Uraycoder HDMI Encoder Extra

[gobo]

The " USBUIRTSend.exe samsung channel" is my colossus script.

The client I'm using is the NextPVR.exe client.

I guess with my limited knowledge with using scripts or terminology (and lack of sleep) here is showing.

I'll figure it out somehow.

Thanks again

It is not clear from that if you made the change to use %1 instead of %channel%

In Uraycoder1.bat I would simplify things and change

call C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\testtuner.bat %1

to

C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\usbuirtsend.exe samsung %1

Then before testing the extra run this

cmd /c C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\Uraycoder1.bat 6

until the lights flash

If you are stuck we need the logs with the Colossus tuning working.

Hi

I tried the %1 instead of %channel% but it didn't work.
(Sorry I didn't mention that before when you asked.)

I tried what you suggested and simplified it in Uraycoder1.bat to

C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\usbuirtsend.exe samsung %1

and ran the

cmd /c C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\Uraycoder1.bat 6

The USBUIRT flashed! I tried 1234, 4 digits, replacing the 6 and it flashed the correct 4 times.

When I tested the NPVR client it still didn't work.
It seems like the Extras- Uraycoder.xml is not passing the value to the script.

I'm attaching 2 logs files and hope that helps. One is the logs from  a working machine that has two working colossus cards that tune and blast correctly. On that machine One Colossus card blasts with HaupBlast.exe and the other blasts with USBUIRTSend.exe. I originally tried the new HDMI Network Encoder on that (Windows 7) machine. It didn't work there because as you said Windows 7 doesn't include CURL.

The machine I'm testing the Uraycoder and having these problems is a "newer" Windows 10 machine intended to replace the old one in use. On the Windows 7 machine NPVR is tuning/blasting the USBUIRT fine.

That old Windows 7 machine workhorse has been in use since the old BeyondTV and Meedio days without a hiccup! Then Sage, then Windows Media Center/Cablecard and now NextPVR. Still works but it's time. Cablecard was great. Colossus cards not so much with random freezing.


Thanks

Your script for the Colossus is not the same location

<blaster_executable>C:\Program Files\NextPVR\usbuirtsend.exe</blaster_executable>

Not sure where the Samsung profile.is stored either.

The example you show as non working on Win 10 is not working well but I did see the extra called. The stop isn't working sub might have a solution with a recent patch but I don't know the cause

That's ok. I really do appreciate the help.

With the file paths, they are in different locations on the new machine but the uraycoder1.bat file does point to the new correct locations.

As for me thinking that the value not being passed to the %1 in the .bat file. It doesn't seem to be that either because if I put some set digits in its place it still doesn't work.

I think I'm going to try on another machine (Win11). Maybe there something screwed up on this PC because this doesn't make sense.

[mvallevand]

I suspect it is specifying the location of the Samsung profile dat file. Maybe specify the full path

Oh My God. I think found a solution!

I remember reading in one if the threads somewhere about someone having to put the HaupBlast.exe in the NextPVR program directory for their issue. So on a whim I threw the USBUIRTSend.exe and samsung files in there and tried the NPVR client, and it worked! 

Playing around, I deleted just the USBUIRTSend.exe from the NextPVR program directory and it still worked. When I deleted the samsung file it stopped working. Putting samsung back alone, works again!

Now, the weird part about this is that I did not change the Uracoder1.bat file at all. The .bat file still points to the files in the scripts directory.

and both of these work:
cmd/c "C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\usbuirtsend.exe samsung" %1
C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\usbuirtsend.exe samsung %1

Not sure what that's about!

Just to be on the safe side the Uraycoder1.bat file now points fully to the NPVR program director and it still works.

Uraycoder1.bat:

@echo off

cmd/c "C:program files\nextpvr\usbuirtsend.exe samsung" %1

curl.exe -s http://192.168.1.168/0.ts




Just want to say thanks again for all the help.

Just saw your last text after I sent mine.
