to "AUTOMATIC" (so I can see if the device detection is working) and post the mediaportal.log, It would be greatly appreciated.

Hi cybrmage,

here the logfile for mhc's automatic control.

fan1 was set at above 24 grad
fan2 was set at above 26 grad

as the tempratur's were reached, the fan's are going to 100 %

is this what you want?

he logfile for the new plugin follows soon ........

It fixes a bug in the device detection routines.


there it is ....

In "AutomaticMode" the symbols appears (displaypicture from older thread) again when i shutdown mediaportal.

The mp-logo on the welcome-screen appears only sometimes, if it appeaars the first lines are missing, like cut in the middle.
