The latest version (version 5) of Multi Media Plus (MMPlus) has been released and requires a 2-part installation. (Please note, before installing the latest version you must uninstall any previous versions installed.)
Installation:
V5.10.0.0 - This is the installer for the MMPlus, simply run the setup.exe in the folder. Once this is installed, check that the required file c:\WINDOWS\MMPLUS.INI is present.
VideoClientComponentSetup-4.3.0.0 - This is a separate component that needs to be installed for MMPlus to function. Again simply run the setup program in the folder.
Three elements are required for the configuration of MMPlus:
The Multi Media Plus (MMPlus) software is run via an ini file (MMPLUS.INI) that can be configured by the user to work with BE. To test, run the MMPlus.exe from the install folder (default is ‘C:\pwrstore\mmplus’).
Note: You must launch the MMPlus.exe before starting Dynapos. When POS starts it checks whether it can connect to MMPlus using the configuration settings in Till Devices.
The MMPlus software is configured using the MMPLUS.INI file. Version 5 supports images of the purchased items being displayed and also allows text to be included in the subtotal and change details displayed for MMPlus.
The INI file supports a new option to specify the length of time (in seconds) that an image is displayed for.
