HouseBot

The software remote display timeout isn't suspended while in the configuration dialog. So, if you aren't quick enough to type in -1 and click OK, then it could time out on you and turn the monitor off while you are just trying to disable the feature. I'm generally not quick enough when a keyboard is...

Minor usability bug:



When adding a property change to a panel enter/exit list you can only type in a property value instead of also getting the button to pick the value from a list like you get in every other place I've run across.

It seems that the toolbar drag handles don't seem to always get proper erasing behind them. To easily repro, have a black background on your desktop, minimize HouseBot, restore, and you will see the black from the desktop left behind on the toolbar drag handles.

Is this a bug? I have used the "Load Pronto XML" to create IR data for a remote and that seems to have worked correctly. However, it looks like I can't load that data quickly or at all into the Global Cache setup. I can only figure out how to create new remote codes from the Global Cache I...

I noticed that the unit was on and the volume was different so I figured it was you playing with it. Don't worry, it's still just a test setup and I expected it. I tried with HouseBot again and it was still not working, so, since it worked fine for you, I'm assume it's something with the TCP/IP stac...

I sent you a PM with the IP address. I'm using a fully updated Windows XP box to host HouseBot on. I just tried telnetting and it didn't look like the logs were showing received data during the telnet session.

If I use telnet, it seems to work fine (no disconnects) other than I can't actually get any commands to the unit because it errors out every time sending me back "E04" (inappropriate command line). Telnet must be sending CR+LF even though I've configured it to send only CR when I hit Enter...

It looks like we've got the Received Data property working right. The following log shows the problem that I'm now seeing as I try to ramp the volume using an auto-repeat property button. This same setup works fine on a regular serial port. If I unplug the GC-100 and plug back in, then it may be abl...

HouseBot 1.62.1 GC-100-12 It seems to be acting funny in the serial department. I haven't tried IR yet... 1. It seems to be sending incomplete commands the first time I change a property, then when I do it again, it seems to send the data out twice. This sequence is repeatable. I conclude this by wa...

I have the 2.35 version as well. If I use no font smoothing or standard font smoothing, then the font looks pretty bad on screen in the sizes that I'm using (between 18 and 24 or so) especially the capitals. Much of my text uses all capitals. If I turn on ClearType in Windows XP, then the font looks...

Minor bug: I'm using the "Impact" font which seems to be installed by default with Windows XP. When I use capital A as the first letter for some text in a button, for example "Aspect" size 20, it clips off part of the left side of the A for some reason. I noticed that there is a ...

I've ordered a Global Cache device, and was wondering if this change could be made there as well for it's serial support?

That works fabulously! Thanks very much for being so responsive.

I want to do a J. River Media Center plugin, and it would be a great time saver to start from the Winamp plugin as well. I will make the plugin available for free of course. The tricky part is that this program has a tree type control for playlist management. I think I can get around that problem in...

Okay, I finally figured out what's happening and it doesn't seem like it can work properly in all cases. It looks like the plugin takes two numeric digits in decimal and converts that to hex for the the output. The problem with that is that you can't turn any numbers over 99 into the proper hex digi...
