I guys, I really think you have to put a sticky thread like: need developpers !!
and maybe ask for task in each reply !
Another point, in my mind, I'm maybe not the best programmers, however, I know, C, C++, VB, java, php, css, some shell scripts, little perl, hardware conception/arch... and I really thing that getting involved in lmce is hard, hard, hard (in time)!!

In my case I'm creating a new company, so it take me lot's of time and to be involved, I really need to read hundred of doc... the developper thread looks like... poor... no easy step...

So I guess lmce could be more efficient with this kind of "programmers doc for dummies" !
All of guru like hary, tschak... know tricks, arch... of lmce and have

easyest way is to follow my link above, take my script (same little bit modified), create a table in language with new ID for italian, maybe 4,5... whatever... then change the langage in the script and the langage id (of the sql table)

Only one problem, with this script (yahoo translation), after 50, 100 word, the yahoo website, looks like not allowing the translation... so you have to wait for some hours then retry from the last translated word !!

ok !
Just for info, did you fix these ??

Hopefully it won't be too long and I'll get that part figured out. Its one of the few bugs remaining in the toggle handling.

Skeptic,

 Use webadmin - Wizard - AV Equipment - your device - AV properties. You will then get the test. I find when you go back to the template and click edit A/V properties you loose the send too device which would be why you cannot test them.

hy,do you know if there is a way of
1/ creating cycling IR signal!
For example, my tv (panassonic plasma) can turn on/off by holding the remote buton during 2s-3s, so I tried to copy/paste the learned code several times but it's not enough !
2/ creating more complex scenario like sending one code, then 1s later sending another one...
3/ sending code depending on event, in my case, I have a air control device that I control by infra red, however the ir signal send for increasing the temperature is depend on the current temperature. For example, if it's 75°, then the signal should be 76°...

Users / Re: video, audio and pictures from a nas via cifs

« on: August 06, 2008, 09:41:32 pm »

ok, so just for info,

I re-discovered the nas, and created share for video, pic and audio, independant, and declare it as lmce structure !! I  filtered by type (directories= videos...)
then everything work great!

Just the pics are a little bit poor ! No way to change the pics fom one to another (have to go back to the list...), no diaporama, and on win orbiter... you can see the pics on orbiter but can't look to it on tv, you have to use the remote.
So I guess we need to add buton like: display on TV...

however everything great
