I can change channels using ComController but I can't send command line commands such as "zir 5-2" which does do a channel change properly.
Using DirecTV.exe I can send the same command properly but it precedes it by FA AA 06 which messes up my STB.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Port opened by process "ComController.exe" (PID: 3332)

0D 7A 69 72 20 35 2D 32 0D .zir 5-2.

Port closed
-------------------------------------------------------------
Port opened by process "DIRECTV.EXE" (PID: 520)

FA AA 06 7A 69 72 20 35 00 0D úª.zir 5..

Port closed
-------------------------------------------------------------
Using ComController it changes channel properly; using DirecTV, it doesn't because of the extra characters sent before the "ZIR 5" command.

1) Is there a way to send commands to com-controller directly?

2) How can I block the 3 extra characters sent by DirecTV?

did you look in com controller help file where i mentioned? it has the post codes needed to send keys to it in background...just like i send to gbpvr...
so in hip, a blast digit would be like {!1, 52, 0} at least that's what i gather from the help file...tho i don't see how those can be sent from ir definitions, must be setup using a regular keymapping i guess..

or just a regular post command: POST(1224,5,0)
[HIP is 1225]
i'm thinking just add a value '0' and hit 'post' for command, set 1224 as 'message' and your command as next number at bottom and that's it..maybe just 0 for second number..

oh and i just saw ccsend.exe in that package...it sends commands to com controller directly without hip..
i think you can only send one # at a time with that so you'll need a batch file to split up the numbers into single digits..
[i can help you with that if needed, made one already..]

Code:

@echo off
echo Changing channels 1 number at a time..
if "%1" == "" echo No channel given! && goto :eof
set ch=%1
:: replace 'echo' below with your changer program .exe
ccsend.exe 00%ch:~0,1%
ccsend.exe 00%ch:~1,1%
ccsend.exe 00%ch:~2,1%

this batch file can be placed as .exe channel changer in config..

in CCC you'll want to have only digits 0-9 setup as labels 000-009 so you can blast them easily..
[so sending '124' to batch file executes ccsend 001 then ccsend 002 then ccsend 004,
activating codes for labels 001, 002 and 004 in ccc]
post your .ccc file and i can give more help..

PBS, can you make a Net2hipsend entry in Wiki? I would like to point the following pages to it -
http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardw...nelChanger
http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Confi...nelChanger
http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tips/...rdware.HIP

Thanks

i've been meaning to put up a whole new hip page as i have preset files to use to make it really easy,under 5 minutes to setup hip with mce remote and blasters..
i gave the new pvrx2 preset file to the hip guy to include in next version,tho who knows when that'll be..[gave it to him months ago]

you can point them to this thread,first post for now if you want..i'll just be copying most of it over anyways...

i'll see if i can't get it done this weekend..

I had already pointed a couple of those Wiki entries to this thread. I'll update them once the Wiki entry is made. Thanks again for everything.

no prob. sharing the knowledge is why it works, and don't cost a thing..
so much marketing fluff on the web, takes real people to whittle it down to the relevant real info...
saves tons of time and confusion..

umm,been a while, how do i make a new page on wiki?

[pBS]

looking at wiki there are old files already on there that need to be replaced, they still point to gbpvr.exe as executable...i have replacements...
from here:

[pBS]

all fixed...uploaded and replaced outdated ones...now they should work at least..

yea, i'm gonna have to make a new page...the instructions there aren't even correct..
it's all presetup...
mine leverages the preset files to make it more universal..
and i have the repeat fix to add...

p.s. found out how to add wiki page so n/m...

and that info isn't quite correct, net2hipsend can be used with *any* blaster within HIP..
setup is same for all...
and same can be said for hipsend...

I agree

I started the page after all, it just needs to be completed now. http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tips/Net2hipsend

Where should those files be posted? I haven't learned to upload to the Wiki yet.

upload is easy if there's a link already, just click the little red triangle next to the download and it will take you to upload section..
for new links just put attach:filename.ext on page
then view page and hit the red triangle there to upload
or load the page with "?action=upload" at end of url to upload directly..
then link with the attach:file.ext
