excellent.. you got the batch file working to split up the digits? then you're there..
in config, select .exe changer, and type *.bat in the browse box to see .bats and select your batch file..
it'll append a {channel} to params automatically if you don't enter anything, so you can just hit ok after selecting batch file..
as long as your batch file accepts %1 as channel# then you're good to go..try it out..
[gbpvr will execute "yourbatfile.bat ####"] which should execute uutx -fDish1.dat # for each digit... ####=channel number

let me know if the batch file gives you any problems..

here's what i'd use.

rem Remote# is %2
set input=%1
if not "%input:~0,1%" == "" @uutx.exe -f%~dp0%2 %input:~0,1%]
if not "%input:~1,1%" == "" @uutx.exe -f%~dp0%2 %input:~1,1%]
if not "%input:~2,1%" == "" @uutx.exe -f%~dp0%2 %input:~2,1%]
if not "%input:~3,1%" == "" @uutx.exe -f%~dp0%2 %input:~3,1%]

with this batch, use "{channel} Dish1.dat" for params in config.exe for Dish1.dat file codes. all files in same dir..

It's working, I need to make a few changes:

Code:

rem Remote# is %2
set input=%1
if not "%input:~0,1%" == "" c:\uutx\uutx.exe -f%~dp0%2 %input:~0,1%
if not "%input:~1,1%" == "" c:\uutx\uutx.exe -f%~dp0%2 %input:~1,1%
if not "%input:~2,1%" == "" c:\uutx\uutx.exe -f%~dp0%2 %input:~2,1%
if not "%input:~3,1%" == "" c:\uutx\uutx.exe -f%~dp0%2 %input:~3,1%

pBS, thanks for your help.

I pray it works without loosing contact with the uirt.
I have a fix for that, a .bat file that I can schedule that reloads the usb driver.

well, looks like you have to use the alternate driver to use hip in win7...
because of new security, circlass will only talk to network service, and i think hip uses a normal user thread to hook it..
tried running it as admin, couldn't get it to load as a service, but will try another way to do that..
[that's how almost all others got mce dongle to work in win7, service helper app]

unless someone knows how to use the standard windows driver for mce dongles in win7..
please let me know...i've tried everything..
works great with the vista ver of alternate driver so far tho..
[maybe a tiny bit slower?]

[steve232]

I have been having a problem with the UIRT going away. GB can't change channels. This is also Win7.

So I tried directly from the command line. It reports that it can't find the UIRT.

I placed a USB UIRT reload command in the .bat script, a little slower, but it seems to work every time.

ahh, yea i had to insert an enter before blasting also cuz it would be slow to wake up the hardware with alt driver... [pre=1]
but doubtful that would help with uirt as mine's a mce dongle..hardware seems to be there, just is slow for first digit..
now all ch. changes are as reliable as in XP.. [at least with mce dongles]

i'll still be working on changing the security for the circlass driver so we can use hip[or anything else] with mce dongles..
i don't think it's a major security hole to have my ir devices available to any local user..
so circumventing it shouldn't be much of a risk...
look in circlass.inf for HKR,,Security,,"D(" etc etc..
if i could find the device to replace built-in .inf with edited one we'd be set..
but i can't find circlass anywhere..

Hi all. First time poster having a little trouble and needing some help. I successfully setup GBPVR using Net2HipSend and have been enjoyed using it immensely for around 3 months. However, I’m now having some trouble and it’s related to Net2HipSend.
My pvr pc has not been connected to the internet. A couple weeks ago I replaced my old DSL router with a new wireless router and my pvr pc is now connected wirelessly. In the process I installed Comodo Internet Security. Once I had the system setup I updated the program guide and tried to watch tv. No go. Everything works fine except it’s now not blasting my channels. I assumed it was a firewall problem and possibly the new router causing trouble with the port (8084). I switched ports, trying several different ones, and at the same time made allowances in both the router and Comodo firewall. Still no go. I then disabled Comodo and disconnected from the wireless network and even disabled the wireless card in the pc and it still won’t work. I’ve verified the IP’s in HIP and that HIP will blast the channels and have narrowed it down to Net2HipSend. Or so I think. I know I’ve missed something but just can’t find it and after scouring the WIKI and forums I finally decided to ask for help.
I know it’s probably obvious but I just can’t find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Denny

welcome! glad you've been enjoying it so far, we'll see what we can figure out to get you going again..
since you already had it going, i can assume the hip parts are ok..
it only communicates with localhost, so routers don't enter into the equation..nor network cards of any kind..
but it does use tcp and ports, so antivirus and software firewalls do enter the mix..
i assume you've changed the ports on the net2hipsend.exe cmd line also? [port=8084]

oh, which version are you using? the new one with params in any order? or the one on first page of this thread?

also, did you change in hip preferences the allowed ip ranges? you should at least have 127.0.0.1 in there to allow localhost access..
[it's the range of ip addresses hip http server will allow access from]
of course have to tell antivirus and any software firewalls to allow hip.exe and net2hipsend.exe to access network...
maybe the antivirus has it's own software firewall?
[i'm not familiar with that one]

oh, might wanna try 127.0.0.1 for server, instead of localhost, in case your dns is buggered up..

[DennyS]

Hi pBS. First of all, thanks for net2hipsend and the blazing fast response.

i assume you've changed the ports on the net2hipsend.exe cmd line also? [port=8084]

Yes, I changed the port to 8086.

oh, which version are you using? the new one with params in any order? or the one on first page of this thread?

The new one using parameters. My PVRX2 config is...
{channel} port=8086 enter=1 server=127.0.0.1

also, did you change in hip preferences the allowed ip ranges? you should at least have 127.0.0.1 in there to allow localhost access..

Yes, I'm allowing 127.0.0.1 as well as the entire 192.168.254.### subnet.

maybe the antivirus has it's own software firewall?

Yes, it does. I've made all the adjustments I can find and have even completely turned the application off.

[pBS]

try it from a browser window..open 127.0.0.1:8086 in a browser window and see if it connects...if that works try it from cmd line..
oh and just turning it off might not disable all of it..plus check the windows firewall just to be sure it isn't getting in the way...[it should be completely off if using another firewall..]

[DennyS]

Ok, I was able to connect in firefox and was also able to send an IR command from there. I tried the following cmd line with no luck...
<path> 41 port=8086 server=127.0.0.1
