Dune HD Media Player Plugin

Plugins & Plugin Development General Plugin Discussion

I will create a small Vera plugin for my new media player (Dune HD TV-303D).

Initially I would like to get player status to be able to turn off light when a movie starts.
It would also be possible to control the device but I don’t see any immediate need for this.

I have only had the player for a couple of weeks but it seems really nice to play everything I have thrown at it. My HTPC will retire… finally… Here is a tech spec for the small version of the player:

Ok, released first version in SVN now.

Wiki also updated and published

Looks great, even though I don’t have a dune player.

Don’t you wanna release the plugin on apps.mios.com?

4

Cool, will check if it works on mu dune smart d1 as well

@chixxi
Will add it to market as soon as it’s stable enough. I will probably add functionality for controlling the player as well (at least Pause/Play).

@Screamhouse
Yes, please help me test it!

Great! I can see lots of use for this… :slight_smile:
At the moment, I have no time to test, but I will hopefully find some time soon! :cry:

7

Great o see you are working on this. I have the Dune HD myself.
Good Luck.

Ok, added support for Play/Pause action.
Cleaned up GUI and now also showing playing track (for Dune players supporting version 3 of interaction protocol).

Time for testing guys (and girls).

Works perfect, on Dune BD Prime, and Dune Base 3.

10

Great.

For controlling playback you can also use ir emulation

If you need some help you can ask, i build the same plugin for Philips TSU pronto.

I don’t get any Play or Pause button, what should be filled in with device_type?

13

You should not need to fill in device_type.
Only device_file and impl_file (and dune ip if you wish) is neccessary when creating device.

14

Strange, i do not have this local_udn part under the time created.

15

Weird. Just to rule out any other problem. Could delete current device and redo all steps in the instructions on wiki?

16

Hek, I did already 6 times…

Maybe the issue is, that I uploaded previous files from which were called DuneHD.xml

17

Ok… will do fresh install myself tonight when i’m back home.

Great if you also try removing the old HD-files. Maybe they disturb something…

18

do you know how, is it via SSH?

19

Yes ssh (or use winscp) to your box and do a

cd /etc/cmh-ludl
rm -f DuneHD

20

removed ALL dune files, loaded them again, created device…same thing.

just to be sure, I create a device and add D_Dune.xml and I_Dune.xml nothing more
