send channel chanes via winLIRC??

There should be a program called ... haupblast.exe ... in ... c:\Program Files\NextPVR ... try this at the Command Prompt ... "c:\Program Files\NextPVR\haupblast.exe" 47 ... (or whatever channel number) including the quote marks

Sorry I forgot telnet isn't installed by default anymore. It seems look just a typical tcp connection, I don't know why autoit is needed I wonder why there are no powershell script for this?

Just FYI, many years ago I tried to write a blaster program using WinLIRC as the conduit. It was a bust. WinLIRC seems to use the clipboard to pass commands around, and that didn't work with NextPVR running as the SYSTEM user. I didn't see anyone mention in the thread, but you might try having NextPVR run as the logged in user (I think it has to be an admin user for WinLIRC to work).

OK..........so, I eventually found that i wasnt going crazy, there just is no telnet. (aparently it's not windows since win7). However i managed to get it installed, and am able to put the IP address (in this case 127.00.1 as its on the lcal machine) and the port 8675 but get no onscreen feedback in the command prompt window, so i dont honestly know if i've successfully "telneted" into winLIRC.

copying that and pasting into command prompt just gvies me an "system cannot find teh path specified" (normal command prompt, and same result when CMD ran as administrator)

Tried to change NextPVR so that service is run as my account (which is an admin account).  this still doesnt cause WinLIRC,exe nor transit .exe to blast anything when either of them is configured as the blaster executable.

Have you got these working outside of NextPVR? It sounds like you might need to use the is DrakeBlast, so that it doesn't rely on the clipboard.

Based on what I saw on in autoit I rewrote that script in PowerShell (which may be the worst program language ever)

Note you will need to change zte2 to whatever profile you created.

To test it run  

powershell -File Drake.ps1 1 2 3

and see if changes your channels.

After you get that working try this as the command line for NextPVR.

powershell -File FullPath\Drake.ps1 {channel_d1} {channel_d2} {channel_d3} {channel_d4}

If you want any additional support use v5 and I will look at the logs.

Apologies ... I got my V5 mixed up with my V4 ... Should be ... "C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\haupblast.exe" ...
