help requested with sending IR Blast command with extra

[_Dam0_]

here is extract of my extras-.xml file

Code:

<extras>
    <channel name="LiveTV">
<command>ffmpeg.exe</command>
<args>-i "http://IP:8866/live?channel=111" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts - </args>
    </channel>
</extras>

im trying to get it to use plink.exe to send IR command, but it keeps getting ignored??

ive tried a *.bat file to run the commands sequentially, ive tried & symbol between commands, even tried start /B at beginning of line 1, but no joy.

Code:

    </channel>
    <channel name="LiveTv Test">
<command>C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\LiveTVTest.bat</command>
<args></args>
    </channel>

where *.bat is

Code:

plink.exe to ip of IR blaster & pathtoFFMPEG.exe -i "streamIP/port" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts -

any help much appreciated,

edit - i should mention that channel change works fine via dos/windows, just seems to be ignored by nextpvr??

I find it truly unusual to read two related posts in one week to such an esoteric topic which feels like chatgpt spam but giving the benefit of doubt you should read the other post https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=65811

thanks for the reply, i think i found solution by myself - using webserver calls to channel changes

thx again,

Ok from the first post I thought it looked like you might even be able to control the device as a IPTV since channel number was a parameter.
