Settings > System > Input Devices > Peripherals (that will open DialogPeripheralManager.xml) on this dialog is a 'settings' button which will open DialogPeripheralSettings.xml - pecinko - 2011-09-30 Dumb question - this is for usb discs or remotes or some other peripheral? - Malard - 2011-09-30 pecinko Wrote:Dumb question - this is for usb discs or remotes or some other peripheral? Multiple new features coming online Remote controls that have custom features (Nyxboard Hybrid for example has a flip action, so when you flip the remote, what do you do with it etc...) Custom hardware, (for instance USB - HDMI CEC Adapter) which allow you to control other hardware from inside XBMC and for other devices going forward, maybe a harmony remote with a custom feature we can tap into - Hitcher - 2011-09-30 pecinko Wrote:Dumb question - this is for usb discs or remotes or some other peripheral?

We would welcome suggestions for other devices that have unique features we don't take advantage of yet. - opdenkamp - 2011-09-30 you can also configure hardware that is not sold by pulse-eight of course, e.g. the keymap when you insert a generic HID device (keyboards, etc.). - pieh - 2011-10-01 Added new mechanism: Skin Variables It allow defining custom "infolabels" - skin variables to avoid duplicating similiar controls that differs only by visibility condition and label/texture How to use:
Here's more "real world example": Confluence using Skin Variables to display codec icons - BigNoid - 2011-10-02 Just a heads up. As of today's nightly build, changes in this commit are now required to load the fonts of your skin: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/c64e27c470408ade3f841d6028c4b231e37a7270#addons/skin.confluence/addon.xml - RockerC - 2011-10-03 Malard Wrote:We would welcome suggestions for other devices that have unique features we don't take advantage of yet.How about home automation systems integration devices for example turning lights ON and OFF when a movie begins and ends? http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=39550 There are already plenty of lighting control scripts for XBMC but they do not have a common API or GUI interface in all skins. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=110392 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=111527 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=111053 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=90034 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=82160 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=42874 So maybe this peripheral manager could be the shared interface the settings of those type of light control devices as well? I can recommend TellStick from Telldus Technologies which could be used as a reference device since it support most recovers. http://www.telldus.se http://developer.telldus.se http://www.telldus.se/products/compability https://github.com/eirikh/TellSticker/tree/master/Contents This lighting control is not the same as for Ambilight/AmBX/Atmolight controller device, although that would be very cool too Another idea is to move the support for external LCD/VFD control settings to peripheral manager, as kind-of relates to remotes. Other suggestion is for PVR interaction that I think was already asked for here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=109387 - Malard - 2011-10-03 HA will come in the future, but VFD stuff is exactly where the peripherals system will come into its own in the near future - Jeroen - 2011-10-08 jmarshall Wrote:1.1 Move the files views inside the library, removing MyVideoFiles.xml and MyMusicSongs.xml. I was just wondering if the files/library merge for music is still planned for Eden? - mkortstiege - 2011-10-08 Nope, won't happen for Eden. - Jeroen - 2011-10-08 too bad, thanks - Jeroen - 2011-10-18 Rollback button added to DialogAddonInfo.xml Not sure when it was added, just noticed it today.
