Thanks for the effort.
I'll test it when I get back from vacation the end of the month.
I think you said you have the the same dish 322 stb. How do you work around the stupid screensaver?
Now, I just program the stb timer to go to ch 203 twice a day.

Could your code be modified with a switch to always send ENTER, then the ch #?
I guess I could use windows task scheduler and a command line .bat file to send the ENTER command twice a day.

Thanks again
Steve

there should be an option to disable screensaver in stb menus somewhere..tho that depends on the firmware you have on the box...[not all use same firmware]
i just got new boxes so now have dp301 boxes but they have same remote codes..

yea, an enter-before should help the situation with screensaver, but i'd check menus first as it would be better if it never came on..
may also want to search for info online as most boxes have secret buttons to get to secret settings to config things they don't want customers to see normally..

if you can't get it to stay off, let me know and i'll stick a pre-enter in there..

done...see if this one works for ya...added param pre=1 for pre-enter..

[steve232]

pBS, I haven't had time to test everything yet. But it appears I can now select each of the 3 uirt xmiters. I haven't tried the pre-enter yet.


Thanks again.

cool, i've been using it without issue since then, so it's stable with new params..
not as ridiculously zippy as it used to be, but still faster than any alternative..
still have to get the new ver on the wiki...

Appears I was wrong on being able to select each output. The uirt is driving all 3 no matter which remote= is selected. The camera I'm using has a power/batter problem and keeps shutting down so I've had a hard time verifying the setup.

Your code is selecting the correct remote. I put a bogus entry in the table, nothing was sent

I'll keep looking at it, but it may be a hip issue.

hmmm, test from the hip edit ir cmds screen and if it works there it's my setup..else it's hip..
also while in that screen, verify each remote's blaster eye selections..
it may not have saved changes correctly..
maybe also test from web page...should be able to clearly select remote there..

[steve232]

I'm sure your code is OK.
To get the uirt to select a ir emitter, you put a z1, z2 or z3 in front of the command string. This works in using the gb channel changer.
So I did an edit to a channel on the left remote, added the z1 to the string.
Then tested it in hip, reported no command sent (error).

Then used net2hipsend, you don't report the error, but the uirt's red led didn't blink. So it appears you are selecting the correct remote.

So all three methods yield the same results, hip, net2hip and web page. Hip isn't telling the uirt which ir emitter to send the command to.

I wonder if the dish 322's ir remote address can be changed? I'm trying to use the uirt to control two boxes.

might wanna look on hip forum site for help on that one..
but i think you don't put it in front of the number code, you put it in front of the actual data being sent to the device...
[in the long string that makes up the learned ir cmd to blast]
so on right side of hip edit ir cmds, at bottom the unreadable string there...below the label etc..
or it should be in the file that has that data in it, so edit each digit's file..
other than that i'm not sure..

[steve232]

Here is the command for the number 2
RID is the uirt ir transmitter number, 1 for the main, 2 for Left, 3 for Right

BID is the remote key number

I placed the z2 as a test like this:
DATA=z13030303020303034 . . .

and

DATA=z1 3030303020303034 . . .

Both appeared to error.

[pBS]

have you tried changing the rid#?
RID=2
so the BID changes for every digit? i wold think rid=RemoteID where BID=BlasterID..
maybe try changing to BID=2 if they are all #1...
oh and may have to add to the size= param since you are adding to Z1 data..

and the ones i saw had a capital Z so might wanna try that at beginning of string if you didn't before..
[sometimes it's the silliest things]
otherwise it's in how HIP addresses the uirt...it has worked in past...may need earlier version or earlier plugin version or something..
