Creating .exe for Sky Q Commads

[sub]

Am I missing something here? What I mean is if you have 'Something.exe', what goes in that?

Anything you want goes in there. It just need to accept the channel number parameter from the command line.

ie, you'd probably do something like the equivalent of this c# code:

Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Blaster
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            if (args.Length == 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Usage:");
                Console.WriteLine("\tBlaster.exe <ChannelNumber>");
                return;
            }

            // get channel number from command line
            string channelNumber = args[0];

            // split into individual digits
            foreach (char digit in channelNumber.ToCharArray())
            {
                SendDigit(digit);
            }
        }

        static void SendDigit(char digit)
        {
            ... code to send digit to SkyQ box ...
        }
    }
}

is it the code you have posted, or is that from the NVR source code? Apologies if I am asking the wrong questions.

That was some NextPVR code, just showing it running something.exe with the channel number as a parameter.

I think I've been having a similar conversation with the OP over on the Kodi forum, so just for completeness, I have written an alternative channel changer in Python that uses an Iguana blaster instead of the Haupage one (mostly because I wanted to be able to send other commands besides channel numbers). It's available at:

Since you have to call the python interpreter to run the script, it took me a little trial and error to figure out how to set that up in NextPVR, but here's what it looks like:
