EDIT: One more idea. In conjuction with a UPNP/DLNA server like Serviio, I'm getting the remoteCeton direct stream on my DLNA TV!

Whenever playing in xbmc you will notice horizontal lines during action scenes (the screen shot on the first post highlights the issue). This is caused by the video stream being interlaced. In plugin versions prior to v1.6.3 the dvd player in xbmc handled all processing of the video (i havent upgraded to v1.6.3 so I can not speak as to whether the issue still exists now that the stream is h264..), maybe some flag must be thrown to deinterlace the incoming video stream on the client pc? When I view the stream in vlc (on client pc) and turn on deinterlacing, the picture quality vastly improves.

While we're talking about apple tv 2, any thoughts on where getting to handling apple tv 2 commands is on the priority list? e.g. I'd like to be able to hit the menu button and have it function the same way as if I hit ESC on my xbmc client PC. The only way for me to stop a stream is to completely reset the apple tv 2 which is getting quite frustrating

I wonder what else we can get this running on

Edit: Maybe PS3 with UPnP??

There is a way to change the setting in XBMC. have to find out if theres a way to do it in from the plugin...



If you have time now, we can do that now. I might need your help in getting some logs.

Give me a few minutes and I'll tell you what to look for.

EDIT: Ok can you spam the button a few times for each button (Remember the order that you pressed those buttons ) that you want implemented and then send me a copy of the log.
The buttons ids get outputted to the log: self.log('onAction ' + str(action))

From the wiki: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Global_Apple_Remote
It looks like menu is 6 on apple tv... but 6 is also page down on the pc?

EDIT2: Let me know how this works for you: http://www.mediafire.com/?wbl7b9i1d291mcz

mcheng89 Wrote:not sure. maybe switch it to print if you can. I'll be back later. lunch...
