Extra using haupblast.exe

[tree2369]

Been trying to mess around with using haupblast.exe with an external .ts stream to send ir commands.

I have a hd pvr 2 but want to use my hdmi encoder as it supports 4k60 

I have searched through the forum trying to find an answer first but have become stuck.

Currently i can see the extra and load in the stream using this extras xml

<extras>
  <channel name="{channel-name}">
    <command>cmd</command>
    <args>-c \Users\Public\NPVR-Data\foxtel.bat {channel}</args>
  </channel>
</extras>

But with this bat file i cant seem to trigger the channel change

@echo off
C:\Program Files\NextPVR\HaupBlast.exe %1

curl -s http://192.168.193.4:8086/0.ts

This bat file was just a guess from what i could see other people doing but it seems that its not executing the haupblast.exe as when i enter this in a cmd window 

"C:\Program Files\NextPVR\HaupBlast.exe" 504

It will send the ir command for 504, so im hoping ive just got the formatting wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for my lack of knowledge.

First, please post in the Extra sub forum

- it is /c not -c I think
- your command line is correct but your batch file doesn't follow the same model, no drive letter or quotes

You can test everything without NextPVR using this (with your channel number)

Code:

cmd /c "C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\foxtel.bat" 1234  | "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\Other\ffplay" -i pipe:

Apologies.

Thank you for the help.

I think i have gotten a little bit closer now.

When I tune a channel from the Extras source it now loads the stream and then tries to send a IR command but is now just 000 unless i specifically put a number instead of the %1.

I doubt the %1 one is correct - i think i pulled it from another post thinking it was correct.

Should something else be there to call on the {channel}?

Current setup:

xml

Code:

<extras>

  <channel name="{channel-name}">
    <command>cmd</command>
    <args>/c \Users\Public\NPVR-Data\foxtel.bat {channel}</args>
  </channel>
</extras>

bat

Code:

\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\HaupBlast.exe %1

curl -s http://192.168.193.4:8086/0.ts

So yeah, if i put a channel number where %1 is, it will blast that code with haupblast.exe now.

So just need to work out how to automate that to the {channel} and will be sorted!

Thanks again for you help.

Code:

\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\HaupBlast.exe %1

curl -s http://192.168.193.4:8086/0.ts

 
Figured it out.

Needed the baupblaste to have " around it like so:

Code:

"\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\HaupBlast.exe" %1

curl -s http://192.168.193.4:8086/0.ts
