Problem since the 17th August release.

Hi,

None of my buttons for mediacenter work from my ppc! The same ccf works from my windows pc thou.... I don't know what is wrong. All the girder functions work fine.

I am also having problems with an error. I keep getting an error which says, "Error Read Error". This causes NR to exit.

Does anyone have anyideas.

Hi,

Thought I would give a bit more info.

I have double checked all the plugin settings.

I am getting track info back from mediacenter.

I can not get any playlists, or media libraries.

Reinstall the win32 version on the PC that's running JRMC and see if this helps.

Are you absolutely sure that there is only one instance of the mediabridge plug in and it shows the same port as MC Tools> options> start up.

Hi JLee,

I have just done that it worked. All my MC functions now work again.

Still have the error in my CCF thou. "Error Read Error"!

Thanks

I have fixed my final problem, it was the "Error Read Error"

I was trying to use marcels util's battery status, on the PPC, it does not work!!! I must learn, RTF Manual!

I am not sure what you mean 'it does not work' ?

the PPC battery status is already implemented in NR, you don't need a plugin for that.
the battery variables in my plugin only work for win32.

nevertheless, using my dll should not cause a crash....

did you have to remove the dll to make the problem go away or just the reference to some variables ?

you say 'All my MC functions now work again. ' so that means that it doesn't crash immediately. how long does it take to crash ?

do you have a wifi card in your ppc ?

did you use the 15/08/04 version of the dll ?

Hi Marcel,

I meant by "it does not work" that the battery status is not intended to work with ppc, I did not read the doc's properly... :oops:

I was trying out yours on the ccf I am working on, because it has more states. Then I realised, read the doc's.

To stop it crashing, I removed all references to the battery lua, from the ccf, i.e. the battery image button. Now I can not recreate the crash.

The error I was getting was I think and error from the LUA side of things. It was "Error Read Error" The PPC was getting this error only on a change of powerstate, i.e. when I put the PPC on the docking station.

'All my MC functions now work again. ' This was a seperate problem, I had two independent problems. This was fixed by a reload on the main PC.

The DLL is the 15/08/04 version.

Thanks

because it has more states.

I thought that my variables were exactly the same as the one built into NR ? (only with 'Marcel' as a prefix)

WIN32 :

Marcel.Power.BatteryLifePercent
Marcel.Power.ChargeStatus
Marcel.Power.BatteryLifeTime
Marcel.Power.AC

PPC :

Power.BatteryLifePercent
Power.ChargeStatus
Power.BatteryLifeTime
Power.AC

I did notice slightly different behaviour :
i.e. the 'charging' bit on Power.ChargeStatus goes off when the battery is full on WIN32 and not on PPC. that is why I switched to Power.AC, that works the same on both platforms and you don't need a binary AND function in lua (see example lua script)....

I don't know if they are the same, it just appearred to be better.

I am going to try and use you graphics, with the NR variable.
