I'm trying to get this to work as described in the post, but with no success.

chchannel.bat

Code:

@echo off
set /a d1=%1+7
set /a d2=%2+7
set /a d3=%3+7
adb shell input keyevent %d1% %d2% %d3%

If I run the following on a command line all works fine and the channel changes:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\scripts\chchannel.bat 3 2 8

Under Devices I have Blaster Executable Path set to: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
and channel field set to: {channel_d2} {channel_d3} {channel_d4}

The log file shows the channel arguments resolve correctly, but I can't get NextPVR to actually run it and change the channel.

See log file.

What am I missing?

Why do you ignore d1?

When looking in the log {channel_d1} would appear to always get set to 0.  {channel_d2} is my first correct channel number.  The channels I am changing are 3 digits long.

Log when tuning to channel 328.  This all looks correct, but the bat file never seems to get executed:

<tuning>
  <type>HDPVR</type>
  <locator>
    <channel>328</channel>
    <input>3</input>
    <audio_input>3</audio_input>
    <blaster_executable>C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe</blaster_executable>
    <blaster_args>/C C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\scripts\chchannel.bat {channel_d2} {channel_d3} {channel_d4}</blaster_args>
  </locator>
</tuning>

Ok I didn't know sub adjusted it to 4 digits but that is why I added the echos for testing.

Did you try running cchannel.bat as the tuning executable? That makes more sense to me.

I can't remember if it changed sometime in the v3/v4 releases, but it's always been 4 digits in v5/v6. (or you can use {channel} for the full number)

[mvallevand]

Yes sorry, I checked and my scripts all parse the full channel number into digits when needed.

Got it working.

The issue turned out to be I need to explicitly set a path to arb in the .bat file. It worked on the command line because I had set and environmental path variable to it.

Thanks for helping!!!
