Mvp Height+Width & Offsets

[darrin75]

It would be nice to be able to change this from the config.exe app. That would elimate any incorrect editor use.

Sub have give this any thought?

It's on my to-do list, but I must admit its has been there about year. This change is a good idea, but I've got about a million good ideas to work on, so I focus on the ones that are more important to me first.

It was a slow day at work so I made a quick plugin that will do what you want.
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
Just zip 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.

I like it, awesome job.

Ron looks good, one problem it's a global setting, what happens if you have more than one Media MVP?

That is more of a issue for Sub. All my program does is edit the following entries in config.xml
<MVPWidth>640</MVPWidth>
<MVPHeight>500</MVPHeight>
<MVPOffsetX>44</MVPOffsetX>
<MVPOffsetY>40</MVPOffsetY>

These are global settings (I belive).

Ron22,

Sub has given us the ability to position each MVP by putting MAC address tags in the config. Following is a snippet from my config

<MVPWidth>640</MVPWidth>
<MVPHeight>430</MVPHeight>
<MVPOffsetX>25</MVPOffsetX>
<MVPOffsetY>25</MVPOffsetY>
<MAC-000DFE0023B6>
<MVPWidth>640</MVPWidth>
<MVPHeight>430</MVPHeight>
<MVPOffsetX>25</MVPOffsetX>
<MVPOffsetY>25</MVPOffsetY>
</MAC-000DFE0023B6>
<MAC-000DFE008D2C>
<MVPWidth>630</MVPWidth>
<MVPHeight>425</MVPHeight>
<MVPOffsetX>30</MVPOffsetX>
<MVPOffsetY>25</MVPOffsetY>
</MAC-000DFE008D2C>

The first set is the global settings for anything that hasn't been setup. The second 2 are specific for my units. Maybe you could do a search for the tags to display/change, if nothing then allow for creation? Cool plugin and much needed!

Ron22,

Sub has given us the ability to position each MVP by putting MAC address tags in the config.

I did not know about this. How do you find your MAC address for your MVP? Would it be acceptable to have the plugin ask you for the address?
I will look into adding these changes.

Ron22,

Not sure if you can get it programmatically, they do show up in the gbpvr.exe.log but that's only after they connect. I vote for just entering them manually to keep it simple.

A plugin can already get the MAC address using the IPluginHelper.GetClientIdentifier() call.
