HouseBot

Oh yes, this would be a learning experience for me, so of course, no charge. Yeah, If you could send me the work you've done for the winamp plugin, I can manipulate that. Thanks!

In fact, this may be a bit easier if I alter the Winamp plugin you already have to do what I need it to do, can ya post the files for that as well...not just the DLL :) Thanks!

I'm interested in beginning to develop a plug in for various devices, and curios what resources you used, Scott, to accomplish this. This would mainly be for software apps on the computer (like your winamp driver)...and recommendations?

I'll try it and give it a shot. I'm attempting to control the media on another computer (read: inside the same network) instead of using a replicated device......thats just ONE MORE program running. I'd like to (in theory) via command line, access the other computer and cause a media file to load, a...

Maybe this should be moved to bug reports, once I shut down and restarted HB I got the scrollbars. Hmmm. Sorry!

Maybe Scroll Bars for backgrounds and layouts that excede the screen size? :)



Thanks!

I'm using it because it is what housebot supports. I prefer to use a program called 'GDiVX" just because its interface is clean and simple and it plays DiVX movies smoothly. I have yet to use Windows Media Player successfully (and reliably) playing DiVX...and I need a host of plugs to use winam...

Yes, I didn't mention that...I was referring to the size of the up and down arrows. I haven't checked out myHTPC, I was busy digging through Housebot. I have tinkered with various front ends for Car-puters (Media Car, among others, see MP3car.com ) which are interfaces for media control. My main rea...

As I have said in other posts, I am using a networked PC as a video server of sorts, and I control it via my software remote from another room. Thus far, I am using WinAmp so I can control the movies (well, play, stop, pause, volume, and fullscreen). However, this isn't rock solid....I'd like to see...

I dont suppose you know of a way to convert the XML file to one that Housebot can import? Or a way to convert to UDB files to the hex values? Remotecentral has some apps, and after Dl them and using them, they are a bit over my head. Any other suggestions? Ive also downloaded dozens of CCF files, bu...

Sent, Scott.



BTW, jchuchla is out of town for a few days...he's another convert if turned onto housebot (and I know you're lurking come Monday, Jon)

I had pretty much abandoned the load XML feature, as any XML code I had never showed up in the load command window....it was just blank. I suppose Ill keep trying.

Search Remotecentral, there is an extensive thread still ongoing (gave you a plug!) re: the codes for my unit. Also, which is faster....setting up a task to send all of the toggle commands or just assigning those 3 codes to a property change? I downloaded a ton of CCF files, and it's damn near impos...

Scott- Turns out that not all of my devices have discrete input codes (grumble... Philips 32" 2002 tv) and so, in order to get to the input I ahve to do a combination of button pushes (a combination of an A/V toggle pulse and a Channel Up).....instead of assigning the seperate IR codes to one p...

Did some searching on the winamp2 forum, and there are several plugins to control winamp2 via command line. I suppose I can incorporate these commands into a task. Also, if you use the VidAmp plugin, there is an option to play fullscreen on startup of a video, so all you would have to do is launch t...
