Hi, here are the configuration and log files.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi,

Hi, here are the configuration and log files.
Thanks again for your help.

It seems to be that the connection to the DVBViewer via the COM interface isn't possible.

The difference between the very old version ist the event handling of the DVBViewer. The old one doesn't support event handling.

Could you remove the directory directory "gen_py" of the configuration folder and could you try it again.

Regards
Prinz

The "gen_py" folder was empty, I tried to remove the complete configuration folder but always the same error.
Otherwise, could it be possible to put the old DVBViewer plugin in the latest version of EventGhost ?

Hi,

The "gen_py" folder was empty,

Does a write permission problem with this directory exists? The folder must contain generated python code build on runtime. If it's empty the COM interface can't work.

Hi,

I don't think so, there are other files in the Application Data\EventGhost folder (config.py and pluginManager).

[Prinz]

Hi,

The gen_py folder should be generated if the EG is started and a access to the DVBViewer is taken by EG.

Could it be that you haven't try to use the DVBViewer?

After this action, following files must be found in this directory:

Code: Select all

017FD4A8-5E00-4DF8-A388-434B8E592CC4x0x1x1
__init__.py

The folder "017FD4A8-5E00-4DF8-A388-434B8E592CC4x0x1x1" should contain:

Code: Select all

DVBViewer.py
DVBViewerEvents.py
DVBViewerEvents.pyc
IChannelCollection.py
IChannelCollection.pyc
IDVBViewer.py
IDVBViewer.pyc
IDVBViewerEventhelper.py
IDVBViewerEventhelper.pyc
IDVBViewerEvents.py
IDVBViewerEvents.pyc
ITimerCollection.py
ITimerCollection.pyc
__init__.py

No, it can't be a problem of the setup. The missing files is not a plugin problem. They should be generated automatically by the pythoncom library on the first access to the DVBViewer.

I have checked your setup on my system and it works.

It could be that the path of the generated files is not correct. Could you search for one of the files (e.g. IDVBViewer.py) on your boot partition?

Hi, I finally found the problem : my firewall blocked the control of DVBViewer!
I allowed it and all seems to be ok now.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Is there a way to configure this plugin to only send commands to DVBViewer when it is already running?

For example, I have the "Guide" key on my remote assigned to MediaPortal's EPG. If MediaPortal is not currently running, when I press "Guide" I get a message in the EventGhost log "Application not running!", and nothing happens which is the behavior I want.

If it have the "Guide" key assigned to DVBViewer's OSD EPG, DVBViewer starts up when I press the "Guide" button.

I have the following problem with the dvbviewer-plugin.

What's the meaning of the following log?

The problem is, that dvbviewer don`t work and the recservice cannot restarted.

Thank you for any help.

Hello!

First I'd like to thank Prinz for his excellent plugin!

Is it possible to retrieve detailed information about the timer/recording when handling the StartRecord and EndRecord events that the DVBViewer plugin emits?

My goal is to notify myself about recordings using Prowl. I already have a Python script in my EventGhost configuration to notify myself that just sends the event name of the event that triggered the macro. So what i need is information on how to retrieve the recording information for the recording that has started or ended using the DVBViewer plugin.

Thanks in advance, kind regards,
Jens

Hi

what a coincidence, I had the same requirements (and a few more). A few weeks ago I've extended the existing DVBViewer plugin 2.0.0 and now I'm going to publish here a new version 2.1.1.

It implements the following changes:

• New action 'GetTimerDetails': Returns details of one or all current recording timers
• New action 'GetChannelDetails': Returns the technical details of one or all DVBViewer channels
• New action 'TuneChannel': Tunes DVBViewer to an arbitrary channel with the given channelID
• Changed internal ChannelIDs from 32bit to 64bit
• Moved HTML documentation into separate file (for easier maintenance)

hth.
