Alpha plug-ins available

[MMcM]

I didn't want to put these on SourceForge, because that might confuse those still using G3. All the sources are checked in there. I opted for separate branches, rather than trying source conditionals in the main branch.

These are the source ZIPs. After unzipping, you may want to run the ISS file by hand to make sure that all the registry settings are set. I'm sorry for this incovenience, but the installer EXEs are not allowed by the forum due to the extension and ZIPs of the EXE are not allowed by the forum due to the size.

You'll note that LCD still uses the classic Settings dialog for device definition. If it were a tab, about all it could have is a button to bring up this same dialog, since the interface is too complicated for DUI (until maybe ActiveX).

Let me know here or via PM of problems. No doubt there are a bunch.

Thanks Mike that is great!! (Note: nothing is attached to your post).

Separate post due to forum limitation of 3 attachments.

MMcM,

LCD -> so far no problems here with MO 4x20.

I would suggest for the buttons, maybe using the predefined events that are under the mapped events..

ie

ARROW UP
ARROW DOWN
ARROW RIGHT
ARROW LEFT
ENTER
ESCAPE
PLAY
STOP

or should we could simply leave it to the user to map these events.

[Ron]

(We) should supply a mapping file for this device.

[MMcM]

This improves the initial setting of a new action by supporting duOnGetDefaults, which I didn't know about.

MMcM,

Any ideas on getting data back from WinDVD 6?

[MMcM]

This includes the WinDVD6.reg file from the main source branch.

I asked in another thread, but I'll repeat it here: Will you create an UI for the SetWaveDevice plug-in? It's easier to use than LUA in certain situations. I would really appreciate it!

[Mastiff]

And while I'm at it: Is the DVDSpy for J.River Media Center now multi-zone aware (so it can pull info from all zones independantly), or will it be that?

[Promixis]

MMcM,

Will you have time to update to the most recent DUI? Ron had to make a few small changes which breaks a few things. If not, let me know and we will try and tackle them.

[JohnHind]

And just a word for the manual 8)

All the latest DUI stuff is in the API Manual which is in the Manual subdirectory from Beta 8. Sometimes it is hard keeping up with Ron, but I think I've managed it this time!

[MMcM]

I will try to have a look this weekend.

Where is the updated SendMessage (or other relevant example) source?

[JohnHind]

:)

[birty]

there is an example plugin here http://www.promixis.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=12627

[MMcM]

I have updated these plug-ins for Beta 9. The conversion was fairly minimal; I did not attempt to make use of any new DUI features. The designer crashes for me right away (The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142).), so I am sticking with the old XML, minimally edited.

I have uploaded the results to the Developers upload area. I have included an installer as well as the source this time, since there are some people using the beta in more or less production mode.

The changes are all checked in to SourceForge. But I have not published the binaries there to try to keep down the number of accidents from loading it with G3.

MMcM,

The LCD plugin is not on sourceforge.

I approved all the other plugins here. Thanks again.

[MMcM]

The sources all seem to be checked in to me. Does something look to be missing? Note that they are in the GIRDER_4 branch, not the MAIN branch. If you're using CVS, you'll need to check that branch out. If you're using ViewCVS, there's a combo box at the bottom of the page that says "Select Branch".

None of the binaries is on SourceForge, just to try to keep down the number of mismatches.

[maxsidorov]

I am sorry.. I can't seem to find it.. checked sourceforge - only old versions there...
:(

[birty]

they are there, just in source only, for example for the lcd pligun see http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/girderplugins/LCD/?only_with_tag=GIRDER_4

[MMcM]

The binaries are right here, in the regular downloads area. Downloads > Girder Plug-ins > Girder 4.

[Promixis]

Just approved the lcd upload. Sorry for the delay :(

Mike (McMM),

Would it be possible to add support for the new TheaterTek 2.3 hooks into the G4 version of DVDSpy?

Andrew Chivs at forums.theatertek.com has developed an API which should enable support for DVDSpy in renderless mode, something I'm craving for.

Thanks
