getTunerStatus() returns string order by allocation_order index?

Wakalaka · 2007-05-01, 12:56 PM

When I call getTunerStatus(), the string indeces match up with allocation_order index of the capture source. Why doesn't it use oid index - 1 as the index to match the string item to?

e.g. I have capture1, capture2, and capture3 with oid of 1,2,3 respectively. allocation_order is 0,2,1 respectively. If capture1 is recording, capture2 is sleeping, and capture3 is recording, getTunerStatus() returns a string array of capture1:recording xxx, capture3:recording, capture2 Confused

leeping.

Because thats the way I designed it to work. Pretty much everything inside GB-PVR is based on the allocation_order these days.

The IRecordingSource.Load() function requires the oid. Because I can't get the allocation_order for an oid, I can't match the Load() call to the status returned by getTunerStatus(). Suggestions?

I dont think you can can actually call that though, since its just an interface with no functionality.

This is part of my understanding my Tuner Status plugin for what can be done. I know you said the hardware name for each capture source was never intended to be exposed or played with. Maybe it's something I can't figure out a way and should give up on?

I'll post a code snippet tonight and explain what I'm doing. It's based on code from the Software Recorded plugin.

While not all the data you want access to is exposed by the current APIs, there is nothing to stop you querying the database tables to pickup this info. It'll also help you perform your do your allocation_order to oid if you do end up needing this.

I thought about adding SQL querying code. Is there support for this in GB-PVR, or do I need to use C# APIs?

You'd just need to use the standard .net data access classes.
