iMONDisplayPlugin Release

kindt nick · 2011-01-19, 09:06 PM

Excellent!

Today I've added
- Get Auto-Datadirectory from Registry, (WinXp Problem)
- LineConfiguration for Next- & CurrentRecording
- 4 Fully Configurable Custom Lines

Will add the SQL Querry and time adjustment this weekend and upload it.

Just one more question, where is the DB located?

Grtz,
Nick

Having just returned from four week vacation, I'm able catch up on the goings on with NPVR, and am able to make a post or two.

Congratulations Nick on this work. I haven't run it yet, but know the effort involved. Looks like you've got some happy customers.

kindt nick Wrote:I know, problem is that older plugins didn't actually work with an API but rather with a "hack" into the actual SG_VFD.dll.
It provides more functionality then the official API but I have to write every from scratch. Meaning, for me, it would take weeks to accomplish that.
If you would like that, then we would have to encourage Ralphy to port the Externaldisplay code to nPVR.
....
So I guess the old VFD won't be supported natively, at least not with my code.

I found it interesting the no one has requested an update of the External Display pluging for NPVR. I figured no one must be using it any more other than me!

I made changes to the code ages ago (before the Soundgraph API was released) and have had it working well, especially with the new methods available in NPVR. The only problem is that I have not be able to get the External Configuration program to function the way it should, so I never published it (and no one asked for it anyway!)

If there is real interest in External Display (with or without the use of the Soungraph API, that I don't believe utilises the 96x16 pixels), then I suggest going back to this thread and ask.

i would have, but i had already rolled my own.. Smile

[of course with everything i wanted in it]
for me key is adjustability, as all my vfd's have different sizes so need to be able to re-arrange things depending on display size..
plus i didn't know if you were planning on updating it to npvr compatibility..guess i shoulda asked.. Smile

i'm all in favor of 'generic' software controllers that can be used in many situations, flexibility being main thrust..the more types of info/ways to display it the better..

update uploaded with

- Get Auto-Datadirectory from Registry, (WinXp Problem)
- LineConfiguration for Next- & CurrentRecording
- 4 Fully Configurable Custom Lines
- Current channel name, number
- current show title, subtitle, description.

if this works, I'll extend the Custom Lines and it also add the extra info for recorded video.

Grtz,
Nick

ahhh, good to see...so far custom strings working, but livetv doesn't give it's name...[Ch0 for sixth channel?] you have to cross ref channel_oid in epg to oid in channel, then get channel name...was working before... Smile

none of the {channelname} are working nor {StopTime}..[i get literal string "{StopTime}"]
and i notice nothing for 2nd line in livetv, is that right?
don't i need some sort of sqlite .dll?

oh and rectime format still has "H:MM tt" in it.. Smile

[note: 12hr format is h:MMt or any of a number of others]

will play with custom msgs some more and let you know how that is working, but seems good..

I've changed the casting of the Channel-object.
That's the reason why the whole thing doesn't work.

Could you try again with this update?
will not work either, but this way, I'll now the exact name of the object.

I don't need an extra dll file to manage sql query's.
The standard "System.Data.SQLite.dll" does the trick.
But thanks to your sqlite I got an insight on how the whole recording system works.
(Cannot test anything over here)

"StopTime" Should be "Endtime" for the Recording format strings.
ChannelName doesn't work cause the Channel-object does not get casted.

Also, could you upload your %datadirectory%/npvr.db3, if it is not to big.
This way I can use your database to test the functions here.

grtz,
Nick
