MVP Screen Size Plugin

[Ron22]

I have a new plugin the lets you adjust the MVP screen setting from the Config utility. It was a slow day at work
I sure some day Sub will get around to adding this to the main config but untill then this should help those that do not want to edit the config.xml file.
Download here
MVPScreenPosition.zip
If someone can tell me how to add it to wiki I will upload it with the very small source code.

Just unzip the file and install in the plugin directory.
1) Start the config.exe app.
2) Click on Plugins
3) Click MVP Screen Position
4) Click on Setting
5) Edit the setting and click OK
6) Click on OK in Config.exe
7) Check your TV
Repeat as need to get just right for you.
It does not matter if you have it checked or not it will not show up in GBPVR menu.

Ron22,

Pretty cool plugin! Any chance of another slow day and expanding it to support multiple MVP's

tipstir,

I don't think the plugin has anything to do with it. When I delete the individual MAC address sections out of the config everything goes back to blue. As to the MVP's showing different colors, that is what I am seeing and it is random. Sometimes the same, sometimes different...

I have a new version available for download
Version 2
It now can do up to 4 MVP’s if you know the MAC address. It still needs a lot of work (not that slow at work today)
It will NOT create the entries for new MAC address.
The only error checking is if you enter an invalid MAC address it will clear the entree field.
Again if someone what the source code to help make improvements or just to look at let me know.

It does not address tipstir issue. I have no idea what could be causing this.

New instruction
Unzip to the plugin directory
Select number of MVPs you have (up to 4)
Type in the MAC address
Click on Read Current Settings
Then use the tabs to select the different settings.

To Do
Look into using the IPluginHelper.GetClientIdentifier() to read the MAC address
Lots of error checking for input needed
Look into the issue tipstir reported

How does the plugin affect this? My width and height are both under 640x480 and the problem exists even when not using the plugin.

32" and 35" Sony's and GBPVR goes edge to edge. I only get the red screens when I try to put the MAC address sections in. The parameters are actually smaller than the defaults.

Ron22,

Couple of suggestions (ok, 3):

1) Ability to create entries (of course)
2) Read the config.xml for existing entries instead of having to input them first when they exist. It found the default no problem, figure if you search for MAC-************ should do it. Actually you could search for MAC-000DFE since this part of the address is assigned to Hauppauge but that would not be generic going forward. I entered them, hit the button, and it found them so no big deal.
3) Make all parameters divisible by 4 (per sub in the support thread).

Pretty handy plugin!

Which version did you download the one here or on Wiki? They should be the same but mistakes happen.
One quick test is to type in the 2 MAC address and click read current settings.
Does this read in the setting right?

I am real busy at work and have to work late all week, so I will most likely not be able to look at the program until this weekend. I guess it is to make up for be real slow at work last week.
