[QUOTE="Herr R aus B, post: 219033, member: 62807"] Here is my report for version C. The VFD now shows reasonable things. But german Umlaute (ä ö ü ...) are not displayed - see the attached pictures where the file name says what should be displayed. Is this maybe a VFD issue? or is it a MP issue? Where can these display texts be configured? I still experience this red exclamation mark (see attached screen shot) in the configuration and as Manfred already reported, it's not possible to save a new remote configuration. I wanted to switch the action for PwrOn/Off to "Standby Windows" instead of "Exit MP". Due to this issue I also attached two configuration logs. Furthermore I experienced, that the configuration program keeps running although it was stopped (see attached screen shot). I just ran into that, because i couldn't delete the old version's DLL file which obviously was allocated by the process. This might be a general issue... Btw (well...) thanks for all your efforts! :-) I am thinking of diving into coding myself, coz my wishlist for a reasonable driver is rather long. Unfortunately as I am no coder anymore but project leader now i got stuck somewhere with MFC 4.2 coding, which was (light)years ago. Now I am just a little bit into Java - dunno if i would make it to get into the .NET and C# thing - especially as there's no free development tools like in the Java world - or are these express versions M$ once spit out suitable for MP plugin development? Anyway - I am looking forward to test the next version of your driver. And then the version, that will be able to do the fan control, talk with different remotes etc blabla... :-) Even better this might also be a windows background service, that would replace that crappy MHC application. Such a service could do the fan control, offer an IRTrans server and a display interface (maybe also socket based) so that the plugin for the display would "only" be a litle socket client... Doing it as a SOAP based web service would be even better... Btw (again) is there an API to control the TV scheduler from external devices? As this ist a .NET application it would be great, if all functions would be accessible f.ex. as web services... I am going off topic... sorry :-) But if you did THAT, you'd always get free accomodation whenever you'll make it to Berlin ;-) Especially as I have lots of sympathies for canadians, as I spent a great time with a bunch of somewhat sleepy but very friendly Ontarians - I should move to Toronto, but thats off off topic... :-) Axel [/QUOTE]
